Lost Keys!

ok i lost my keys to my 2000 corolla and i dont have a spare. is there any other way i can start it without going to a dealer and paying out the ass for a new key, like a toyota master key or something ? i have 2 corollas and it would be nice to use 1 key for both cars

Hot wire it.... Keys are seven bucks at the dealer and the master is a bit more.

1) Take registration with VIN number along with a photo ID to your dealer, they can cut you a key. It did not cost a whole lot for a normal non transponder key.

2) spend a LOT of money to hire a locksmith to open your car, rekey everything to the current key for you second toyota...

Hell ill just take a stubby flat head screwdriver and pound it into the ignition

Speaking from experience here as i am a former locksmith, your best bet is to take your vin and registration and photo ID into toyota and see if they can cut the key. In most situations they can if not your only option is to pull the ignition or passenger door lock and hope they have a key code on them. Most locksmiths have a computer program to punch the code into and an automated machine that will cut the key. Usually this is not too expensive ....the shop i used to work for charged anywhere from $25 to $50 bucks. If there is no code they more then likely can make a key by disassembling the locks themselves, although this may cost a little more.

As for a master key there is no such thing. And as far as sticking a screwdriver in the ignition that will not work either, its not like the movies you will only cause damage to the lock itself and be paying out the a$$ for a new one.

Good luck!
