* Type of key: Is it a standard key, a key fob with remote unlocking, or a key with a transponder chip (most likely for a 2002 model)? Transponder keys are significantly more expensive.
* Location: Prices vary by geographic location and the type of establishment (dealership vs. locksmith vs. auto parts store).
* Method of obtaining the key: A locksmith might be able to make a key by decoding the lock cylinder (more expensive), while a dealership might require more information or documentation.
Expect to pay anywhere from $30 to upwards of $200 or more. A basic key might fall on the lower end, while a key fob with a transponder chip will likely be on the higher end. Dealerships will usually charge the most. A locksmith might be a good middle ground in terms of price and service.
To get a more accurate estimate, I recommend:
* Contacting local locksmiths: Get quotes from several locksmiths in your area.
* Checking with auto parts stores: Some auto parts stores can cut keys, but their capabilities may be limited depending on the type of key.
* Contacting a Chevy dealership: They will likely have the most accurate pricing, but will also likely be the most expensive option.
Remember to provide the locksmith or dealership with the year, make, and model of your Camaro when requesting a quote.
