2013 Lexus ES Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A customer up in the Hillsides reached out after a key she had gotten programmed by another locksmith started acting up about a week into owning it. Not dead. Just unreliable.
The story she told me was specific: car started fine in the morning, but by mid-afternoon the push-to-start would flash a key-not-detected warning and she'd have to hold the fob right against the start button just to get it to go. Some days it cleared up on its own. Some days it didn't. She assumed her ES had developed some kind of electrical issue and had already started getting quotes on diagnostic work.
I drove up and connected to the car before touching anything else. The vehicle history and the fob both told the same story once I looked: the fob that had been programmed wasn't correctly matched to the security system on her specific car. The immobilizer was partially accepting it but failing deeper verification under certain conditions, which is exactly why it worked sometimes and not others. Heat and low voltage were making the marginal match worse. The CR1632 inside wasn't helping.
I programmed a correctly matched replacement fob, swapped the battery, walked every function, and held the fob at arm's length to confirm range was solid before I left. She hadn't needed an electrical diagnosis. She just needed the key done right the first time.
The dealer comparison came up casually at the end. She'd called Lexus of Ventura before finding me and had been told to bring the car in, expect parts on order, and plan on at least two days. Getting it handled in the Hillsides driveway in under an hour wasn't something she'd expected.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
