Hi. I am wondering if only a dealer can cut a 1998 S70 key?

I mean I can get a key on ebay for cheap, but then can I bring it to any good home/business locksmith and have it cut there ? of only the dealers have a special machine for this ?


thanks for your help

Dealer is the only place. They actually have to order them in- they're laser- cut. However, since yours is a '98, it shouldn't be too expensive. US spec 98s didn't have the immobilizer system. Being in Canada, that might be different, though. My local dealer charges like $25 for the '98 and down laser- cut keys, and around $100 for the immobilizer ones.

 

Thanks you very much for your help

I guess I will have to go to the dealer...

My local dealer cuts them as long as you have one for the car now. So yours might be able to as well.

 

intresting, is this true? i went to a locksmith today while car was being detailed and asked if the could cut the key if i brought it and told me yes, also said they could replace keyless entry remote
