Yaris to Hilux — All Key TypesToyota Car Key
Specialist
The most reliable cars on the road — but even Toyotas lose their keys. Smart entry fobs, transponder chips, remote syncing. Yaris, Corolla, RAV4, Hilux — we do them all.
"I'd taken the grandkids to the beach at Fraisthorpe — low tide, miles of sand, perfect for flying kites. Drove my RAV4 onto the sand (I know, I know) and parked up. Spent three hours running around with the kids, building sandcastles, the whole thing. Came back to the car and — no key. My pocket had a hole. Somewhere in roughly two square miles of East Yorkshire beach, there's a Toyota smart key buried. I rang Ian. He drove out onto the sand, programmed a new smart key to the RAV4, and even had a chuckle when I told him it was only a month old. 'Happens more than you'd think' he said. Didn't make me feel any less daft but the kids thought it was an adventure."

Toyota Key FAQs
How much does a Toyota key replacement cost?+
Toyota keys start from £99 for a basic non-remote key. Remote keys (Yaris, Auris, older RAV4) are £120-£170. Smart Entry proximity keys for modern Toyotas cost £170-£250. Hilux keys are £130-£190. All include mobile callout to your location.
Can you programme Toyota Smart Entry keys?+
Yes — we supply and programme Smart Entry & Start proximity fobs for RAV4, Corolla, C-HR, newer Yaris, and other Toyota models. The key is coded to the immobiliser and tested for keyless entry, push-button start, and boot release.
How long does a Toyota key take?+
Most Toyota keys are done in 30-60 minutes. Smart Entry keys take slightly longer due to extra coding steps. We carry common Toyota key blanks and transponder chips (4D, 4C, 8A) for the popular models.
Can you do Toyota Hilux keys?+
Yes — the Hilux is everywhere in East Yorkshire and we've done hundreds. All generations covered, from older non-remote keys to the latest smart keys. We come to your farm, worksite, or wherever you're parked.
Do you replace Toyota Aygo keys?+
Yes — the Aygo shares its key system with the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107/108. Earlier models use a basic transponder; later ones may have remote keys. Very common in the Bridlington area and we always carry Aygo-compatible blanks.
Can you clone a Toyota transponder chip?+
Yes for 4C chips (older models) which clone directly. 4D chips (encrypted, on many Toyotas) need OBD programming rather than simple cloning. We carry both types and can tell you which your model needs — just call with the year and model.
