2018 Audi A6
Key Replacement - Dealer Quality, Half the Cost in Ventura County

2018 Audi A6 Mechanical Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Your 2018 Audi A6 key replacement costs 95 through me. The dealer wants 200 for the same job. That gap exists because the dealer has a service writer, a parts desk, a waiting room, and overhead on every square foot. I have a van and 8 years of doing this every day. My price covers the key blank, the cut, the transponder chip, and the programming. Nothing added after.

An interior designer at the wine bar patio in Via Marina neighborhood, Oxnard had been putting off getting a spare for her 2018 Audi A6 for months. She bought the car used with one flip key and kept telling herself she would handle it. She finally called the Audi dealer. They quoted 200 and said to bring the car in for a half-day appointment. She called me that evening instead.

I met her at the restaurant. I used my HU66 Lishi to decode her door lock. The HU66 Lishi is a pick and decode tool designed for the VAG keyway used across Audi and Volkswagen. It reads the wafer positions inside the lock so I can cut an exact blade without needing the original as a template. Her mechanical key with FCC ID was cut, the Megamos transponder chip was programmed through the OBD port, and everything was tested in about 35 minutes.

Total was 95. That covers the flip key blank, the blade cut, the chip programming, and me driving to a wine bar on a weeknight. No half-day appointment. No dropping the car off. Just the spare she had been putting off, done while she finished dinner.
