Replacement Ignition Key

hey guys, ive lost one of my ignition keys and im goin to get a new one from my dealer(Garry & Warren Smith Oakleigh)

-a new blank key for a civic is $50
-key cutting is $20
-Immobiliser Programming is $20

the price seems accurate to me, but am i getting ripped off?
should i be expecting a free replacement from the genorosity of my dealer?

thanx in advance

PS. modz plz relocate if thread is in rong section

there are a few threads already about getting replacement keys and that price seems about right judging by how much others have paid...

btw why would you expect a free replacement? its not like they lost your keys?

coz i paid $22k for my car, a new key is $90

and in my suggestion for a free replacement, there was a large quantity of sarcasm laced within my words, as it seems they, they were laced too deep, thus allowing for the possibility of a misunderstanding

PS, the above was sarcasm! incase anyone missed it, LOL

$90 sounds about right, if you shop around you MAY get a further 5-10 dollar's off but not much more unless you know someone a locksmith/ key cutter.

Think about it this way,at least you're only paying $90 rather than $200+ for a replacement red key.

eh, cheap in my opinion. lucky you don't have the key and remote combinations.
they cost about 220.
not including programming and cutting.
lol.
