Lexus shares its key technology with Toyota, and we service both every week. Most Lexus keys are high-security laser-cut blades or push-to-start smart fobs - and our vans carry the equipment to cut and program both, right where your Lexus is parked.

Based in Fremont, serving the entire Bay Area.

Lexus Key Types

Which key your Lexus uses depends on its generation - here's the rundown.

Traditional metal keys

The oldest Lexus models use a plain metal key - a straightforward cut.

Transponder keys

A chip in the key head must be programmed to the car. Most Lexus models from the 2000s onward use transponder chips.

High-security laser-cut keys

Thicker blades with a milled center groove that need specialized cutting equipment - our vans carry it.

Smart / proximity keys

Push-to-start smart fobs that stay in your pocket, standard on most newer Lexus models - programmed at the curb.

What We Do On-Site

  • Standard Lexus key cut on-site - $90-$220, key and cutting included
  • Transponder key cut and programmed - $120-$260, key and programming included
  • Smart / proximity fob programmed - $180-$360, fob and programming included
  • All-keys-lost and spares from an existing key - quoted within the published ranges before we head out

Every price is an all-inclusive total - the key or fob itself, cutting, programming, the trip to you, and all fees. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Most car keys are cut and programmed on-site in 20-40 minutes once we arrive.

When you call, have your car's year, model, and VIN if you can reach it, plus whether you've lost the only key. Proof of ownership is required before we cut or program a key.

"Excellent service! Prompt and friendly. Helped with our car key replacement for our Chevy. Especially helpful when the dealer says three days for an appointment and charges you three times as much! Highly recommend."
