Lost keys to 87 MGM......what now?????

[Caddydaddy13]

well the locksmith came out and made the keys at like 8 AM, called me at 8:30 and it cost me $100! WTF? And he just made two ignition keys.... didnt make the door keys!
so now if i want door keys it will cost me $25 extra?
So i am not too happy..... but now i can at least drive the car.
perhaps this is the beginning of a not soo good relationship....

How far did he travel to get to your location?

In my opinion?

$125 for the keys is fair.

Knowing that, I may have new keys cut for my doors and trunk rather than replacing the lock cylinders.

Hey, have you been in the trunk at all mang? I'm wondering if you the locked keys in the trunk. Put the key on and pop the trunk!

[Caddydaddy13]

Nope i checked the trunk no dice..... cant find them anywhere. i am afraid they might have been thrown out!
As for the lockssmith he only traveled about 15 minutes... but there are only a few where i live. Im kinda in a country-ish area. about 30 miles from major area.
I still feel that $125 is high, considering it took him maybe 15 minutes to make keys... just my opinion i guess.

I know of some locksmiths that will make keys for locks if you bring them the locks for about $30 each lock. But if they have to come to you... yeah... $100 easy just for one.

$125 isn't bad. On a business trip, a locksmith charged me $75.00 just to get into a locked rental car. That was probably over five years ago.
