Hello All,
I need help. Does anyone know where I could get a key for my 95 GS. Lost all my keys over the weekend, and i do not have a spare. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Yup. Oddly enough, I just did this two weeks ago.

Yep, I just had this done as well. I had cleaned out another car so my brother could use it to go to Indianapolis to visit my sister and I put all the stuff into a box, including the keys to my car (my plates were expired so I couldn't drive it). Well, my dad thought the box was trash and he put it on the burn pile. FYI, your only car key and a massive fire do not mix well. So I called the dealership and they said I could come in the next day and they'd cut me a new one, no problem.

Cost $12 and they had it done in about 5 min. You have to have you're registration though, I forgot mine at home and had to have my brother fax it in. All they need is your vin #, but you have to be able to prove ownership or they can't legally cut you a key.

I was surprised they could still do this for a car as old as mine (95) but it was no problem. I was even more surprised it was so inexpensive. I figured they had me by the balls and could charge what they wanted. You'll want to call ahead though, the first time I called they were out of the right keys, so I had to wait till the next day.

BTW, most of the dealers ive dealt with wont charge you for this :)

At least I have never been charged for it at the Mitsu or Dodge dealer.

This is a joke right?

My 90 year old Grandma knows even Home Depot can cut keys.

Yeah but for Home Depot to do that, they need the original.

and they never work because copying a worn key pretty much guarantees failure

When I had my honda I had a spare key made from my vin # they didnt want to use my copy for the fact mentioned above worn keys make bad copys. I just had my eclipse key copied because it was bent and my copy wont work for shit. So I am going to go up to the dealership for a good copy.
