From a Corolla in Lynn Valley to a Tacoma at the Grouse trailhead, we come to you and program a replacement Toyota key or Smart Key fob in your driveway or parking lot. No tow, no dealership wait, no reorder delay.
Toyota keys come in a few distinct families, and each needs the right blank and the right programming tool. We carry all of them in the truck — mechanical blade keys, transponder keys with the "G" and "H" chips, remote head keys, and push-to-start Smart Key fobs — so most Toyota key jobs on the North Shore are handled in a single visit.
When you lose a Toyota key or your fob stops responding, the dealership route usually means towing the car in and waiting while they order a blank from a distribution centre. Our mobile technicians already have the blanks and the OBD programming gear on board. We diagnose which key type your Toyota uses, cut it to your vehicle's code, and pair the transponder to your car's immobiliser right where the vehicle is parked — whether that's a condo lot on Lonsdale or a driveway in Edgemont Village.
| Toyota key type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Mechanical / valet blade cut (no chip) | $30–$70 |
| "G" chip transponder key (cut + program) | $110–$190 |
| "H" chip transponder key (cut + program) | $130–$220 |
| Remote head key (chip + remote in one) | $160–$280 |
| Smart Key / proximity fob (push-to-start) | $220–$420 |
| All-keys-lost service (erase + re-enrol) | $260–$480 |
Ranges cover the fob or key, cutting, and programming. Newer Smart Key systems and all-keys-lost jobs sit at the higher end; a plain "G" chip spare for an older Corolla is among the cheapest. We confirm your exact year, make, and model on the phone and quote a firm range before we head out — no surprises when we arrive.
Tell us the model — Corolla, RAV4, Camry, Tacoma, Highlander, Prius — the year, and whether it's a bladed key or a push-to-start Smart Key. That tells us the chip type and the exact blank to load.
A mobile tech drives to wherever the Toyota is parked across North and West Vancouver — a strata lot, a trailhead, the ferry line at Horseshoe Bay. No tow required, even for all-keys-lost.
We cut the key to your VIN-derived code, program the transponder to your immobiliser, and test everything — start, lock, unlock, remote, trunk — before we pack up.
The Corolla and RAV4 are two of the most common vehicles in North Vancouver driveways, and we program keys for both weekly — along with the Camry, Tacoma, Highlander, 4Runner, Sienna, and Prius. Most 2010-and-newer Toyotas use the "H" chip; many 2004–2010 vehicles still run the "G" chip. Push-to-start Smart Key systems appear across the newer RAV4, Camry XLE/Limited, Highlander, and recent Corolla trims. Whichever generation you're driving, we match the correct blank and tool rather than guessing.
Because we're local to the North Shore, we reach you fast whether the car is at a Lynn Canyon trailhead, a Lower Lonsdale condo, an Edgemont Village driveway, or a British Properties address in West Vancouver. Lost your only Smart Key at Deep Cove after a paddle? We can re-enrol the fob on-site instead of leaving your RAV4 stranded overnight.
For the great majority of Toyotas, a mobile locksmith is faster and usually costs the same or less than the dealer. The dealership often orders the fob (2–5 business days) and requires the car towed in if it won't start; we carry the blanks and program at your location the same day. The honest exception is a small number of the newest Smart Key models whose programming is locked to Toyota's factory tools — if yours is one of those, we'll tell you upfront on the phone so you're never charged for an attempt we can't complete.
