I am at Toyota right now getting my oil change and I can hear the sales person telling a customer that it will cost 589 bucks to replace a key fob. I decided to look it up on YouTube and came across this video! I told the customer about the locksmith while we were outside. He thanked me and walked away. Thank you Scotty!

This video is over 2 years old and saved me about $400 from going to the stealership.
Thanks Scotty!

Another option to check first is Lowe's or Home Depot. I was going to pay a couple hundred bucks for an additional transponder key cut and programmed at a locksmith, but recently I was at Lowe's shopping around and asked them at the key center if they duped these type keys and sure enough they did. They had this huge computerized key machine and did it in a couple of minutes. Cost me $75 and works like a charm.

Was overwhelmed and stressed by my current key situation and scammy dealership. Scotty's informational shouting made me feel better haha and was quite educational thank you

Just got a Hyundai 2014, and they had one key fob. I had them get me another before we finalized the deal. Glad we did!

Today I called my local locksmith he made two chip keys $50 each and two keys just to unlock the car for $2 each

This is absolutely the best way to do it. I have a 2009 Corolla, and I decided I wanted to make some spares since I only have one key for it. I got two spares from Amazon for $30, and I found a traveling locksmith who was able to cut and program them for $100 total, so now I have three keys total.

2:25 "...some of them are complete buffoons..." Love it.

As an automotive locksmith I approve!!!! Your so correct we charge way less than the dealers!!!

Scotty is the MAN!! I bought two OEM 2013 Chrysler 300 keyless fobs on Ebay and got them BOTH programmed for $40 at my locksmith. Thank you!!!

that's why "old school" key is still the best

[tchrisou]

Scotty, you have saved me thousands of dollars over the years, I honestly appreciate the time and effort you put into your work and videos.

Some good advice. I had one of my keys stolen for a 2011 Mazda. The dealer wanted $270 for it. I just got a chipped key that did everything except remote unlocking and it was $167. So I used my 2nd FOB and used this key as a emergency spare. Also, RockAuto sells OEM key fobs for about 40-50% less than the dealer. Then just pay for the programming at a modern lock smith.

Scotty, as usual you saved me money with this one...! I bought a 2002 Sebring used car and wanted a second key for my wife. Dealer quoted me $267 to make a new key. I found one on amazon for $8, cost me $4 to get the key cut, and $67 for the dealer to program the key. Total cost was $79 for the new key. Now since I have 2 keys for the ignition, I can easily add more by myself by only paying for the key and to get it cut. I saved almost $200! thanks big time!

Good tips. Leave it to car company's to take something as simple as a key and complicate the hell out of it. Thanks for the video.

I was a locksmith for 11 years. Scotty is 100 percent right!
