Where to get replacement car keys?
In an event of a lost car key most people default to calling their dealership. You can definitely call your dealership and they will make you a key fob replacement. The downside to calling a dealership is the cost. You will pay a lot more to get a key from a dealership than you would pay your local locksmith.
In addition, dealerships are not mobile so they can’t come to you. When you factor in the cost of towing your car to a dealership it ends up adding more cost to the process; not to mention the inconvenience.
So even though going through your dealership is an option for getting car keys, it’s not the best option when factoring in cost and convenience. What’s the alternative? Automotive locksmith.

You will not be disappointed at Keyway Lock Service.Elizabeth Laurie2022-12-07We bought a smart lock for our front door, realizing after we opened it that we didn't consider that the key would be different from the five other doors in our house. My husband Googled the problem and decided a lock rekeying kit was the way to go. Not wanting the lock to be destroyed (or for him to spend an entire Saturday trying to rekey the lock), I stopped by Keyway. Within 10 minutes I left with my lock rekeyed to match all our doors. They were kind enough to do it free of charge too. And, they prevented family conflict! If you need locksmith services, definitely consider them.Andrea B2022-11-26Customer service was pleasant and Luis (technician) was very knowledgeable and provided a great solutions for car key fob issues.
