Key duplicate for 98 V70

surfbug1 · Post by **surfbug1** » 29 Jan 2025, 09:08

Ok so after mis-placing my keys one too many times, I need to make duplicate copies.

The 97 ford van was $6.99 at home depot.

The Volvo key is flat, with no chip or technology. Just a piece of metal.

The dealer wants $90, and I get a 9$ discount to $81 because im in the auto business. Showed them my business card.

Please tell me there is another way around this...can you say "stealership"?

Thanks!

Big Al

Hi Al,

Just google 1998 Volvo key blank and plenty show up on EBay, AliExpress and the likes for under $15. What you have to have is a locksmith that can cut Volvo keys as they are double sided and not everyone can do them. Modern equipment does make it easier.

Volvo dealers seem to charge different amounts for cutting this key. I was able to get one cut for about $25.

Amazon blanks were $13.73 for two.

Best I could find is 75$ to cut both keys.

Seems almost fair! Thank uuuu

I had to go to half a dozen locksmiths to find someone who had the correct machine to cut an old Volvo key. I want to say they charged me $50-60 with the key
