Ignition Key Programmed - Dealer in Laconia

Two new keys FOBs cut and programmed at dealer in Concord.

$69.00
but added
$5.00 each to cut key.
The cutting machine used uses the VIN number. Not a hardware store type cut.

All four operate properly. Yes, I always have at least 3 factory keys for each vehicle.

The new uncut key and FOB were $27.00 for two. At Amazon.

Why so many keys? Well, only one time I lost a key years ago. On that car, to program another key one needed 2 factory keys (a Ford). So I always have at least 2 working factory keys. Note that some of the aftermarket smart keys do not act as a factory key.

I always get factory OEM type keys. (original equipment manufacturer).
