Who can cut Lexus keys in San Diego?
I just got 2 blank Lexus transponder key shells, swapped in my working electronic transponder into the shells, just need to find a place to cut them (besides the dealership).
Has anyone used a good smith in San Diego area?

Ok guys had the keys cut at the local dealership. it cost $57 for 2 keys. Have to bring Drivers License and Registration. Guess how much new keys cost at the dealership, $210 a key!! So It would have cost me $420 in keys if I didn't just buy the shells on Ebay for $8.00.
Most of the locksmith's around town couldn't duplicate sidewinder keys which Lexus uses. Mobile Locksmiths could do it but since none of them had a shop and they wouldn't let me meet them I wasn't going to pay some mobile traveling fee so they lost my business.
Oh here is another tip, if you need to replace the transponder battery just go to Radio Shack they carry the size, most other places I went to did not carry that size.
