Toyota Key and Fob Service FAQ
Can you replace a lost Toyota smart key if I have no key at all?
In many cases, yes. We come to your Toyota, verify ownership, and then create and program a new smart key or fob on site. This depends on the model and system in your vehicle. We can confirm your options over the phone.
Do I need to tow my Toyota to a dealer for a new key?
Usually no. We are a mobile service and typically handle key cutting and programming at your location, so you avoid towing. Some rare systems or extreme damage may be exceptions, but most Toyota key jobs can be done on site.
How long does Toyota key replacement or programming take?
Time varies by model and key type. Simple keys can be fairly quick. Smart keys and security resets can take longer. When you call with your vehicle details, we can give a rough time estimate for your situation.
Can you make a key for my Toyota if my ignition is damaged or worn?
Often yes. We can inspect the ignition, repair or replace the cylinder on many Toyota models, and then cut and program a key to match. If the ignition and door locks do not match, we may be able to rekey them so one key works everything.
