Google eurotech on osborne off of dale mabry in tampa. The owner is a dick but he has keys at a decent price and then take it to a dealer and get it programmed.

Sweet thats great to know considering he specifically said he had a 2002 vw golf.

Your going to have to get the car towed to the dealership, and it'll take a hot minute for them to cut the key and then program it to the car. Sucks, I spent an entire day getting this done for my ex when she lost the key to her beetle.

I called up the dealership over here in va beach and they told me it would cost 282 bucks plus tax wich is a bunch of bullshit. So that made me look hard for the key once again, i ended up finding it in the damn yard my dog must of took it out there, thanks for all the help guys, See you all back in Tampa soon!!
