Mike Traynor Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Can anyone suggest a place, in Boquete if possible, to get a Toyota key blank cut or ground? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Hampton Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Don't know of anybody in Boquete who can make a new Toyota key but your best bet is Gustavo Aruz in David Alarmas Gustavo 6672-8408 774-5017 gustavoarauzdelcid@hotmail.com http://www.alarmasgustavo.net Son, Eduardo, speaks English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Mike, please let us know how it goes. I need a Toyota key cut also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Mike, If it’s a ‘chipped’ key, and I believe it is, Gustavo is your best option. Bonnie, send me a photo of the key you want to duplicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 My husband got ours done at Ivan. We have a Yaris and a Hilux. The copy works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Traynor Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Thanks to John and Keith for the above referral to Alarmas Gustavo. I had been told by someone else that Mandarin and Ivan cut car key blanks (I had bought them online via Amazon, but they came from China, which I have since concluded may mean to expect variances in some products). Mandarin tried, then they saw that I couldn't turn either of the cut keys in the door or the ignition, they tried a second time, but I still couldn't, turn them and they refunded the cutting fee. Went to Ferreteria Ivan and they absolutely refused to cut any car keys. I had also heard of another (to remain unnamed) business in David who told me they wanted to hold my car for 2 days to do the work. Called Alarmas Gustavo and was told they could do the cutting of the blanks and the programming of the keys' transponders in c. 2 hours. Went there today. Eduardo cheerfully took the two Mandarin-cut keys and an older original, recut the ones Mandarin had failed on, both worked fine, he had me out in a half hour for $20. Conclusion: Don't waste time, etc. Go to Alarmas Gustavo. : ) Edited November 26, 2018 by Mike Traynor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I agree. Gustavo is great. He disconnected my malfunctioning car alarm in very little time at very reasonable cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
