Good evening everyone... Unfortunately my wife has lost the keys to the Monte while walking the dog... We are going out again tomorrow to look for them (no spare available - dumb I know)... If we don't find them, what would I need to do?... My ownership is in the car, so I guess I'll have to call someone to jimmy the car open... Where can I get a new key, from the dealer?... How much are they approx...?... Is there an easier way of doing this?... Thanks,

 

I always get a wire clothes hanger and push it through the weatherstripping and unlock the door (takes time and patience, unless your a crook lol). As far as a key goes idk how to go about getting a new one unless you change out the locks... I had this happen with my truck yesterday but I locked the doors and let the truck running like an idiot. I hit my passenger side window and it fell in the door, doubt that will work for ur Monte though...

 

I locked my keys in my monte once, had a very hard time trying to break in. Even with a slim jim i had no luck, couldn't hook the door lock either. Hopefully you'll find them

 

Couldnt you go to a GM dealer and give them the vin number n show them the title so they know you own it and get copies mailed to you? Thats what my grandpa did when he lost his harley keys.

 

Call a mobile lock smith. They can make you a key and get into your car. They should be able to give you an estimate over the phone.
I think AAA offers lock smith services as part of their benefit if you have them.

 

Thanks for info everyone... I guess I'll contact a lock smith and the dealer and compare prices... Question though, ours keys have some sort of metal insert in them, is that a computer chip or some sort of security device?... Can a lock smith replicate that?... Thanks for all your help on this,

 

This is what I would do.

 

A lock smith can replicate what ever key you have. The security/computer chip keys cost more. Making keys for my 02 PT Cruiser was quoted at 65 bucks a few years ago.

 

Our cars have no chip in them as far as I know. I bought my second key right of the rack at a hardware store.

 

Thanks everyone... Locksmith it is... I'll post back an update... What about the FOB?... Dealer?... Ebay?... Looking for lowest cost... Thanks again,
