Lexus key questions.

Straight answers, without the upsell.

Does a Lexus smart key have a physical key?

Yes. A mechanical blade hides inside most Lexus fobs for the door lock. We cut it when we make a new smart key.

Can you make a Lexus key if I lost them all?

On many Lexus models, yes, on site. Some newer Lexus models use encrypted systems where all-keys-lost takes extra steps. We confirm by VIN before heading out.

What do I need to have ready?

Photo ID and the registration or title in your name, plus the year, model, and VIN. The VIN is on the dashboard at the base of the windshield.
