Toad’s Lock and Key

Helped me program my key to my car. Professional and ethical. Economy prices as well!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BUSINESS! I lost my car keys and totally panicked because I knew it was going to end up costing me a fortune to go to the Mazda dealership because my key has a chip in it and had to be programmed. When I called them I was told that I had to have my car towed to the Mazda dealership because they didn’t have anybody they could send out to me so there was going to be another fee for me to have my car towed. Have year from the Mazda dealership gave me the name of Toad and told me that there was a chance that he would have a blank key for my car and he would also be able to do the programming and he had a mobile service and could come to me if he did have that. Javier suggested I should try him first before getting my car towed to the dealership. It might’ve helped my cause that I was crying at the time and very upset so he was very very nice to me and very helpful. I called Toad and they checked and told me that they did have what they needed to make me a key and that they would be out as soon as they possibly could this afternoon.
What should have been a 10 minute job ended up taking James, the very nice man who came out, over an hour because I guess someone had re-​coded my key once before I bought it, and he still only charged me the $ 120 fee he had quoted me. I got a new remote from him and I also had him make me a second key so this will not ever happen again and the total was $ 200. The remote is about $ 150 at the Mazda dealership and he only charged me $ 40 for it.
This was a very expensive lesson for me and I’m sure I will find my keys now that I have paid $ 200 to remedy the problem (and they will be useless since I have had it reprogrammed), but this business is highly recommended by me because of the gentleman’s personality, his prompt response, the professional job he did (did I mention it was 106° in my garage where he was working?), and a reasonable price for coming to my home.

Fast and friendly! I have used them several times as my kids have a habit of losing their keys! Charges a fourth of the price for chipped keys compared to the dealerships.

What a great deal he hooked me up with a chip key .and was super fast. Thanks so much for your great service.

These guys are great — fast, responsive, and well-​priced. We needed a replacement key for our new car, which came without a spare. The Dodge dealership quoted me an arm and a leg just for the key, and tacked on a programming charge. Toad’s service can do chip-​key programming, and they have a mobile service in addition to their stationary truck site on Union & Belle Terrace. Toad charged me about ¼ of what the Dodge dealer charged and made and programmed the new key in less than 10 minutes. Very polite, straightforward, pleasant. I highly recommend that anyone needing locksmithing services, ESPECIALLY chip-​keys for cars, contact these folks. Toad said he’d been in business for 30 years — and the kicker is, I found out about him from ANOTHER locksmith who doesn’t do the programming. Thanks Toad!
