Default Lost car keys - UPDATE

This is probably the most annoying thing to deal with ever! Lost my keys and cant find my second set... I drive a 2001 Honda civic with one of those stupid chip keys. I called the dealership and they said my only option is to tow the car to the dealership so they can replace the key that way using their computer to program me a new one. Is this my only option?


Well folks I've been through hell and back the tow truck came to my house only an hour later then when he said he'd be there forcing me to call the dealership and say I was gonna be there at 4:00 instead of 3:30 for my appointment which is already cutting it close. He then proceeds to try and unlock my car to put it in neutral however he couldn't figure out how to jimmy the lock for at least 20 minutes. Finally switches to the driver side and gets it to open. Now the car is in the garage which I was praying to god wouldn't cause an issue but of course it did. We had the car in neutral but the steering wheel was locked and as we reversed the car out it became apparent that there was no way it wasn't going to hit the edge of the garage. So now I have to call a locksmith to make a copy of my key to unlock the wheel. Which estimated to cost upwards of $165 and then call the tow truck again and then go to the dealership and blow another $200 this has been an absolute god damn ####ing nightmare.
