SKIM module and stealership cost

[Same_j]

So I installed a skim a module and got the grey key cut out and everything. Took it to the stealership and they wanted 350 dollars. 160 an hour labor they said. So is it really a 2 hour job? That seems hard to believe that it requires over 2 hours to program the damn thing.

@mrblaine has a guy that programs them. Maybe he can tell you how much he typically charges.

What did you pay @psrivats?

Awesome! You guys are the best

Typically runs about 100 to install the SKIM module, get the PIN, and program the keys.

I paid 130, IIRC. That included getting 3 keys cut and programmed. I did install the module myself, it was very very easy.

Hey psrivats,

Thanks for the reply. This may sound dumb but just looking for direction about the skim. Where would you send the immobilizer to get reprogrammed and keys cut? Thanks again.

I installed the SKIM myself and took the Jeep to a dealership near where I live.
