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. :l

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. :l In the time it took you to make this post you could have already had the fucker 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...

Oh, I thought you were putting the car in storage.

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

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

Dealership ftw

When I bought my Civic it only came with the valet key. I brough the title to the dealership and it only cost a few bucks to get a regular key made.

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

Proof of ownership should all you need at the dealership, might cost ya 10 bucks

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

same with my car. WTF. How do you lose the master key? That should be the one that you carry around right?

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

Don't take a honda key blank to walmart for them to cut it. They'll destroy the blank then tell you there's nothing they can do cuz they don't sell those keys :1

Dipshit walmart.

Dealership like he said.

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

Yeah. I'm gonna give them a call on Monday. At least there's a lesson to be had; even if the car is wrecked, don't be a dumbshit and lose your keys

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

Thats probably how a lot of people steal cars, write down the vin, then get a coonection at Honda to cut a key for them.......

Would make type r's, gsr's, hell any honda an easy target

Glad my doors all use different keys ahaha

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

you miss the proof of ownership part?

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

You miss the connection at Honda part? Meaning shady mother fucker that will let someone steal your car for $50?

Re: Replacement Honda Key

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

I never knew you could get the key from the dealership for so cheap.
I forked out $100 for a mobile locksmith to make one for the wagon a few yrs ago. :1

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

I think just stealing the car is easier.

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

How many years do they go back? i couldnt get one made for my civic because it was too old?

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

not sure, some older cars dont come up i think. thought i did one for like an 88 Accord though...

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

you got ass raped, :o i've had a mobile locksmith come to my place twice (before i moved) to cut keys for me and it cost me $25 each time

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

I had one made for my brother. The parts guy printed me some numbers that he said to keep because they are getting rif of the older key info. It was a 91. So I stapled it to the title, and havn't worried since.

There was a news story last year in Minneapolis about all different dealerships that were cutting keys without the proof of ownership. The Honda dealership I go to told me, "we need to start having the title present b/c people are stealing cars with the keys." Man do I feel safe. lol.

Lucky for me I swapped my dash. I just left the old VIN on the dash. I have my real one in the garage.

Re: Replacement Honda Key
 

im sorta in the same boat with you there. the current vin on the dash is the vin the car is registered to. the vin on the door jam and firewall is different. havent gotten to them yet. but the car the dash came out of was the "registered" car and has since been crushed... get the hint... if not i dont have the title for it but i do................................................ .... :6 :8
