Hello--
I just read through the old entries tagged "key and lock" but nothing seemed quite right, so I wanted to ask here.
Lost my keys yesterday, including the only key I had to my '94 Infiniti. Sometimes it's possible to get a key made cheaply by using the VIN, but that can be difficult with an older car. Anybody know of someone who can do that?
The other option is a locksmith, of course, and I'm prepared for that to be pricey. Can someone recommend one that does good work and is hopefully on the more affordable end of pricey?
FWIW, my key doesn't have a security chip or anything.
ETA: I don't have a key to copy, so I can't really use any recs of key-copying places.
