Question Posted Thursday September 1 2005, 7:09 pm
Hey guys. I lost the key to my 1980 pontiac. I've called around and the cheapest locksmith that I can find is $100. Does anyone know any cheaper alternatives to locksmiths? Also, the door key and ignition key are the same, is there a chance that it's cheaper to get a door key?
Thanks!

Give them your cars VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) which is located on your windshield on the bottom left or right corner. They should give you a replacement key for free or for a minimum fee. If you can't get a key from a car dealer because you purchased it from another person then I suggest calling up every locksmith in your area, tell them your problem, and find the cheapest one. After finding the cheapest one, I suggest you get doubles of the key, that way if you lose it another time you won't have to worry about this again. Hope I helped. ~Sherah [ LiLReBeL6907's advice column | Ask LiLReBeL6907 A Question ]

Sorry this answer sucks, but I'm not really a car/key person seeing as I'm only 13. But my parents get us custom house keys at Tru-Value. Try there or like I said asking around.
