Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

2023 Lexus ES Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

She was at a wine bar over in Bay Marina in National City when her clutch purse got grabbed off the back of her chair. Keys, ID, cards, all of it. She borrowed a phone, called the police, then her husband, then me.

Her 2023 Lexus ES was sitting in the lot with zero keys to its name. Her husband had already called the Lexus dealer. They told him the car would need to be towed in, that they could not see it for four to five business days, and that the job would involve wiping the smart key system and registering new fobs. The number they gave him was not a small one.

I got there that same evening. All-keys-lost after a theft has a specific priority: the stolen fob has to be electronically erased so it cannot start the car. That comes before anything else. I connected my diagnostic equipment at the OBD port, cleared the existing key data from the vehicle's security system, and registered two new fobs from scratch. I also cut the emergency blade so she would have a mechanical backup. Both fobs were tested at every function before I packed up.

She drove home that night. The stolen fob is dead to the car now. The dealer comparison came up only because her husband mentioned it on the way out. I was already loading up the van.
