They broke it, they should pay for it. If it is coming from the dealer, it "should" come ready to use, if not, they should be paying a locksmith to make it work.

If the key has a chip in it, it will have to be programmed to the Jeep so that the anti-theft system won't activate. They will need to take care of this.

Future posts on your Grand should be in the Grand Cherokee section. Thank you.

You need to have the vehicle and the key to program it

Sounds like they owe you an original-style key and a detail.

Don't use them again if you're unhappy with the service.

I would be unhappy.

Over here, we have a choice as to who we have do the work. At least my insurance does that.

I am not all that familiar with an '08 Grand, but the key will probably be supplied by Jeep. Then have to be programmed to your vehicle.

Have you posted on the Grand Cherokee side like I suggested?
