Toyota 4Runner Locksmith in Washington, DC

Toyota 4Runner lockout, keys and ignition service

The Toyota 4Runner is a SUV we see regularly on DC streets and in DC garages. Toyota has used transponder chip keys since the late 1990s, and many models moved to high-security laser-cut blades and push-button Smart Key fobs from the mid-2000s on. Older Toyotas are among the quickest cars to make a key for; the newest models need current programming equipment, which our vans carry.

Toyota 4Runner lockout

Locked out of your Toyota 4Runner? A technician arrives in 15–25 minutes anywhere in DC and opens it without damage. With SUVs and crossovers, the usual story is a fob left in the cargo area or a cup holder when the liftgate closes. We open a door without damage and recover the key. More about car lockout service.

Toyota 4Runner key made

If you lost your only Toyota 4Runner key, we cut a new one by code or by decoding the lock and program it at the car, so no tow is needed. Have your ID and registration ready. More about car key replacement.

Toyota 4Runner key programming

We program transponder keys, remote-head keys and push-to-start fobs for the Toyota 4Runner, add spares, and erase lost keys from the vehicle on request. More about key programming and key fob replacement.

Toyota 4Runner ignition repair and replacement

On turn-key versions of the Toyota 4Runner, a key that sticks or will not turn usually points to a worn key or worn ignition cylinder. We repair or replace the cylinder where the car sits and match it to your existing key when possible. Push-to-start versions have no cylinder; no-start problems there are usually the fob or its battery. More about ignition repair.
