Lexus key cutting and programming!

Lexus key cutting and programming!
Two weeks ago I went to get my tires flipped and the kid who pulls the cars around at the tire shop apparently broke my key right from the base... smh
So I went on ebay and ordered this flip out case

Once I had the case I need to figure out a way to have the key portion cut, the dealer wanted 150 so I called around to see who else I could find.
Found these guys and they did it for 45 bucks, and the keys work perfectly. It took them less than 5 minutes and the key works perfectly.

not sure if they do it by mail order, i would doubt it.
I've got 2. I used to use Chino Lock and Security but they recently raised their prices from $20-25/key to 30/key. Still not bad. They don't offer any programming IIRC. Bring your own blanks.
I've sent a couple friends recently to B&B Lock and Security, $25/key to cut only, $80 to cut/program (you can totally program yourself if you have a '98+ Lexus.) I've only had people take their own blanks but they may be able to source you one.

I too purchased the switch blade for my gs3. Any recommendations within a 50 mile radius from Valencia/San Fernando valley? I'm still searching for a transponder then reprogramming. Many places I've checked gave me ridiculous quotes

hey guys noob here but have a question about keys. i just got my 01 is300 about a month ago and was only given one key. it looks grey but opens everything (i know grey means valet and should only open doors and start car). it looks OEM. well anyways i just bought one of the keys in the ebay link down there and was wonderign if i will be able to program it? i found a mobile guy here that said he can cut it for $25 and i think he said he can cut and program for $85 but will this work with the key i have?
