Scotty. Well done sir. Your hardworking smarts and quick whits remind me of my grandfather. Keep up the great work and never change who you are my friend. I look forward to your videos I have watched them all.
thanks for the support!
thanks scotty taught me alot from your videos and save me alot of money again thank you keep up the great work
Scotty can you do a video on clad wheels? I have a 2013 ford edge and I have a wheel hoop, I thought I had a bad shock, Turned out to be dirt build up behind the cladding that through the wheel out of balance. What are your thoughts on clad wheels?
Thanks, I was actually going to go to the dealer. I didn’t know this was an alternative. 😲
I am at Toyota right now getting my oil change and I can hear the sales person telling a customer that it will cost 589 bucks to replace a key fob. I decided to look it up on RUclips and came across this video! I told the customer about the locksmith while we were outside. He thanked me and walked away. Thank you Scotty!
Did he buy you a coffee at least.
@@republica13 he sucked em off lol!
Good on you for helping a guy out.
Locksmiths tried with my Camry but couldn't. I had to go to a dealer.
This video is over 2 years old and saved me about $400 from going to the stealership.
Thanks Scotty!
lol "stealership"
@@mpoohda9474 I Uesd 911Fix KeyASAP
@@angiewise Yes , I use them too everything is cheaper with them
What is your profile pic supposed to be?
This video is *5 Years Old* & Scotty is still a savage. Buffoon Locksmiths *hate him!* Watch this video to *find out why!*
Thank you for supporting mom and pop locksmith shops. Support small Business.
You would pay more to use a "mom & pop"? Why? At a big box, the money still goes to people, but less of it comes out of your pocket.
@@Nehmo probably because mom & pop shops can specialize way deeper into subsets of keys
YEP Pretty nice that he tells people this, because people like me who did not know this, just go to Dealership and they sure don't tell you that they are charging you way over what you can get one made for by a local bonded locksmith who has the codes and equipment to make one.
Gosh...and the dealers will also scare you and say that you will be sorry if you don't get OEM keyfobs.
@@Nehmo those big box stores cannot always cover the new modern prox keys or bladed keys. License locksmiths like in Texas and other states have to have continued education to maintain their License. Small mom and pop shops supply keys that are better quality with a guarantee.
I have been a locksmith since 1981. Thanks for giving us a decent referral!
I have a 2003 Honda oddysse and they wanna charge me $170 and have me tow my car there
Mikey Selenis check around for a more reasonable price.
Is it hard to program for keyless Cadillac SRX??? I was only given one key at dealership.
that's why "old school" key is still the best
except when a crook jams a skrew-driver into the ignition
Sometimes, leaving your car outside is your only option.
yea, except for the fact that you will need to take some anti theft measures because a simple key has zero theft protection. A kill switch, alarm and steering wheel club.
Kurk You are so right! Thanks to these new-fangled keys and keyless systems, car theft is now a thing of the past. NOT!! Do you honestly think that crooks can't defeat these new systems? I notice that cars are still being stolen. In fact, my neighbor's brand new car ( with keyless ignition) was stolen just last week! I don't care what they come up with, thieves will always be able to defeat them.
Of course professional thieves will still get what they want. The chips at least stop joy-riders and amateurs from getting in, which make up the majority of crooks.
Was overwhelmed and stressed by my current key situation and scammy dealership. Scotty's informational shouting made me feel better haha and was quite educational thank you
...🤣🤗 I hear you.
Just wondering...Did you finally get things resolved with sleezy dealership
Another option to check first is Lowe's or Home Depot. I was going to pay a couple hundred bucks for an additional transponder key cut and programmed at a locksmith, but recently I was at Lowe's shopping around and asked them at the key center if they duped these type keys and sure enough they did. They had this huge computerized key machine and did it in a couple of minutes. Cost me $75 and works like a charm.
so it didn't need to be programmed to the car?
@@Steven-uv8lc As long as you still have the original key/fob in good working condition, they can program the new key from your existing key. If the first key is lost or damaged, then your stuck with a bonded locksmith or the dealer.
What car was that for?
The "key" to saving money-is watching Scotty's video's
Today I called my local locksmith he made two chip keys $50 each and two keys just to unlock the car for $2 each
Holy molly. Wish I had a locksmith like this in our town.
