Tin Locksmith in OC.

corner of Euclid and Westminster. He's got a small little hut you call a shop.

He gave me a blank key and cut it for my car for $25? or so.

60 bucks to cut a car key is ridiculous.

ur best bet is to either find a small car dealership that sells cars with the type of key we have. they usually have a key cutter for our type of keys. other then that try to look up a lock smith or something along those lines for the best deal.

He got me a good deal on my 98+ keys for my SC. He also cut a spare blank for 20 bucks last time I was there.
