Default Can't get keys cut

My son broke one key and lost the other set. Bought a new key off amazon (with chip) and have taken it to 3 Locksmiths and they won't touch it. What to do??? Don't have the $650.00 Lexus wants. Please help :-\ Opps... It is a ES300 year 2001

My dealer only charged $35-60 to cut and program for both a 2008 RX350, 2002 GS300, and 2004 ES330. Despite being broken, the key should still allow the dealer to program the keys without programing the entire system.

Default Replacement Keys

Greetings:

1010keys.com sells on Ebay. They can sell you a key cut from the key code, if you have it, or a picture of your old key. They are very reasonably priced. I bought a master key and the wallet key from them and they were easy to program.

Good luck,

To cut a key at the dealer is not expensive. I paid $20 and they trace the old key.
