Fob issues are one of the most common calls we handle in Lake San Marcos. Toyota fob issues often trace back to a dead CR2032 battery or the proximity antenna module under the dash. Aftermarket fobs work for many vehicles and cost 40-60% less than the OEM unit, with the same range and functionality once programmed. Proximity fobs that stop being detected often just need a battery swap and possibly a quick reprogram.

Transponder and smart key programming is the core of what we do every day. All-keys-lost situations are more involved but fully doable on-site - we pull the immobilizer codes and generate a brand-new key from scratch. The HYQ14FBN used on RAV4 and Highlander is a 4-button proximity fob with remote start - we stock these on the van daily. Whether it's a push-to-start fob, a transponder chip key, or a remote-head key, we cut and program on-site.

Every quote starts with your year, make, and model. We pull up the key spec and give you an exact price before dispatching. Toyota dealers typically quote $350–$500 for a smart key replacement. Our all-in mobile price for the same job is usually $200–$320. Compared to the dealership, our pricing typically comes in 40–60% lower for the same result - OEM-spec key, cut and programmed on-site. Mobile service means no tow fee, no shop overhead, and no waiting room - all of which are baked into the dealer's price.
