Laser Key Cutting
« on: June 19, 2008, 01:01:34 PM »
Anyone know of a good place to pick up a new key for the S4 and to have it cut?
Dealer wants almost $300 for everything, can't quite bite that big of a bill for a key  :(

$300?  I think I got a whole switch blade key with fob from Rochester hills for about $100.  Autohaus in Royal Oak has a key cutter too.

$140 of it was for reprogramming, which I know I can do on my own anyways. but that still leaves $160 for a key :o Sounds like Rochester will be a better option. Do you know how much Autohas charges for a cut?

Are you sure you need programming? My 00 A4 didn't.

I think it was $20, but call ahead.  They are open on Saturday.
