Lost Toyota keys, spare keys and key fobs, cut and programmed at your car. No tow, no waiting on the dealer, and a price before we come out.
Camry, Corolla, RAV4 and Tacoma keys are an everyday job. On some older Toyotas, losing every key used to mean replacing the car’s computer at the dealer. We reset the immobilizer on site and program new keys instead.
Einstein Locksmith is a mobile locksmith based in Boca Raton. We come to wherever your Toyota is parked, cut the key, program it to the car, and you drive away. Call or text (561) 561-5397 with the year and model and you get a price before we come out.
Which key your Toyota uses decides how it is made. Years are approximate and vary by model.
| Years | Key type | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Before about 1998 | Plain metal key | No chip. Cut by code or from the lock. |
| About 1998 to 2010s | Transponder (chip) key | A chip in the head has to be registered to the car. On some older models, losing every key used to mean replacing or reflashing the car’s computer at the dealer. We reset the immobilizer on site instead. |
| Mid-2000s on | Smart key | A push-button proximity fob with a hidden emergency blade. |
| About 2010 on | Laser-cut key | A thick blade with a groove milled down the middle, cut on a code machine. |
A dealer add-a-key for a Toyota or Lexus typically runs about $300 to $500 all-in, and the car has to get to the dealer first.
A typical dealer charges about $185 just to program a Toyota key, before the cost of the key itself.
With us there is no tow and nothing to order in most cases. Our price is typically well below the dealer’s, and you get it before we come out.

Yes in most cases. That is an all-keys-lost job: we make the new key from the car itself, at the car.
That was the dealer procedure on some late-1990s and early-2000s models. In most cases we can reset the existing immobilizer on site and program new keys, with no new computer.
