I spent over two hours last night calling a dozen different locksmiths in the Chicago area, trying to get two duplicate keys made for my 2007 Saturn Ion. My key is just a basic key with no electronics or microchips, and yet they all gave me a similar story: they wanted $80-$120 per key plus $65-$100 to send their mobile unit to my home to cut it. They would not allow me to come to them as a walk-in. Lowe's and Wal-Mart did not have the cut, so it seemed I was doomed.
I'm glad I found Keyth's. The owner looked it up and said it was a $3.50 key and that was what he would charge me for it. He couldn't believe so many locksmiths were trying to deceive me into paying so much for a key with no microchip or electronics. I came to the store, he cut the keys, tested them in my vehicle's doors and ignition to insure that they worked, and charged me $3.50 each. The owner and his assistant were both friendly and professional.
These are honest people doing honest work. Highly recommended.
