Default Where to get key's cut?

Hey, hope everyone's doing well!

I ordered another key for my RX300, and I need to get it cut out. It's a sidewinder type key, so most places can't cut them.

Does anyone know someone that can cut them?

I talked to Lexus of Edison, which is 10 minutes from me but they won't do it, since it can supposedly damage their machine... That's there way of telling me to stop being a cheap a** and buy the key from them. lol

I'll try calling another dealership later tonight, but I was wondering if anyone knows someone in the business that can do that.

Thanks in advance!

If you live in Maryland, I usually go to the Lexus of Towson to get copies made... They're usually legit with their services

Just thought I would give an update in case anyone is in my situation.

Lexus of Bridgewater cut the key for $30. I'm now trying to program it.

My boy does keys, but you have to go to queens or brooklyn to do it. Also when he cuts/programs keys he needs to make sure you are the owner of the vehicle. Let me know if your interested.

The key's are cut and programmed now, so I'm good. But, if in the future I need to get more keys cut, I'll PM you.

I tried calling Prestige when I needed the key cut, but they said it ruins their machine using aftermarket keys. yeah, right... Because Denso is aftermarket.... lol
