For Toyota drivers
The wait is usually the real cost.
The invoice is only half of what a dealership key costs you. The other half is the appointment — the days the car sits undriveable while you wait for a slot, and the tow to get it there if you've lost every key.
We work the other way round. We come to the car, cut and program the key on site, and you keep the day. That covers replacement keys, spare keys, fobs and remotes, and all-keys-lost jobs where there's nothing left to copy from.
What it costs
Toyota key prices start at the same place as everyone else's.
A Toyota key costs what its type costs. A plain cut blade on an older Corolla and a push-to-start proximity fob on a recent model are different objects with different prices, so the year and model matter more than the badge.
The full list — laser cut keys from $45, transponder keys from $75, remote head keys from $95, smart and proximity keys from $145, and all keys lost from $145 — is on the price list, along with what moves the final number. Every figure there is a starting price, not a flat rate, and we match written estimates.
Also for Toyotas
Not every problem is the key.
If the key goes in but only turns when you hold it just so, the wear is usually in the ignition cylinder rather than the key. Replacing keys won't fix that, and it's an expensive way to find out. That job is ignition repair, from $225.
If a Toyota fob has simply stopped responding, check the obvious things before buying a replacement — a flat vehicle battery looks identical to a dead fob from the driver's seat. More on that under key fob replacement.
A real Toyota job

"Exceptional service. Quick, affordable and convenient. Lost my car keys. Toyota gave me an appointment for a week later, Oscar came the very next day and made two keys for me for even lesser price than what Toyota was charging for one. Highly recommended."
FAQ
Toyota key questions, answered straight.
Can you replace a Toyota key without going to the dealership?
Yes. We cut and program Toyota keys and fobs at your vehicle, so there's no service appointment and no need to leave the car anywhere. We're a NASTF-Registered Vehicle Security Professional, which is the automaker-backed registry that lets qualified locksmiths pull key codes and immobiliser data straight from the manufacturer, the same way a dealership does.
How much is a replacement Toyota key?
It depends which key your Toyota takes. Keys start at $45 for a laser cut blade, $75 for a transponder key and $145 for a smart or proximity fob. Those are starting prices, not flat rates — send us the year and model for the exact figure.
I lost every Toyota key I had. Is that still fixable?
Yes. All keys lost starts at $145 and varies by vehicle, contact for exact quote. We cut and program a new key from scratch at the car, so it doesn't need towing anywhere.
Do you program Toyota push-to-start smart keys?
Yes. A Toyota proximity fob — the push-to-start kind — starts at $145, and we program it at the vehicle. If you've lost the only one you had, that's an all-keys-lost job, from $145 and varies by vehicle.
My Toyota key only turns when I hold it a certain way. Do I need a new key?
Probably not. If the key goes in but only turns when you hold it just so, the wear is usually in the ignition cylinder rather than the key, and replacing keys won't fix it. That job is ignition repair, from $225. Tell us what the key is doing and we'll say which it is.
