Hi all.
My daughter has a 2007 cx-9. She called me from Paducah (I'm in Corbin) Ky and she managed to break off the metal part of her one and only key fob in the ignition.
She tried to start it by turning by the little piece that was sticking out, but no luck. I assume it must be attached to the fob part?
Anyhow, she got thru to the dealer late Sat afternoon and they're telling her she'll have to have the vehicle towed there for them to program another key.
As bad as that is, they also say their only tech that can do this is out all next week.
She just moved there this fall and started her first "straight out of college" high school teaching job. She knows no one there.
Is there any other option for her?
Thanks in advance.

 

Google mobile locksmiths in the area & see if any are automotive.

 

A good local locksmith should be able to get her going, and for half what the dealership will charge.

 

You guys were right. Local locksmith got her going for $60
Thanks for the replies.

A locksmith was a much better option than what would have happened in my household. My wife would have sent me Paducah to drive her to work.

 

Are you sure about it because i am also in same problem and i will surely go for having emergency locksmith service if the price is comparatively less than the dealer.

 

I would try the locksmith first. They handle this issue far more often than an dealer. The dealer will need the car delivered to them where the locksmith can fix it where it is.

 

Can you tell me the exact cost charged by a locksmith for that work?

 

Thanks I would definitely get one from the locksmith.
