The single fastest way to get an accurate price is to know which of these your vehicle uses. Two minutes here saves a phone call of guessing.
The Honda thing worth knowing
Honda is the make people are most often surprised by. Customers expect an economy-car price and get quoted the high-security number, because the blade genuinely requires the more expensive cutting equipment. It isn't a markup — it's the key.

What we do for Honda owners
Keys cut and programmed from scratch when every key is lost. Spare keys and fobs made while you wait, which is always cheaper than the emergency version of the same job. Broken blades extracted from doors, ignitions and trunks. Worn ignition cylinders repaired or replaced. Remote and fob programming when you already own the hardware.
All of it mobile, at your vehicle, anywhere within 20 miles of Los Angeles — because a car with no key cannot be driven to us anyway.
Cheapest advice in this trade: if you have exactly one working Honda key left, have a spare cut now rather than after you lose it. A spare made calmly on a Tuesday is a fraction of the price of an all-keys-lost job at midnight.
Honda keys — straight answers
How much is a replacement Honda key in Los Angeles?
Honda uses laser-cut ("sidewinder") blades across much of its range, which need a different and more expensive cutting machine. That is the honest reason these cost more than an ordinary transponder key — not the badge on the hood. Call with the year, the model, and whether you turn a key or push a button to start it — those three things are what set the price, and we will give you a firm total on the phone before anyone drives out.
I have lost every Honda key I own. Can you still help?
Yes — that is an all-keys-lost job and it is routine. We originate a new key from the vehicle itself rather than copying an existing one. It takes longer than cutting a spare, so we quote it as its own job on the phone rather than burying the difference.
Is a locksmith cheaper than a Honda dealer?
Usually yes, and the larger difference is time — a dealer typically wants the vehicle brought to them and quotes days, while we come to the car and finish on site. For Honda we originate keys in-house, so a dealer trip is not needed.
My Honda key has started sticking in the ignition. Is that the key?
Often it is not — it is the ignition cylinder wearing out, and a new key will not fix it. If the key needs a jiggle, a particular angle or two hands to turn, get it looked at before it strands you. A rebuild costs the same whether you do it now or after it fails; doing it after also costs you a tow.
What do you need from me?
Proof the vehicle is yours — registration, title or insurance in your name, plus matching photo ID. Every legitimate locksmith asks. If one does not, that tells you something worth knowing.
