Been quoted a key fob and programming for £220?

Seems a bit bloody steep to me, dealer said they had a ruck of price rises at the start of April?

Anyone have any thoughts?

The fob is 140ish, plus 45 labour to program. (+VAT)

Cheers

Well my local MB dealer wanted £250 for a new key for my previous Merc.  2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

Some insurance companies will pay for a lost or stolen key, or you can usually take out a seperate policy for under £20.  Spud

my local dealer,I'm not sure if that was a good price but the local Indy
was only a tenner cheaper, 4 x Freelander 1's long gone

Where are you mate and what year is your car?

£110 plus vat is a good price but it does depend on what year as they do vary. 16 model year yulong white autobiography

No problem on 2006 the key is pre coded so has to come from the dealer. I'm in stockport and can code it in for you for £45.00 plus vat if it will be any help for you. 16 model year yulong white autobiography

That's about the same as the dealer tbh mate, but thanks for the offer.

I may as well bend over, lube up and get it all done with in one hit.

haha no worries mate bizarrely if its a 2010 onwards with the proximity key I can do them for about £130 but the earlier ones with the black flip key can't be done other than with a key from the dealer. 16 model year yulong white autobiography
