    Call your Chevrolet Dealer, ask if they can cut the key by VIN. the dealer by me does it. It costs the same as making a copy, Last one cost me 4 dollars and they had their parts driver bring it to my house. They may require you to come down with ID and vehicle registration...good luck.

    Are you not able to speak with a locksmith in your town about this? According to you, IF you ever get a flat tire, you would then grab the smartphone to text a question here or other websites, to ask how much would it be to have a tire repaired or replaced? Do not laugh. I have seen this happen. The key factor is lack of logic which is related to lack of using the brain due to too much dependence on the smartphone. This rather common malady is directly related to the lack of control as to fingertips on a flat screen. Now, locksmiths do not agree, nationally, as to prices. From Main to Florida, from Minnesota to the Gulf Coast, there is no possible way for anyone to set a hard figure as to services. Each job requires different things. And all you need to do is to, rather than text, to use the voice feature of the phone, to dial a number in your city of a locksmith service company and then you say "Hello? is this a locksmith?" And then you explain what you want or need to be done. In turn, that expert locksmith will then explain the costs associated with a service call and a possible estimate. Estimate in the USA means they will charge that amount and then find a way to charge you more. It is all about sales. OK? But no here, not ever, ask about "costs" for no one knows. We could guess, but what good is that? Do you agree?

    Let me see - you don't know what year the Camaro is but you are looking for a locksmith who will come out and make a key for you. That way you wouldn't ever have to break the steering column to swipe the car. Right? Maybe you can find one but I think you can just have it stolen for maybe $150 or so. Depends on whether or not you are in Chicago.

    Depends on where you live; Here in rural Tx., it would be ABOUT $40.00 ! (Total ). Next time, get a spare key fron ACE; ( $2.00 ) !

    I had a new ignition put in my 2000 caravan for about $100.

    It had been stolen. Why they would want an old thing like that IDK.

    Can you replace the ignition? can you drive it to a shop?
