Can you replace a Toyota key when all keys are lost?
Yes. All-keys-lost is the most common Toyota scenario we handle, especially with Tacoma and Tundra truck owners across North Austin and Pflugerville. The process is a few minutes longer because we delete the lost key from the immobilizer before programming the new one, which prevents the old key from ever starting the truck again. Identity verification required: driver's license matched to vehicle registration. See the automotive locksmith hub for the full range of services.
Do you service Toyota Smart Key and older transponder keys?
Both. Pre-2010 Toyota models typically use a transponder chip key, programmed at $120 base plus $60 for a $180 total. 2010 and newer models with push-to-start ignition use the Toyota Smart Key System fob, programmed at $120 base plus $100 to $300 depending on the specific fob, for a $220 to $420 total. The dispatcher confirms your exact year and trim on the phone and quotes the full number before dispatch.
What Toyota models do you cover?
Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Tacoma, Tundra, Highlander, 4Runner, Sienna, Prius, Avalon, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, C-HR, and Venza across all model years from 1999 to present. We carry Toyota blanks and fobs for the full lineup. The vehicle coverage section above shows key type transitions by year range for each model.
How much does a Toyota key replacement cost in Austin?
Transponder keys (most Toyota models 1999 to 2009): $180 total ($120 base plus $60). Smart Key System fobs (2010+ push-to-start models): $220 to $420 total depending on the fob. All-keys-lost: same pricing, no surcharge for the immobilizer deletion step. Tax is additional. The full rate card is at /pricing/.
