| Need help asap! Lost all keys.
Ok the story is, about last week, I misplaced my keys to my car and lost it somewhere not sure. So this whole week, Ive been using my spare. Last night, I managed to lose my spare, it mustve slipped out my pocket pretty sure. I know I shoudlve got duplicates of that, it was my bad. But I need to know what are my options? Since my car is a soarer, should i go to the toyota/lexus dealership and get them to cut a key for me? Thanks any help is appreciated  |

Oh my.....getting Lexus keys is expensive. Did you lose your credit card wallet key too? Your only option is to go to a Lexus dealer and prove that you are the registered owner of the vehicle. If your car is a JDM Soarer, I'm not sure if they can do it for you.

IIRC if you have Roadside Plus, they'll pay to re-key/make new keys. Check your policy and see if it's included.

Bring a copy of your vehicle registration, provided the originals aren't locked in the car too to the dealer

If you take it to the dealer they're gonna charge a stupid amount. They wanted like $25 to make a duplicate for my JDM MR2 when I had it. Also it wasn't guaranteed to work because my car was "JDM". Another option is to get a key "keyed" to your door lock... I got it done on my civic when someone smashed my door lock. They can change pieces inside the the lock to a specific pattern.

Perhaps try a locksmith that specializes in automotive locks? I'm not sure if the keys are coded where they can cut an exact copy of it or not, but it may be worth a shot if the dealership wants to charge an arm and a leg for it.
Here's one that I've used before and they were pretty good. They're out in Coquitlam though. You might want to give them a call and see if they can help you out first since you can't exactly drive your car out there. http://www.precisionlock.com/Home.page | |

holy crap that's some bad luck .... hopefully your last recourse isn't going to be a dent puller and/or screwdriver to get it started

If it's a standard car key a locksmith will come to your house and cut you a new key for $100.

is this the type of lexus key you have? the one shown is circa 2000 with a chip and i'm not sure what the older ones look like 
if it looks like this, you *could* try ebay. the one shown is a spare that i had made from a seller on ebay. i gave them a canadian VIN number and they cut it for me, but i'm not sure if that can be done with yours because JDM cars do not have VINs?
