I figured I would just let them order me a replacement key thinking it would be $150 to $200 tops...... Then I find out they are hitting me for $500 and the key is already ordered.

Oh well....guess they are getting a little bit of their expenses back in the key sales.
Still a good bunch of guys and Get my A+ on service but $500 for a key ????
Really ??
I hope its the optional gold plated one with diamond studs
If I was you I would make this $500 a deal breaker.
You have paid for dents to be removed and that no doubt included the cost of the wheel repair, now you are paying for a key at an unholy price, no wonder they are giving you the red carpet treatment.
They do not expect to see you again as they are so far away so they are soaking you while they can.
They will probably make you pay $100 for the key to be initialized with the car. You can do that for yourself if you read the simple instructions on how its done. They will not say that you can do it yourself.
I would refuse to pay that for a key as its over twice the going rate and that's a ripoff too.
