Best place for new car key - Dublin 12(ish)

Ford Focus, 2014, have a key but without the remote central locking, where would the best place to get a remote key made up to suit the car. Autokey close enough to me, is there anywhere else I should be looking?#

Helping a young one in work with it, dont want her to spend a silly amount on it though.

+1 for Autokey but that being said, I have never gone anywhere else. Had at least 3 keys done by them over the years and never an issue. Prices are reasonable (well, they were, not sure about now..) and the service is good.

The last key I had made up by them was for an Opel and was the same circumstance as you have described. Had a key without the remote built in but the car had remote central locking. They took the key, cut it, put a new shell on it and coded it to the car in about 90 minutes. That was about 3 years ago and still works like a charm.

Are Auto Teknik not the crowd that stopped dealing with the public, and instead only deal with the trade (i.e. they only do work for other mechanics etc.)?
