    I have lost my spare key to my 08 Prerunner, drove 70 miles to dealer , had my build sheet and my key that I use every day, service adviser told me it would be 2 days before they would able to cut me one, plus $150.00 in advance, is this a normal charge ? I didn't know it was made of gold or I would have put it in the bank !

    No other dealers in the area? The 2 days is not surprising. $150 sounds pretty steep even for a chipped key.

    Call around a few different dealers and see if you can work something out by mail.

    You think that's expensive? It's more here in Canada.
