$104 for a spare key?
I have had my Mazda 2001 Miata for 9 years now. I was a member of the New York Hudson Valley Miata club, and have enjoyed riding with the group when It was active for years. I have over the years installed headers, free flow exhaust and cold air induction. I love the car.
Today I went down to Adzam Miata Bedford Rd Bedford Hills, NY and was charged $104 for a spare key. A minimum time of one hour computer time for what amounted to 15 minutes work. Is this a typical rip off? and is there anything we can do as a group to stop this.

not really much that we can do. my boss just had to get two truck re-keyed at our local shop and they charged him $250 a set. he got two keys per truck, but it still came out to $500 for a couple of lost keys. just how it goes with these kinds of keys.

Check your local hardware or locksmith store. Some of the bigger stores have a car key programmer, where they can copy/program the key/chip providing that you have an original key. I was able to get one for under $30 for 2003 Acura MDX. It took them less than 5 mins to copy one.