Cheapest transponder key that has laser cut switchblade type one (for my 20015 Ford Fusion) was $170
AWESOME!!! YES!!!$$$
The locksmith here said he can't make a key for me. Nobody understands why he won't.
Where? Ill go.
$175
As an automotive locksmith I approve!!!! Your so correct we charge way less than the dealers!!!
Why is that? Is thr quality if work not as good? Warranty?
@@joejoemartinez6059 depends on the locksmith I warranty my work. Quality is exactly the same were just not trying to rip people off like service departments. My recommendation is use a licensed locksmith, with positive online reviews
Do you happen to be in Texas?
Yet still charge too much!
@3nertia that's your opinion, but we're in business to make a good living, so if I'm saving my customers hundreds of dollars, don't worry about my profit margins
I could take a chemistry class with this guy as the teacher and enjoy it just because of his voice
This is absolutely the best way to do it. I have a 2009 Corolla, and I decided I wanted to make some spares since I only have one key for it. I got two spares from Amazon for $30, and I found a traveling locksmith who was able to cut and program them for $100 total, so now I have three keys total.
Scotty, you have saved me thousands of dollars over the years, I honestly appreciate the time and effort you put into your work and videos.
2:25 "...some of them are complete buffoons..." Love it.
I was a locksmith for 11 years. Scotty is 100 percent right!
Good tips. Leave it to car company's to take something as simple as a key and complicate the hell out of it. Thanks for the video.
Steve Vento Inmovilizers makes sense, keyfob does not.
It's not really the complexity that is the problem its the $$$$.
getting new keys made for a car should cost nowhere near 500 or even 200
If someone really wants to steal your car they will, key or no.
Steve Vento Yeah, it worked well for my neighbor. Brand new car with keyless ignition, stolen right out of his driveway.
"Leave it to car company's to take something as simple as a key and complicate the hell out of it."
These are "improvements." Meanwhile, my '87 starts, runs, drives, and gets me there just like the new ones.
Surprise? No.
Don’t listen to Scotty, he’s only been a mechanic for 50 years... get someone with experience!
Justin Hirmiz Yeah don't go to Scotty. Go to someone with atleast 100 years of experience.
Justin Hirmiz i am agree !!!!...
His comment was a jest
Yeeee, find someone in graveyards with 150 years experience ☠
That's right, 50 years of experience is just not enough.
Just got a Hyundai 2014, and they had one key fob. I had them get me another before we finalized the deal. Glad we did!
You can get them cheap on eBay; I've gotten a few for far less than a dealership wants.
My locksmith connected his programmer to my Ford Ranger and in less than 2 minutes had my new key programed. Cost me $85.
I bought a car used, had only one key. Insurance had a "lose your key and we make a new one free" service added to an extra, which was like 1$ extra per month.
I got a new key done at the dealership on day 1, insurance paid fully for it. xD
Scotty is the MAN!! I bought two OEM 2013 Chrysler 300 keyless fobs on Ebay and got them BOTH programmed for $40 at my locksmith. Thank you!!!
How did you get them programmed? Where do you go to do that?
Just had a dealership tell me it would be be 800 dollars to replace and reprogram a key for my rav 4. (Thanks, Mulle Toyota in KC, MO.)
What a ridiculous scam.
This video is awesome.
Haha I love his energy. It’s like he talks in all caps. I love it! 😄🙌🤩🔥
All the dislikes of this video are car dealers!
And locksmiths. Do not call us with your junk internet keys.
🤣🤣🤣
All the more reason to give it a like. Plus we always learn something useful.
Or maybe it's people who aren't saving any money off of anything he said in this video. What did he tell you anybody any different than what they already know? It was said go to a lot Smith instead of the dealership that's common sense for most people but what about when the locksmith cost is just as much as the car dealership like in my case? So therefore no it's not just car dealers that are disliking this video if people who did not find any of the information in it relevant!!
@@TM-ur7wy Hi T M....I shouldn't buy from internet? Should I order directly from Honda instead?
Scotty I had no idea locksmiths could program car keys. Only thought stealerships could.
SOME can. They have to have the software to program the fob.
