    Lost my keys

    I lost my keys. I just called the dealership, they said its gonna cost 150 bucks to replace a key because of a immobilizer on the key and they have to program it. 150 bucks + towing seems like alot for a key. can a mobile locksmith do this for cheaper?? This seriously blows cuz i have my kid with me and i doubt the tow truck has a spot for the baby seat. help me out!! IM STRANDED!!
