Just had a lucky outcome to bad situation

[Madmarky]

As soem of you know ive only just bought a Astra shed for a run around. Today i went to Tescos to do some shopping, came out and opened the boot, and the key snapped like it was made of butter.

 

I was just about to phone the AA and then i remembered that there is a Timpsons right next door to Tescos. So i went in there with the 2 parts of the key and luckily they were able to make me two new keys and code them for me. Took the guy about a minute to do and cost me £37.

 

So all in all a lucky outcome to what could of been a long wait for the AA and a expensive trip doen at Vauxhall

So does the key have an immobilser inside it then??? Did'nt know Timpsons did immobilsed keys also?? Yikes got my Van key to sort - at £37 its a bargain VW want to charge at least £100 min

£37 for 2 keys Stan the guy in Timpsons said they can code any key as long as they have a blank one to start with, he said it would cost me at least £70 for one at Vauxhall. They do 1 for £25 or 2nd half price which i though was good. They just read the code in the chip and copy it to the new keys, takes like 10 secs per key

will pop in to town and see if they can do it for me tomorrow
