2013 Toyota Sequoia Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy in the Blossom Valley area of Lakeside called me on a weekday afternoon. He was renting at an apartment complex and had one key to his 2013 Toyota Sequoia. One. He had been meaning to get a spare cut for months and finally decided to stop putting it off after a neighbor locked their keys inside their car and spent half a day sorting it out.

He had called the dealer first, which is what most people do. They gave him a number that surprised him. He figured that was just the going rate for a Toyota transponder key and started to mentally accept it before a friend told him to check around.

He found me, I drove out, and I parked at his building. He came down with his working key and his registration. I decoded the blade from the lock, cut a new key blank to match, and programmed the transponder to the immobilizer through the OBD port. The whole job ran about thirty minutes. The new key started the Sequoia clean on the first try, no crank-and-stall, no warning lights.

He held both keys and said something like, "I should have done this a year ago." Probably. But at least now he is not one bad day away from being stuck.

The dealer comparison came up for about ten seconds. He had already done that math. I just did the job.
