Spare Volvo Key - £360!
Discussion
Hi all. In their infinite wisdom somebody decided that they would dispose of both sets of spare keys for my 01 S60 (no, it wasn't me...). Anyhow, I now need a set of keys and remote for the car just in case the only set I have go missing...
Have just been quoted a minimum of £360 by Lipscomb Volvo, Maidstone. I was wondering if anybody out there knows of any indies that can replace Volvo keys.
Cheers

Just stinks of being a nice money making scam for the dealerships. There is absolutely no way on earth, taking into account ALL the time the dealers would need to do this, and the materials, that the job costs that much to do.
It costs less for most garages to do a clutch or a cam belt FFS.

I think that Timpsons or similar should be able to cut a generic key and then "clone" your immobiliser transponder for a fraction of that.
Don't think they'll be able to do anything about the alarm fob though...
Apparently not according to a lot of the Volvo specfic forums I go on. What's more Volvo have you by the balls and directly control the supply of keys... Don't think they'll be able to do anything about the alarm fob though...
