That depends how old your car is... if the key has a fat rubber head, it is a transponder key and can't be duplicated except at the dealer. It must be programmed to the car's anti-theft system. A flat plastic head on the key means it can be duplicated at any hardware store with a "keys made" sign in the window.

Some car keys can't be copied and need to be ordered through the dealership. Hopefully you can just take yours to a key-copying place. The only way to find out is to go see.

As most have said it is dependent upon the year of vehicle. The newer vehicles last 7-10 years depending on make have anti-theft chips programed to the vehicle.the owner manual can give some insight on this ,if it does have a chip it needs to be programed through a series of ons and offs of the original keys to get it to operate. If it is just for unlocking the door and not starting the car a normal unprogramed key that is of the proper size will do for that.

Depending on the type of car you have. Call that dealer they can give you a 1-800 number to call or if you have the Manuel sometimes the 1-800 number is in there, when you call the number you will need the Vin number on the dash of your car then those people will call a lock smith near you to have the key made. Cost will be about $75.00 if your key has a chip in it.

yes you can, however most car keys made in the last 5 years have whats called a transponder in youre key. its costly and if you have one it will cost aprox 80-200 bucks for one key, they can scan your key and tell you or not, if a copy is made and you dont use the right type of key the engine will rotate but wont start, dont go to the dealer it will cost even more try home depot or lowes

Depends on the car and the key. If you have a high end car that you can open the door with the key, or like a Mercedes, then you need to go to the dealership. If you have a flat metal key, or one with just a smaller plastic end on it, you should be able to go to any place that cuts keys. If they don't have your key, then you probably have to go to a dealership to get it.

Depends on what car and year it is most of the new cars have chips in the key . if yours has a chip you will see a small square around the top of the key where it hook to your key ring

Competent locksmiths can get the blanks and cut the keys. Some of them can program the keys, but definately the dealer can program the key. They will be quite expensive, especially since you don't want them affordable by car thieves.
