Great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) That would have to be my next problem. So the only key I have to my car is missing. I've been looking everywhere this morning. How the heck can I get another one. I have 2 blanks ready to be cut. I hadn't gotten them copied yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I was going to work on my car today too. What the hell do I do now?

call a mobile locksmith right now!! they can 'read' (they wiggle/turn the soft blank in the ing, and it leaves tiny whitnessing marks) the ignition tumblers with a soft blank, they look up a code, and cut a new key on the spot. removal of the switch is not nessasary.

Hey Jamie,
Call 503/371-3776 Key Concepts He has a cool mobile set up and he makes house calls from the Salem area. Last October, I went to dinner with my wife and somehow lost my keys at the restaurant. I called AAA and they said "good luck". I didn't want to leave my bike infront of a restaurant over night knowing the keys could be very near buy, and I had no way to drag it home. He came down at 11:pm and made me a key on the spot for something like $120 (Oh and AAA reimbursed me $80) and even made me a whittled down spare that I could hide on my bike so this would never happen again. I'm telling you, a great guy. I forgot his name, but it's just him in his van. Local locksmiths recommend him to motorcycle guys who need a brand new key made, cause they don't want to mess with it. It's a thing of beauty; he's an artist! |

Most locksmiths I have encountered dont have "codes" or "blanks" to anything older than 85. I have tried many and several.
Good luck! |
