Driver Door Keyhole Replacement
Hello
I have a 2023 Honda Odyssey Elite. Unfortunately, someone attempted to break into the car while it was in the camp area. Fortunately, they couldn't get inside, but they did leave some damage around the keyhole and a small dent/scratch near the lock. I visited a Honda service center to inquire about replacing the latch. The person at the parts counter informed me that they could replace the cylinder, but it would result in a separate key, not compatible with my current car remote. I'm not keen on having an extra key. To explore the possibility of changing the latch/cylinder while retaining the existing car remote functionality, I consulted with the labor parts specialist. They mentioned that they would need to examine the car with a $165 deposit, after which they could provide a detailed quote for the repair. Since the cost is lower than my insurance deductible, I'd prefer to pay for it out of pocket. Any suggestions or ideas on how to address this issue without getting extra keys? Additionally, I'd appreciate any estimate of how much it might cost me.
PS: The door lock and unlock function, both by pressing the button and using the car remote keys, works fine.
