Answers to common planning questions before you request a quote.
Is a spare cheaper than an all-keys-lost job?
Often, yes. Having a working key can make some checks quicker, depending on the system.
Can more than one spare be made?
Yes, if blanks and programming support are available for that vehicle or truck. Include quantity in the quote request.
