1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out in Saticoy, a guy flagged me down after posting in a local group. He had a 1995 Land Cruiser sitting in his driveway with zero keys. Not lost, just gone. Previous owner handed him the truck with one key, that key broke off in the door lock about a week in, and the ignition barrel was already worn enough that the broken stub spun loose inside.

He had called the dealer first. They told him to tow it in, and the quote covered not just the key but a whole ignition cylinder replacement at shop rate. He was not happy about that.

I came out to his place off Telegraph Road. Pulled the door lock cylinder, decoded it on the spot, and cut a replacement key blade to match. Then I checked the ignition separately. The cylinder was worn but still readable, and the cut matched up. No tow, no shop bay, no appointment window.

The moment that key turned the ignition cleanly, he said it was the first time the truck had run since he bought it. He had been driving his wife's car for two weeks waiting on the dealer's schedule.

He paid a fraction of what the dealer quoted, and the truck stayed in his driveway the whole time.
