My dad works at Home Depot and they have the machine to program chipped keys. they get 70 bucks to do a key. I have the same issue as I only have one key.
Thats atleast a lil cheaper?!

I don't know about Ace Hardware but the Walmart in my town Cuts and programs the chipped key. They some how read the program of the existing key. I'm told it works. I personally havn't tried it.
