Lost all keys, need advice.
My Mother went to the hospital and gave her belongings including her last master key. The hospital lost the key but has agreed to cover the cost of replacing it.
So, I nee have new keys made and ecu flashed or replaced.
Lexus will replace the ECU and have new keys cut, but the turn around is a about a week and the dealer is not very close to her house and the car needs to be towed.
There is a mobile service that will come to her house, flash ecu and cut keys same day.
Is having a mobile service flash an ecu a good idea? Should I have Lexus perform the service instead?
Thanks for any input.

I don't trust 3rd parties to work on my Lexus. I would get the dealer do it; especially if its on the hospitals dime. Make the hospital pay to have it towed to/from the dealer and for a rental car.
Then I would buy an extra key.
