Great experience! The dealer wanted $600 for a keyfob for a 2021 Highlander and it was $300 at Mr. Key's. Friendly service and out in less than 30 minutes. I'll never go to a dealer again for a replacement key.

Wonderful experience! I needed to replace the key fob for my car. The dealership wanted more than $300. My mechanic told me about "Mr. Key's" they saved me 65% off the dealer price. I highly recommend Mr. Key's .

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you replace and program key fobs for most makes?
They handle a wide range of vehicles, including transponder, smart, and proximity keys. Availability can vary by model year and trim, so calling ahead with your vehicle details is recommended.
How long does a typical key fob replacement take?
Many customers report being in and out within 10 to 30 minutes for common models. Times can vary based on your vehicle, required programming steps, and parts availability.
Is it cheaper than going to the dealership?
Several reviews mention paying significantly less than dealer quotes for fob replacements. Exact pricing depends on the vehicle and key type, so ask for an estimate before you visit.
Do I need to bring my vehicle to the shop?
For programming and testing, having the vehicle on-site is often necessary. Call to discuss your situation, especially if all keys are lost or the car is not drivable.
What should I bring for a replacement key or fob?
Bring your vehicle, a working key if you have one, and identification that matches the vehicle registration. This helps confirm ownership and speeds up service.
