Lost my Car Keys

colletteg

Mislaid my cars keys, have search everywhere and still no joy..
Anybody know of a resonable priced locksmith who can help me-I got a quote of €220 yest, is that a normal charge on that (call out to house)?
It's a 00 Ford Fiesta

Some locksmiths look after car keys! It's on google! They can programme a new key to the car on spot!

if you are getting a guy out that will replace your coded key and get you going again 220 does not sound bad at all, some cars require visit to dealer and new key can cost 700 upwards frightening stuff

Bear in mind that your old key is out there somewhere. Some insurance policies cover replacement locks and keys. House locks should also be changed if they're on the same keyring

I lost all my keys (only had the 1) Just showed them my docs for the car and they said no problem. Theres no remote on it all I wanted was to get into the car.



Found it then months after right enough.

It's the key with the red dot on the top of it... I can assume this one is the original.

My insurance covers the car to be towed to the dealer but have to pay for the key and programming.. Don't mind that option so much but want to see if I can get something a bit more reasonable.. as if get it done... they say I'd prob find the keys them
