I recently needed a second key made for my Daughter's 2003 VW New Beetle. I called around to several businesses and found that it was very expensive to have a laser cut key with transponder made. I first called around to the local dealerships and then to a few other businesses in the area that specialize in making keys. Both the dealerships as well as the other business explained to me that the process of creating and programming the key took a lot of work. In fact, the dealerships charge an hour of labor to program the key. My brother gave me the idea to call a locksmith and I did. I call Busse's Lock Service. It was my first experience with them. I told them what I needed. They made the key for me in minutes. Yes minutes on an hour. And, it was at half the cost of the other businesses quoted me.
