2012 Scion TC Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy in Rancho Santa Fe, over in The Bridges, picked up a 2012 Scion TC off one of the resale apps. Clean title, solid shape, one key. The seller told him to sort out a spare on his own. He assumed a Scion would be inexpensive to copy since it shared DNA with Toyota's compact lineup. The dealer fixed that assumption quickly. They quoted him a number that made him go looking online, which is how he found me.
I told him the dealer quote was real, just not the only option. I met him at his place in The Bridges with my equipment already loaded.
The TC uses a transponder key with a separate remote fob. On an add-a-key job like this, where the original key is present and working, I can register the new transponder to the immobilizer through the diagnostic port without wiping the existing key out of memory. That matters. If I did a full reset with one key in hand, he'd have been fine, but I've seen people lose track of which key is which and end up stranded. The cleaner move is add-a-key when you have a working original.
I cut the new blade on my machine, registered the transponder, then synced the fob separately. Tested both keys on all functions before I packed up.
He left with two working keys for a fraction of what the dealer wanted for one. And now if one ever gets lost, it's still an add-a-key job instead of an all-keys-lost situation, which is a completely different level of work and cost.

What doorstep service looks like in reviews
“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”
“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”
“Tim was GREAT. I honestly swear he must have had my keys made before he even showed up. The entire process was insanely fast, from the initial phone call to having the keys in my hand. No one will beat the pricing, efficiency, or outstanding service.”