I love how I can go to Walmart and get my 95 Miata key copied for $3.
MIATA = Make it a topless afternoon
Really I have a 2016 Ford fiesta I wonder if they could make me a delicate
He's always yelling!!! I Love Him!
My ex wife did the same, hated her...
Hey Scotty love your videos. This is exactly what I told someone who bought a used car with only one key. My advice was ignored. Scotty you just validated everything I said to this person who brought a used car. Down the road if they lose the key then they will understand, better make an extra one now. Scotty do you read your comments.?
Great video im an automotive locksmith myself and i work with dealership daily 75% of dealerships will end up getting their locksmith to cut your key anyways
Some good advice. I had one of my keys stolen for a 2011 Mazda. The dealer wanted $270 for it. I just got a chipped key that did everything except remote unlocking and it was $167. So I used my 2nd FOB and used this key as a emergency spare. Also, RockAuto sells OEM key fobs for about 40-50% less than the dealer. Then just pay for the programming at a modern lock smith.
When I bought my daughter her car it only had 1 key but since I had to travel by ferry to take the car to her I decided to buy one when I arrived big mistake, the key fob was damaged and the car wouldn't read the immobiliser and it cut out at the traffic lights pouring down with rain and we had to push it to the roadside,luckily I'd spotted a garage not far from where my daughter lived they diagnosed the problem and told me that the mobile locksmith was coming to the garage a couple of days later and he would cut and program the key for me and it would be quicker than going to the dealership,well he did it for a fraction of the dealership price I got an honest mechanic like Scotty to work on my daughters car 🚗 and it took a lot of worry off me so win win all round, so guys shop around there are honest mechanics out there
Go Scotty, I might add that remote starters will also bypass the chip system in most cases where as you can make a new key normally and it still works. Keep making vids Scotty we love ya brother!
Man, I’m glad I found your channel. You’re a real life saver.
Locksmith here. VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure you get a final price over the phone. However if your key isn't turning in a lock or ignition, we may need to come out to assess whether it's the key being worn out or mis-cut or the lock failing, yet we can still give you estimates based on what we think the issues may range from and confirm them again in person before we put any tools to your vehicle. If you feel like you're being pressured, you're talking to someone at a call center, or they say they have to send the locksmith out and they only give you the trip cost, that's likely a scammer. They are all over the states and they get leads from call centers who get commission for referring these alleged locksmiths. The supposed locksmiths they send out charge whatever they want when they get there. It's best to familiarize yourself with a local locksmith before you need them in an emergency and get pressured into letting them send a guy out.
If you have any questions, I can try to answer them as best as possible or point you in the right direction.
antac55 how do you find a good locksmith?
@@berniemac8413 check around your local area. There is probably a place that's been in the area for years that you see in passing but never utilized. If they're still open for business it's a good sign. Then look up reviews on line and such.
Antac55 Thank you for this, very much appreciated!!
Thank you ,you suport pirst locksmiths lokal
2002 Toyota avalon 3.0l v6 xls with TOY43AT4 (C4) chip. When I bought the car it only came with the valet key and the dealership says the only solution is a new ECM, immobilizer, ignition switch and matching keys, but Toyota has discontinued them. Any suggestions? I'm located about 2 hours from Houston, TX, but willing to travel.
The algorithm at work . Just yesterday I was talking with my neighbor about key s, fobs , chips and the nightmare that can ensue if lost . Good info Scotty .
Thank you Scotty , we need more good guys like you in this world ,
great tip that no one talks about
You're the best Scotty - LOVE your videos! Thank you once again...
Thanks and Blessings Scotty!!!
So true, had to go to Lowes department store with a coding key making machine. And the stealer ship wanted $390.
I paid $45 at Lowes.
Only in America 😉
America Sucks!
Which country in America was that?
Raven 21 your saying that Lowe’s can do this ? A keyless entry key ?
Yeah, Scotty gave totally wrong advice. If the key (including chip) can be duplicated at Walmart of Lowe's, that's where to go, NOT a locksmith. And his system of evaluating locksmiths is a cop-out too. Video get a thumb down.
@@torynnlancelotte3144 America doesn't suck. Your avatar does
$283.50 vs $567. Strange how that’s exactly half. Love you’re channel.
