lost key

lost key

like 2 days ago my wife tried to open something with her key and broke it so she asked me for the extra one and I gave it to her, well yesterday she went to a restaurant and put her keys on the counter, she said there was like 3 other people at the counter and one of them took her keys by mistake. we waited all day to see if anybody returned them but nothing and tomorrow she starts a new job so I got to get the car started somehow. Changing the locks and getting a new switch seems kind of expensive and since is a 1990 Corolla I dont know if the dealer could make a set with just the VIN number. What you guys think would the dealer be able to get an extra set or do I have to change everything

the dealership should be able to make you a new one from the vin just take in proof of ownership

even if the car is that old

yeah we had a key made on a 87 blazer, when I worked at a dealership.

Do you know around how much they charge for the one key. I know if you worked there u prob. got a discount but any info would help

I think toyota charges like 15 bucks or something for the blank and then i don't know how much to cut it.

i feel your pain, i've made like 3 copies of my key.

thanx for the info. Also would they cut it at the dealer or have to wait a day to get it?

I think they'll do it right there it only takes like 3 mins to cut... unless they don't have a key macine, we didn't have one at the lexus store.

The dealership should be able to make u the key that's for sure

yeah, they can make you a copy of the key from the vin...thats how thiefs do it, but thats another story...
