Yes and no....
Yes they can come into the dealer and get a key made but they can not get the imbobilizer code with out the other key. So they can get into your car but not start it.
Also the dealers do not give out keys unless the recipiant can provide proof of ownership of the car. they cant just walk in with a VIN and expect to get a key cut.
