Re: re-keying a car?
My wife (certified locksmith) said $60 per lock/ignition and probably $65 for the key if you go to a locksmith.. Locksmiths will get the keys cheaper then you can get them form Honda. Call Tweeds.

Re: re-keying a car?
I would recomend Eric's Lock and Key. He is mobile and does all the work for our lot. Not sure if what the price is since he does most of our GM's yours could be different. He is very good at what he does and a cool guy. Give him a call at 757-523-4300 tell him zach from the auto connection told you to call.

+1
if it were say, a 92 honda civic, than it would be cheap and fairly easy. but on a vehicle that would have an encoded key and being the car you have, id say, just make sure you have full coverage and drvie that ish. chances are, if someone just "found" your key, they will never find out which EXACT car it goes to and they would have to be willing to commit grand theft, which is also very unlikely.

Re: re-keying a car?
Meaning they take the locks apart and reposition/replace the pins.. Its cheaper. Then they make a new key to fit. Don't call a mobile lock smith. They charge a fee just to come to you. Usually $50-$65, on top of whatever labor and parts. Go to Tweeds in Portsmouth.

Re: re-keying a car?
tl;dr thread.
If you're concerned about someone breaking into your car, get some sort of aftermarket alarm with key-less entry/security and even if someone has a key that opens doors/locks/trunk; alarm still goes off.
So, hopefully that would deter theft.
Just a bit of advice to hopefully help.
