Default Replacement Honda Key

How do I go about getting a replacement key for my civic?

My car was in an accident a couple months ago, and the law suit is taking a while, so I'd like to put my car in storage for the time being. In the process I have lost my keys for this car. Is it possible to get them recut by honda without getting new locks?

It takes about 5 minutes to take the steering column apart and remove the lock cylinder.

Well I have been tossing around the idea of maybe rebuilding the car and flipping it if the lawsuit goes over well, so I would prefer not to ---- with the lock cylinders unless I need to. I heard that you can give honda some lock code and they can reproduce your key but I haven't been able to find much info about it

It would take a pretty dumb person to ---- that job up. In the time it took you to make this post you could have already had the ****** apart and moved.

Well no, I kno that I could do that no problem, but then it does nothing to help the problem when/if I sell the car.

GO TO THE HONDA DEALER WITH PROOF OF OWNERSHIP AND THEY CAN CUT A KEY OFF THE VIN...

i work at a dealer, we do it all the time. go in with your title/registration and drivers license that matches proving its your car and they can cut you a key. we charge $7.98 for the key, cutting, and getting the code for the key...

this is all assuming that the ignition has not been changed since Honda built it...

Thanks a lot

Temporarily, but to get the car back with a good body and such would proabably only cost between 2 and 3 grand. In my area, hondas in decent shape sell for way more than they are worth
