The 1999 Lexus ES typically uses a traditional mechanical key with no electronic chip. We identify your exact key type, then cut and program a replacement so your vehicle starts, locks, and unlocks the way it should.
We come to you anywhere in Berkeley: your driveway, a parking lot, work, or roadside. With proof of ownership, we can even make keys when every key is lost.
Programming a modern key is precise work. Our mobile units carry the equipment to cut and code the correct key for your vehicle on site, which is why we can usually get you driving again without a tow.

How Lexus key replacement works
Confirm the vehicle: We verify your 1999 Lexus ES's exact key type so we bring the right blank and programmer.
Prove ownership: We ask for documentation showing the vehicle is yours — this protects you against theft.
Cut and program: We cut the key and program it to your vehicle's system on location.
Test everything: We confirm the engine starts and that lock, unlock, and remote functions work before we leave.
Where the vehicle supports it, we can also remove previously lost keys from the system during an all-keys-lost job, so an old key that fell into the wrong hands can no longer start your car. Security, not just convenience, is the goal.

Lexus key replacement cost
Cost depends on the exact key technology your 1999 Lexus ES uses — a basic transponder key is very different from a proximity smart fob — plus whether it is a spare or an all-keys-lost job. Call (408) 755-3415 with your year and model for an accurate quote.
An all-keys-lost situation typically costs more than cutting a spare, simply because it requires additional programming. It is one more reason a spare key made today is such a smart, money-saving move.
That is why we quote based on your specific make, model, and year rather than a generic number. Call (408) 755-3415 with those details and whether you still have a working key, and we will give you a clear, honest price.
