With PATS, the transponder keys need to be programmed to the car, so cutting a new key alone wouldn't work. If the locksmith has the equipment to program new keys to the PATS though, the locksmith could possibly do the work on-site. You're right, that would likely be less expensive than towing it to the dealer and having them do it. To find a locksmith that makes house calls, you could check with local used car lots in your area. Around here there is one that works a few states around here and is in our area once or twice a week. There may be a similar locksmith in your area.
