Need my new replacement smart key programmed (Mass) 2016 Taco

My dealership quoted me 1 1/2 hours to program a smart key for my 2016 TRD. I think I'm getting jammed... Anyone in the area know a less costly or fair price to get it programed ?

Thanks..

 

Most places should charge only 1/2hr. Any more any they are totally ripping you off, unless you lost all the keys.
Where in Mass are you?

 

I have a 05 Tacoma basic, went to ACE got a key for $1.50. Maybe you should just change ignition locks!

 

may I ask why you need one?

 

Mass Pike and 495... I heard the key drop it in the truck, I was in a hurry so I left the truck unlocked, when I returned it started right up. So the key had to be in the truck, right ? A week later I found a second key that the salesman tossed in the glovebox in an envelope that signal was starting the truck, mystery solved. What did you pay for programming ?

Try a different dealer

 

I work at a dealer in western mass. I think its around $45 for a key program. We get 1/2 for programming or 1 hr if all keys are lost and need to reseed the system. 1hr 1/2 just for programming is absolute robbery.

 

Thanks, great info...where's the dealership located ?

 

In Mass looking to have a key FOB replaced for a TRD model, people a quoting me 190 for the key then another 130 for programming.. So looking at over 300$. Please if someone finds a better deal elsewhere, please pass it along. I will do the same

 

check out Olathe toyota 866-596-1970 I've done business with them for years. I bought my FOB from them for $124.69 this week. My dealership is quoting me $115 to program it... 'PinkTaco' $45 sound a lot better, us Pilgrims need to stick together....so could you divulge your programming source ? ;{>

 

Where in Western Mass are you located? Cause in Boston Area so far I am looking at upwards of $350-400 (190 key, 130 program, 60 labor) after its all said and done w/ labor included. I really do not want to pay that much, its a complete rip!!! Help please.

 

Are they cutting the laser cut key as well? That's where the additional labor may come from, we have to order them already cut. I can check and see on prices though to compare.
