For ZIP 90201, say whether you still have one working key or every key is gone. Making a spare from a working transponder is a different job from an all-keys-lost replacement that may require vehicle access, a new blade, and programming.

Include the year, make, model, ignition type, and where the car is parked. If it is behind an apartment gate or in tight street parking, mention that too. Ask whether the quote covers the key blank, cutting, chip programming, remote programming, and service call.
