Default Making new key.

I went to a locksmith/key maker today and he said he couldn't make a copy of my key. I had a blank with me and told him I already have the transponder chip but he said he didn't have the necessary tools to make it. Do I need to go to a specialist?

I just need the key cut. Dealership is going to rape me with the charges.

Is there really no other way of making another master key other then paying the ridiculous 90$?

Well, I had a blank. I had to take it to a specialist for some reason. 2 hardware stores said they couldn't do it. Had to take it to a "master" lock smith. Paid $2.00, and key works fine.
