1997 Honda civic, lost my car keys, what should I do? should I go to the dealer?

Thats the only way. Next time give a copy to a trusting relative.

don't go to the dealer...call a locksmith

go to the dealer and get a Extra copy and copy that copy always have 3 extras

Get a dent puller and put a screw in the end. screw it into the ignition and rip it out. Pull out all the pins and slide it back in. Now every key works.

Go to the dealership and be sure to take a copy of the registration (it has the VIN number on it, and that's the number they need to get the correct key). They should be able to give you the correct key. When you get it, ask the dealership if the key has a microchip in it. If it does, you'll have to get ALL your keys from the dealer and they'll have to be coded before you can use them in your car. If it doesn't have a microchip, you can just get one key from the dealership and get copies made at your local hardware store.

yes, go to the dealer..you will need the VIN number off the car, and they will be able to cut you a new set of keys

Locksmith usually is much cheaper than going to the dealer. You might want to call both and compare though. In addition, locksmith should be able to make you a key in about 5 minutes where as dealer may take at least two weeks to order the key.

try calling the dealer and call some lock smith's,and let them give you a qoute to get a replacement key..because sometimes the dealer will charge more for the key then a lock smith will

GO TO THE LOCKSMITH HE WILL COME OUT AND CUT YOU ONE OR TWO NEW KEYS CHEAPER THAN GETTING A NEW SET OFF YOUR VIN NO FROM THE DEALER.
