Toyota Car Keys

Toyota Keys We Handle Every Week

Camrys, Corollas, RAV4s and Tacomas are everywhere in Columbia, and Toyota keys are some of our most frequent calls. Toyota has used chip keys for decades, so a cheap hardware-store copy will open the door but won’t start the car. We cut and program the chip at your vehicle.

For Toyotas with push-button start, we supply and program smart keys. If you are down to your last key, adding a spare now costs far less than originating a key after the last one is lost.

Popular Toyota models we key: Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Tacoma, Highlander, Tundra, 4Runner, Sienna and more. Not sure about yours? Call with the year and model and we’ll confirm before we come out.

Have a Question?

Toyota Car Keys FAQ

Will a copied Toyota key start my car?

Only if the chip is programmed. A plain cut key opens the door but the immobilizer won’t let the engine run. We cut and program the chip together.

How much does a Toyota key replacement cost?

It depends on the model, the year and the type of key. We quote the exact price, cutting and programming included, before we start.

Do I need to tow my Toyota to you?

No. We are fully mobile and do the work wherever the vehicle is parked.

What do I need to show you?

Proof of ownership (registration or title) and a matching photo ID. We will not make a key without it.

Can you make a spare Toyota key?

Yes. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is quick and costs far less than replacing a lost last key.

Are you available 24/7?

Yes. Our line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays.
