What makes some car and/or motorcycle keys so expensive to make?
Vehicle security like everything else is constantly evolving. Most late model vehicles are now equipped with a type of anti-theft system called transponders. Some vehicles don’t even use a conventional key and lock system, but instead use an electronic key fob. In order to program these types of keys / fobs we as locksmiths have to invest in the equipment and training to generate working keys / fobs for these vehicles. Also, the key blanks and fobs themselves are a lot more expensive than your standard metal key blank.
