2006 Toyota Tundra
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2006 Toyota Tundra Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Downtown Santa Barbara is compact enough that I can usually park in a lot and walk to wherever the vehicle is. That morning it was an assisted living facility just off the main corridor, and the Tundra was sitting in the shade near the side entrance.

The owner had been using one key for years. No spare, no backup remote. Her son handled things like this when he visited, but he was out of state and a trip to the Toyota dealer meant getting on the freeway, which she had stopped doing. She called me because someone at the front desk told her there were mobile locksmiths who came to you.

The truck had a separate key and remote. I decoded the lock, cut a new key blade to match, and programmed the transponder through the OBD port. Then I synced the replacement remote. She stayed inside the whole time. I knocked on the door when everything was tested and handed her two working sets.

She said she had been putting this off for over a year because she could not figure out how to make the dealer trip work. That part stuck with me. It was not a complicated job. But it was the kind of job where showing up at the right place makes the whole difference.

The dealer quote for one key was well more than what she paid me for two.
