i dunno about a key fob but you can take any key cylinder (that the door key opens e.i. hatch/glove box) out and take it to a locksmith and they'll make a key for you

sometimes you can take your VIN to a dealership and they can cut a key for you (the car doesn't even have to be there, you just need the VIN)...check at a local GM dealership...I had this done when I locked my keys in the car @ the dealership one time
