Where can I get a spare key for £60 plus labour?

08 Volvo 2.00 petrol.

Thanks again for the advice and any info.

sorry i didnt realise you needed the metal slide in key .
how much did they quote for the fob alone ?
labour is officialy 18 mins there is only one software operation ... you might ask why they charge you twice the labour .. unless part of that is key cutting , they can order the key already cut rememmber .

anyway as stated above its the going rate ..

The thing to bear in mind is that the Volvo dealer will, while reprogramming the new and exisiting key, cancel the ability of the missing key to work within this (very big) charge

So long as you have a car with a missing key someone has the ability to steal it until your dealer zaps it

But please ask more than one Volvo dealer for a quote. They do vary
