I know a lot of locksmiths who don't do auto work. Then I also know one who does exclusively auto work and makes in excess of $250K per year working out of his mobile van. He works for an auto auction and makes between 10-20 original keys per day for cars without keys. This guy is so good he can whip out a key (both mechanical and with transponder) in just a few minutes. Determinators and the T-Code make him a lot of money.

My biggest money maker is auto work and I don't have a lot of experience, but I have self studied and have the basic cloning and T-Code type tools to make it easy.
