How to Make a Lexus Key
If you need to make a Lexus key, there are a few options available to you. Here are the steps you can take:
1. Check for a Spare Key: Before proceeding with making a new key, make sure you don’t have a spare key hidden away as a backup. Take a moment to try and remember where it might be located.
2. Contact an Automotive Locksmith: If you don’t have a spare key or can’t find it, you can reach out to an automotive locksmith. When contacting the locksmith, provide them with the exact year, make, and model of your Lexus. This information is important as it helps the locksmith determine if they have the necessary tools and equipment to code the key. Additionally, having the VIN number available may be helpful for the locksmith.
3. Avoid Towing to the Dealer: It’s worth noting that for most Lexus models, there is no need to tow the car to the dealer if you lose your car keys. A qualified automotive locksmith should be able to assist you in making a new key without the need for towing.
4. Contact a Lexus Dealership: Another option is to contact a Lexus dealership and ask for their service department. You can find the closest dealer by visiting the official Lexus website and entering your zip code. Alternatively, you can contact Lexus directly at 1-800-255-3987 and select option 3. The Lexus representative will assist you in ordering a replacement key for your vehicle. They will require your personal information, including the year, make, and model of your Lexus.
Remember, it’s always a good idea to consult with a professional locksmith or the dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information on making a Lexus key.
