Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a key copied and programmed within the Surrey area .

My Car is a Toyota Avensis 2005

I need a Key with transponder. Toyota are charging me too much

Many thanks.

Timpsons do key cutting & coding - whether they can solve your problems of dodgy central locking on the car is another matter.

have you tried replacing the battery/s, as they get low they can cause problems, sometimes they work intermitantly and at different distances from the car. just a thought?

Depends on if you bought cheap or expensive, as the cheaper ones tend to not be fully charged, which for a remote you need a good one, just a thought and cheaper than a remote?
