2000 Toyota MR2 Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
There is a parking area out near Corriganville in Simi Valley that gets used early in the morning, and that is exactly where I got a call about a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder that had become a fight every single day.
The owner had been dealing with a sticky ignition for a few weeks. Some mornings it turned fine. Other mornings she was sitting there working the key back and forth for a few minutes before it caught. The day she called me, it had stopped cooperating entirely.
I looked at the cylinder first. The blade was worn at the tip and the wafers inside the lock had gotten sloppy over the years. The MR2 Spyder ignition is a compact setup and it does not tolerate much slop. When those internal wafers wear, the key starts catching on them instead of riding through cleanly, and eventually the whole turn becomes a negotiation.
The fix was mechanical. I decoded the lock, replaced the worn components inside the cylinder, and cut a fresh key matched to the repaired lock. Then I handled the transponder side so the immobilizer recognized the new key. The car started cleanly on the first try.
She had already called the dealer before reaching out to me. They had quoted her a full cylinder replacement plus new keys plus programming. I replaced what was actually worn, came to her, and she paid a fraction of what they wanted. The ignition has turned smooth every morning since.

Five-star reviews from budget-smart drivers
“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.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
