Default New spare key for my 2002 FE S8 - Audi Stealers

Checked several mobile auto locksmiths if they could cut & code a spare remote key for me. E.mailed four different Companies and not one replied.
Rang two others who stated it was Audi Dealer purchase only.
So I went to Audi Guildford for a quote.
Their initial quote was for £246.31
They stated this was special order that I had to pay for it in advance. If it could not be coded I would still own the key as they would not take it back. After a little negotiation I managed to get a discount of 7.5%, bringing it down to £228.13.
I still felt this was high, with no guarantee, so decided to check out other mobile auto locksmiths.
Eventually I found a guy quite local to me who agreed he could do it for £110 all in. He came to me, spent approx 45 mins sorting everything out, with 100% success.
Do not believe people or Stealer when they say its a dealer purchase only. It can be done if the locksmith has the right tools.
Happy Days
