Last Friday I drove to our dealer and had 3 keys made with no request for ID or anything, the service guy walked to my H3 wrote down the VIN and made me the keys no questions asked. I will be blocking my number today after reading this post today.

That is not unusual, and is a lot different than walking in cold, without a vehicle. However, I still say, it does not hurt to cover the last six digits (actual serial number) of the VIN with at least a business card (accidently thrown on the dash ).

Too many crooked people in this world, and it gets harder and harder to steal a vehicle due to passkey type systems that are BCM controlled. That is one reason why they say car/truck jackings are up. So, my opinion is, why take a chance.

Keys made at the dealer?? What did that cost? $150? My stealer wanted $50 ea. I went to a locksmith and got two for $1.50 each!! I guess since I was driving it and had a key he figured it must be mine.

I had to check on other things as well so I just had them made there, I got the ones with the GM logo so they were only 17.00ea .

Today they are replacing the fuel tank pressure sensor (something like that), it was out the day I bought it new and the part just came in.
