Can't believe I just dropped my keys down - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Rogan · 09-13-2011, 07:40 AM

the trash chute in my highrise.

I bought the car used and so the dealer didn't have a 2nd pair of keys. I'm waiting for maintenance to come let me in. The building isn't full with occupants (snow birds haven't come down yet) and there are 4 chutes total - so not much trash should be piling up on top of the keys. Security told me this happen a few times already and not to worry. Only thing is I was supposed to have my car on a lift this morning to finish putting some stuff on it.

Waiting for maintenance to get here. Dam I don't look forward to digging through trash.:(

Anyway - how much to you think its going to cost to have those keys duplicated - remote and all?

Not good, make sure you take a good shower after your trash dive

Not sure about these but when I had my Blazer I had to get a new key fob and get it programmed and even then it was $178 from the stealership.

What year was the blazer?

My dealer told me a new key is only like $60 now ...

blackSSRS · 09-13-2011, 07:52 AM

will be about 200-220 i'd guess. i had an 02 f 150 before the camaro. no buttons on key but still a chip in it. was 200 to replace. hopefully slingshot is right for 60 though. or better yet hire a neighbor kid for 20 bucks to go diggin for you

We just bought a new Equinox and the dealer said if we need a new key fob it will only cost around $50-$60 to replace. He said GM only charges around $32 for a new fob and then its just a bit more to cut the key.

v6sonoma · 09-13-2011, 08:03 AM

I'd say depends on your dealer. When my mom bought her 08 Saturn early this year I made them throw in another key, but it shouldn't cost more than $100 or they are screwing you. Have fun dumpster diving.

Nah jokes are cool.

And thanks about the avatar. She (my wife) is going to have a field day when she wakes up and find out what I did.

yes!! always try to make light of your situation. I'm fine now, but when I heard the keys falling I was so pissed. Now I can laugh at it.

Don't laugh until you've found them...
