Duplicate Key plus fob - Honda civic

Options
Hi guys,
I am just wondering if you guys know how and from where I can make a cheap Honda civic car key along with fob. The dealers are very expensive and are charging around the figure of 150-200£. Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

    Have you tried Timpsons?
  • Where are you located ? Also, Google Auto locksmiths for your area. Generally tend to be cheaper.

    I've just paid £180 for a new fob and key for my Mazda MX5. Auto locksmiths said they couldn't do it, so I had to go to a main dealer who needed the car for an hour and had to re-programme the old key as well as the new one. £150 - £200 seems to be the going rate. The fobs contain quite sophisticated electronics.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    if you can get a fob cloned by someone then it's a pretty cheap job but if you want t done properly so the key is unique then its expensive as its a dealer job.

    The cloning route gets you out of trouble the expensive route keeps you out of trouble

    Be prepared for a cheapy cloned job not giving full functionality.

    £150 to £200 sounds normal to me.

    Some cars have clever keyless kit/fobs that costs a load more.