Scotty is the truth anyone who disagrees works at the dealership
Scotty, as usual you saved me money with this one...! I bought a 2002 Sebring used car and wanted a second key for my wife. Dealer quoted me $267 to make a new key. I found one on amazon for $8, cost me $4 to get the key cut, and $67 for the dealer to program the key. Total cost was $79 for the new key. Now since I have 2 keys for the ignition, I can easily add more by myself by only paying for the key and to get it cut. I saved almost $200! thanks big time!
There is a video on how to program it yourself...easy
I lost my key at a Six Flags and called a locksmith (who’s business card was right there in the Lost & Found) and drove out to the parking lot and in his van, not only made a new key but also programmed the chip so that I could start my key. Amazing stuff.
This guy is funny and cool, I love his videos 😂
Once again great info, thanks Scotty !
Every tip and advice thing I have followed from Scotty has never failed me and I have saved much $$$. THANKS!
I actually bought a mini vci cable that hooks my laptop up to the OBD port for my 2010 corolla off amazon for 20 bucks came with the software and i was able to program my own key and delete the old one, I was also able to change various settings like how long my internal light stays on after opening the door, if i want the doors to unlock when i put the car in park and run diagnostics read data from all sensors, codes etc.
Kenneth Colon that's genius
Hey, smart man, Kenneth. Gawd I'm even leary of opening the hood on 2000+ vehicles. And I, woman, have done tune-ups, master brake cyls and rebuilt carbs on older Dodges & Chevys. (some things were just too dirty or heavy to do, ie oil changes, switch engines/trannies)
Do have the link for that product on amazon? What cars can it program?

Buy from ebay 19 bucks
Your the best Scotty, I always enjoy your helpful and informative video's my friend, please keep them coming.
I truly enjoy watching Scotty's video information even if I've seen it before I even I watch it multiple times
Love what you do Scotty keep it up
Got a key for my Lincoln for $22.00 on Ebay and had a local Ace hardware that had the equipment to cut and code the key and only charged $5.00.
Scotty you rule man
Thank you
Thanks Scotty, need to have one made. Will look for a good locksmith that can do it right, and save a lot of money. Your the best.
Thank you so much Scotty!! YOU ARE THE BEST
Love your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, good sir!

Everyone's Guide to Buying a Used Car and Car Maintenance Nov 14, 2017
by Scotty Kilmer
As a former bonded locksmith & current independent tech, I totally agree with Scotty. Save your money & support you local locksmiths. Most will advertise their capibilities but only support licensed/certified (by the state in which you live) I will be certified/licensed in NC in 2018.
Most local locksmiths that work on automotive DO have a the capability to make chipped or proximity keys.
They can save you a lot of money and a lot of hassle if you go to a good locksmith.
You'd be surprised, most locksmiths usually always beat the dealer or local hardware store prices, and it never hurts to shop around and find out if they're cheaper or not. If you ever need it theres no obligation to just call and ask a price.
Mel's Mobile Mechanic what does "bonded" locksmith means. Not American so don't get the reference
What City are you in? I am in NC. I have two keys I need made. I have the blanks but very few lock smiths in the Hickory, NC area...
I need a new key made as well (Greensboro, NC).
Scotty you are great. Totally truthful and knowledgeable. Was am a senior who was a mechanic when I was young. Became a successful contractor and was stupid enough to buy a 2007 Mercedes S600 for $153K. Sold after 6 years at a 73% loss not including repairs. Buy used. Did you say Toyota, yes a 1998 Camry. My neighbors thought I lost my money. I told them, I just listen to Scotty
Scotty. I love your show and I will never negative you. I watched your fix-a-flat video, and thought since my tires were ok (like yours) I put some in to stop the rim leak. Well it gave my car a terrible shimmy, and it cost a lot to have the fix a flat removed from my car. However. I am not mad because you saved me 100s with all your advice. The 100 bucks I am out because of repairs because I used fix a flat is no big deal, but I know how you like to save ppl money. in a emergency use it, but to correct a leaky rim. replace the rims, or just add air when needed. Maybe the old stuff worked, but the new stuff doesn't as far as long term. As always love your videos, and HAPPY ANNY!
