Honda Civic Key Replacement Cost (2003 – 2019)

 

How Much Does It Cost To Replace A Honda Civic Key?

The cost to replace a Honda Civic key varies between $95 to $145 on average and this includes the cost of the key as well as the cut and programming. Doing it at your local locksmith (nowadays you can find locksmiths that have the equipment to program the key as well) might be slightly cheaper than doing it at a dealership so it is best to shop around. Also, in some cases a Honda dealership might refuse to cut keys if you don’t purchase it from them, so you might want to inquire about that although this isn’t really an issue as you can get it cut at a locksmith.

Subaru Forester Windshield Replacement Cost (1997 – 2019)

The cost to replace a windshield for a Subaru Forester varies greatly between a local mechanic and a dealer and it is usually around $400 to $500 more expensive at a dealership than at your local mechanic or at Safelite. The replacement cost, in general, is more for Forester cars from 2014 onwards that have the Eyesight safety system as there is an extra cost associated with the recalibration of the cameras used for the Eyesight system. Recalibration is said to be required because there is a possibility that the new glass that is being fitted might not have the same refractive index as that of the one you are replacing and also there is a possibility that the camera might have been nudged while fitting the new glass. Some people do say that they have found Eyesight to work absolutely fine even without re-calibration but it is probably better to get it done unless you are really sure that the new glass being fitted is exactly like your original one or the camera has not been moved out of its original place.
