Any Chevy people here?
 

I'm wondering if it's possible to have a key made for a Chevy if you lose the only key you have for it.

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

We once were Chevy folks.......lol

Did you buy it from a dealer? If so, they might have some sort of way of
being able to get you another key?

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

Yes, the dealer can get a key remade. It is expensive, if the keys have the chip in them.

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

But is it more expensive than having a car towed 15 miles to the dealer or have a new ignition put in? We still need a chipped key, regardless. Oh, and a remote, since that was with the key that's now lost.

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

We bought it from a Chevy dealer, so we are hoping they can get a key. The remote, however, may be what costs us.

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

Yes, it should only about $50, per key and remote.

When you call, be sure to tell them the model year of the car. After calling and being told they could do this, we went in to have a key made for a GMC pickup, to find out it was too old.

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

Ended up having the car towed, two keys and two remotes made....to the tune of $450.

He won't be touching my keys again! LOL!

Don't know why you didn't call a lock smith? My understanding is that the key code is located somewhere on the car. For instance toyota camry has it on the passenger side lock. Cost 60 to go in and retrieve. 60 to key.

The code is located in a hard to get to place for obvious reasons but is somewhere. This is something I would have enlisted a resource other than AFF.

Oh, now you tell her!

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

Unless the car is too old they should have been able to pull the key codes from the VIN number and then make keys from that. I think you got ripped off.

Re: Any Chevy people here?
 

The keys weren't the issue. I have to have a remote to even lock my doors and get back in. The remotes were about $130 each. Ouch.

Read my previous response. I have a 2010 Impala. No key entry anywhere.

I missed that as well Sasha. This is an example of how technology evolves with no regard for one's pocket book.

So, Monday, I'm getting dressed to go to an event for the evening and grabbed a pair of jeans that I'd worn some time ago that I'd just tossed across the dresser. As I placed them on the bed, I noticed something in the pockets.....

The keys.

The ORIGINAL keys.

I have no recollection of driving the car after he did that night, but the fact is, the keys were in MY pockets.

Of course, they don't work, but I'm told they could be programmed.

Last night, I ate crow.

We should have expected this. I have at least two of every tool I own!
