Your Local Toyota Key Specialist
I'm Dean — a specialist mobile auto locksmith based in Honiton with over 15 years of experience, including regular work on Toyota vehicles. Toyota builds some of the most reliable cars on the road, but key and lock issues still happen — and when they do, Toyota's immobiliser system can make key replacement more involved than a basic volume car. Whether you've lost your Toyota keys, need a spare Toyota key cut and programmed, or your Toyota immobiliser is preventing a start, I carry professional AUTEL and Xhorse equipment covering the full Toyota and Lexus range.
Unlike a main dealer, I come to you — home, workplace, car park or roadside — and complete the Toyota key programming on-site. Toyota and Lexus share the same security platform, and newer models (Yaris GR, Corolla 12th gen, RAV4 Hybrid) use a more advanced immobiliser that requires specialist diagnostic equipment — the same equipment I carry on every callout.
A note on Toyota hybrids: the Prius, Yaris Hybrid, Corolla Hybrid and RAV4 Hybrid have a combined combustion and electric system, but the key and immobiliser work identically to the non-hybrid versions. There is no additional complexity or cost for hybrid key replacement. For information on vehicle theft prevention, the AA has a useful guide to keyless car security.
Toyota Key Types We Work With
Toyota has used several key and entry technologies across its range over the years. I work with all of them:
Toyota Flip Keys
Fold-out blade remote keys used across Yaris, Auris and Aygo models.
Toyota Smart Key System
Toyota's proximity smart key for push-button start on Corolla, RAV4 and C-HR.
Toyota Keyless Entry
Detect-and-go entry on newer Yaris GR, RAV4 and Land Cruiser.
Toyota Transponder Keys
Chip-coded keys for older models using Toyota's immobiliser system.
Toyota Proximity Keys
Hands-free unlocking across the premium and hybrid range.
Toyota Card Keys
Slim card-style keys used on some Prius models.
Toyota Vehicles Covered (Model & Year)
I cover the full Toyota range across the years these models have been on UK roads, including hybrid models and the Hilux pickup:
| Model | Years Covered | Common Key Type |

Our Toyota Auto Locksmith Services
Toyota Key Replacement (Lost Keys)
Lost all your Toyota keys? No original needed. Using your VIN and Toyota immobiliser data I create a complete replacement key from scratch on-site. See lost car keys.
Spare Toyota Keys
A spare Toyota key is the best way to avoid future problems. I cut and programme spares for all Toyota models on-site — flip keys, Smart Keys and hybrid models — far cheaper than an emergency replacement later.
Toyota Hybrid Key Replacement
Prius, Yaris Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid and Corolla Hybrid key replacement works identically to non-hybrid versions. No additional cost, same-day service. I carry Toyota hybrid key blanks as standard.
Toyota Key Programming
Toyota key programming via the Toyota immobiliser system. My AUTEL equipment programmes new keys, syncs Smart Key fobs and resolves immobiliser faults — at your location.
Toyota Key Fob Repairs
A Toyota key fob that's stopped working often just needs a new battery, button repair or reprogramming. I diagnose and repair before recommending a full replacement.
Toyota Broken Key Extraction
Snapped a Toyota key in the door or barrel? I safely extract the broken blade and cut a fresh working key on-site.
Common Toyota Issues We See
Across thousands of Toyota callouts, certain faults come up again and again. If you're experiencing any of these, I can help:
Recent Toyota Job — Exeter
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid — Lost Only Key
A customer lost the only Smart Key to a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in Exeter. Despite being a hybrid model the key and immobiliser work identically to the petrol version. I attended within the hour, gained non-destructive entry, read the Toyota immobiliser, programmed a new Smart Key on-site, and deleted the missing key from the system. The customer was back driving the same afternoon — at well below the Toyota dealer quote, no recovery vehicle, and no wait.
Main Dealer vs DB Car Keys
For most Toyota key and lock jobs, a mobile specialist saves you time and money compared with a main dealer:
| Main Dealer | DB Car Keys | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the car there | ✗Recovery often needed | ✓We come to you |
| Waiting time | ✗Days, parts ordered | ✓Same day |
| Pricing | ✗Higher | ✓Typically lower |
| Where the work happens | ✗Workshop visit | ✓Mobile, at your location |
| Availability | ✗Business hours | ✓24/7 emergency |
What Toyota Customers Say
“Thought losing the key to my Toyota RAV4 Hybrid would mean a huge dealer bill. Dean came to Exeter, sorted it the same day and charged far less than expected. Really impressive service.”
