Spare or replacement keys in Midway: we make them at your car or, by appointment, in our workshop at 3794 Rosecrans St. Toyota Tundra, RAV4 and Nissan smart keys are regular workshop jobs.
Spares from $120, all-inclusive · Arrival: typically 20–40 minutes during business hours
A basic metal key, a transponder key, and a proximity fob need different parts and work. A quote should cover the appropriate key, cutting, and required programming. Tell us if a working key remains; that can change the process compared with replacing every lost key.
A similar-looking key is not proof of compatibility. Check support before buying a replacement online.
