2012 Toyota 4runner Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Out in 4S Ranch, off one of those long residential stretches near Rancho Bernardo, a guy called me from his driveway. His 2012 4Runner key had snapped. Half the blade was still sitting in the ignition cylinder. He had the other half in his hand and a look on his face like he was already calculating a tow.
A shop had already quoted him a full ignition replacement over the phone. That is the easy answer when you are not standing there looking at it, but it is almost never the right one.
I extracted the broken fragment using a proper Toyota-fit extraction tool, working around the wafer stack without disturbing anything inside the cylinder. Then I decoded the lock from the wafer positions, cut a fresh key blade to match, and programmed the transponder through the OBD port. The remote head itself was still intact in his hand, buttons and all, so I mated the new blade and chip to it. One unit, back in service.
His original cylinder works exactly as it did. No drilling, no replacement, no marks on anything.
The other shop's plan would have cost him a significant amount more. He mentioned it on his way back inside. I just packed up the tools and moved on to the next call.

Fair pricing that earns five stars
“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.”
