lost key
Buddy with an S13 lost his key, and instead of paying like a hundred bucks for a locksmith, we had heard a rumor that if you took the VIN number to a dealership, they could cut you a new key. Just wondering, trying to save him a few bucks.

went to google and found this:

urban legend aside, it seems that yes, your idea might work. I'm guessing all they need is proof of ownership along with an ID.
good luck

check to see if the car insurance provides certain road side services. My insurance services provides jimmying the car (for leaving keys on the car, etc). Even if its not free, it still might be cheaper than the locksmith.
