My 2009 Silverado is basically a company truck and as such no one ever knows where the keys are. Last week we were down to one functioning key and no door opener/key fobs, so I drove the 12 miles to the Chevy dealer to get them. I got a key, but they didn't have a new key fob so I had them order one.
Today parts dept called to say the key fob came in so I went to pick it up. $79 plus tax - no returns No one there would tell me how to program it, so I made an appointment to go back (another 24 mile round trip) to get it programmed by the service dept.
I came home thinking this isn't rocket science so I looked it up on line. I not only found out you can program it in about 30 seconds but also discovered you can buy these things all day long on Amazon for $20. Aaarrrrrgh!
Next time I'll do my research FIRST.
