Key FOB...hhr SS

Hi, was uo at the dealership and they said a new key FOB for my 2008 SS was $140 and $40 to install. That is ridiculous. Does anyone know who sells these for a cheaper price?

Thanks in advance!

what's wrong with your fobs??? If the carbon contacts are worn(usually you have to push really hard on the buttons for them to work), there is an easy fix....I don't know how handy you are, but this fix worked really well for me

IMO, just take it to the dealer and pay them.

In my other Chev...
I wasted alot of $ & effort fixing my fobs, and they hardly last long enough to make it worthwhile. Sent it off for repair once, and tried the pads myself also. Then added a whole new (off brand) keyless system - that constantly sets off the alarm system.

Next time I just just pay them, plus your quoted price was better than I was quoted.

Father in law got some fobs from ebay, not sure of the site but cheap plastic and I dropped the key and it chipped the whole front off which now if im not careful the fob opens up. Kinda annoyed but I did not pay for it. He gets free programming and I think he paid very little so no big deal.

But I will be checking Remote Supermarket next time around for a pair.

Yeah eBay. I bought mine for $35 on eBay. My dealer (Youngs in Owosso, MI) changed my ignition at the same time, programed my FOB and 3 keys for only $16.00. My eBay FOB is fine and works great, even remote start.
