How to Make Spare Keys for a Dodge Magnum

Creating spare keys for your Dodge Magnum does not have to be a nightmare either financially or logistically. There are a few simple steps you can follow to make purchasing copies for your car easier and more economical than ordering new ones from the dealership. Just be careful to use a professional for whatever your car's needs might be. Keys can be obtained in a matter of hours if you know who to call and what to ask.

  • Call your local Dodge dealership and ask for a repair technician. Ask them how much they charge for copies to your Dodge Magnum. Take note of the price, thank them for their time and then compare prices with an automotive locksmith.

  • Inform an automotive locksmith that you have found through a professional organization that you need copies for your Dodge Magnum. There is a price difference between getting an original and a copy, so make sure you specify that is what you need. Usually, copies are half price of the originals.

  • Consider buying your key copies off the internet through an online key dealer. You can use a reputable dealer such as Auto Transponder or Omega Locksmiths. Be sure and ask the automotive locksmith or the dealership if they will cut a key at a discount rate or if they will cut a key purchased from online. Some dealerships and locksmiths -- especially in large metropolitan areas -- will not cut a key purchased online for security reasons.
