Mobile Lexus key replacement near you
Most Lexus models start with a smart key that never leaves your pocket, which makes it easy to forget about until it goes missing. If your RX or ES key is lost, damaged or just down to one, we come to your home, office or parking lot and program a replacement right there. You don't need to have the car towed to a dealer.
Lexus shares much of its key technology with Toyota, but the fobs, chips and part numbers are specific to each Lexus model and year. Some models offered a slim card-style key, and every smart key carries a hidden metal key for the driver's door. We match the exact fob your vehicle uses, program it to the car and cut the emergency blade to your locks.

Lexus keys and fobs we replace
Smart keys (push-button start)
The standard key on most Lexus models for well over a decade. We program new smart keys on site and can add spares or replace a fob that has stopped working.
Card keys
Some Lexus models offered a thin card-shaped smart key that fits in a wallet. If your car came with one, we can tell you what replacement options it supports.
Older transponder and remote-head keys
Earlier ES, RX and IS models used chipped keys, some with the remote built into the head. We cut and program these on site as well.
Mechanical emergency key
Slide the release on your Lexus fob and a small metal key comes out for the driver's door. We cut a new one to match when it has gone missing.
Dead fob? Your Lexus will still start
If the dashboard says no key is detected, the fob battery may simply be weak. On most Lexus models you can hold the fob, Lexus emblem side first, against the start button and press it. If the car still won't start, the fob may need reprogramming or replacing, which we can do on site.
Common Lexus key jobs we handle

|---|---|---|
| Comes to you | No, tow needed if all keys are lost | Yes |

A few of the newest models still require dealer-only programming. Call with your VIN and we'll tell you up front.
Lexus key replacement FAQs
Can a locksmith program a Lexus key fob?
Yes. We program Lexus smart keys and remotes on site for most models, including when all keys are lost. If your model year is one of the few that still needs the dealer, we'll tell you before we come out.
Is a Lexus key the same as a Toyota key?
They use similar technology, but the fobs are usually different parts and are matched to specific Lexus models and years. Using the correct Lexus fob matters for both the remote functions and push-button start.
How do I get into my Lexus if the fob battery is dead?
Use the metal key hidden inside the fob to open the driver's door. Then hold the fob against the start button to start the car on most models. If the hidden key is missing, we can cut a new one.
How much does Lexus key replacement cost?
It depends on the model, year and key type. A basic Lexus transponder key costs less than a push-to-start smart key, and making a spare costs less than replacing every lost key. Call (586) 623-2403 with your year, model and VIN for a firm quote before any work starts.
