Replacing a 2012 Lexus IS Key
The 2012 Lexus IS typically uses a remote head key (or flip key) that combines a transponder chip and the lock/unlock remote buttons in one unit, requiring both cutting and programming. Chida Locksmith carries the equipment to cut and program this type of key on-site, so most Lexus IS owners in Piedmont can get a working replacement without towing the vehicle to a dealership. Our mobile programming avoids a costly dealer tow and appointment.
Whether you have lost every key to your 2012 Lexus IS, need a dependable spare, or your remote has stopped working, our mobile technicians handle it where you are — at home, at work, or on the roadside anywhere in Piedmont. We confirm the correct key for your exact year and trim before we arrive so the job is done in a single visit.