Thanks for the tip Scott. Could never have too many keys ;)
Not all locksmiths can make keys for the new model cars, They have to have expensive equipment and access to programming codes.
Scotty, your aces. Having turned wrench’s for a lot of years and a Dr. degree in Common sense. I can say your information is extremely valuable to Joe and Jane driver. Here is a tip you may know about.
With the remote fabs transmitting a signal and all the scum bags using technology to steal cars today, if you wrap your fab in aluminum foil while not using it ( like when you go into the store or just away from the vehicle) it stops the signal and thieves that carry signal receivers in their pockets can’t get the wireless codes to steal your vehicle. Thumbs up to you sir.
Going to a locksmith sometimes has its issues as well, usually only one guy knows how, and they don’t do them often so, they may forget and things may take more time. Prices tend to be higher than other places as well. The best place perhaps to go is to find tow services that has locksmith services “Lock and tow.” Some will charge a flat price for as many keys made. So check around and then buy more than one set on eBay. My place charged $64 to cut two keys, program two keys and two remotes to open and close the door locks. All four were bought online for $15. I was quoted $200 at one locksmith. The place I went to also said that in her experience over the years, greater than 95% of the eBay keys worked if you buy from a reputable seller. Thanks Scotty for putting this video up. Saved me a ton.
Scotty's the man!
To be honest I do miss the old intro, but this one seems alot more professional and simple while still keeping to its old ways
Thank you Scotty, just ordered another key with chip and found a locksmith who can program my car to recognize my new key.
Absolutely Scotty!! Thanks
Dammit Scotty, another video bout having common sense! I love it! 😂
This local smith cloned a key immobilizer and gave me a second fob for 85 bucks where the dealership wanted 250 for the key alone!!
"cloned" your key? is your key alive?
Doing so much good Scotty Kilmer ✊
Thank you Scotty. I currently have two, but if I lost one I wouldn't have thought about going to the locksmith and having a second one made. Good to know!
Make sure the locksmith is reputable. Also he has to have the software or access to the software to program the key/fob
I've seen a good number of your videos, and scratch my head on "who" would give you any "Thumbs Downs"?? ...ok, maybe only the dishonest mechanics & car sales folks ;)) Keep up the great work Scotty!
Went to my local locksmith today and they had key fobs and programmed it... Both for $60
GREAT PRICE.
Scotty, I love your style. You tell it like it is.
A bought a nice flip key fob X7 BMW style for my 05 G35 Coupe for $35 on eBay. Took it to my locksmith at the flea market who charged me $65 to cut and program key and bang all for a total of $100 dollars! Can’t beat that! Great video!
Honestly these videos are not only entertaining but you can really learn from them. Like Scotty said beware the bafoons who try to rip you off!
How do you know that I was looking an answer to this question? Beneficial video. Thank you :)
glad to hear it, thanks!
Wow I live your videos. Useful info and u pretty much get right to the point. Keep em coming pal..
Great informative video, Scotty! Thank you
This is very helpful thx Scotty!
I went to homedepo after buying a blank key from amazon ($8.00) and they cut it for free and I followed the instructions for programing a key in the manual in the Canadian section (2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP)
I once went to Home Depot to get a regular key cut and it took them 4 tries and never made one that worked. This was back in the days when it was done by hand and the idiots didn't even use the correct key blanks. Guess that's why it's all automated now.
Yup. I did the same
Thanks Scotty for that good solid advice.👍
Scotty, thank you for your tips. My key no longer works coming from the dealer. Can you help explain
what happened to it?
Good to know. I didn't know locksmiths could do this for me.
One more reason I love my rwd redblock volvos...I get keys cut for $2 at the local hardware store.
Your such a life saver. Thank You!!!!
Thanks! Good advice!
Take a shot every time that Scotty says locksmith!
Rev up your Locksmiths!
Savage Scotty not paying people for their time never gets old haha
Scotty saves the day once again!
Thanks Scotty!
Scotty, you are always on warp drive!! Thanks for being so vigilant for us simpleton earthlings on these matters!!!
James the bonded locksmith got my fob program all sneaky like
Excellent video! Thanks Scotty!
Thank you! That’s exactly the info I was looking for. 👍
