Spare Car Key Duplication: comparing quotes

Generally yes, though it is worth mentioning any aftermarket system when you call, since a factory immobilizer that has been wired into a third-party alarm or remote starter sometimes behaves differently from the standard setup the locksmith expects. Knowing this in advance lets the visit account for it rather than discovering it partway through programming.

How many keys are needed

Making one spare is a smaller job than producing several matching keys for a whole household or a small fleet in the same appointment, and the quote reflects how many are wanted.

Aftermarket alarms or remote starters

A factory system wired into a third-party alarm or remote starter can add extra steps to programming, since the added equipment sometimes changes how the vehicle's module responds during enrolment.

Two vehicles booked into the same visit, such as a household's pair of cars, are generally more efficient to handle together than arranging two separate appointments on different days.
