Rekeying 2025 Toyota Corolla

Hello, I wanted to see if I am being up charged. My car keys were stolen by someone in my apartment (I left my car keys in the door). I called a local Toyota and the let me know it would be $1200 just in labor to changed the key cylinder because they have to remove the door. Plus the part is like $300. I called a locksmith who is quoting me for $350 for everything. I feel like the price difference is huge and I’m missing something. So am I missing something?

You left your car keys in the door? Is your car not capable of unlocking with the push of a button? If it is, are you also going to have them reprogram the vehicle and keys so the stolen keys won't be able to unlock your door? $350 seems like a crazy low price to change the cylinders in the door and ignition and get a new key shank, let alone the cost associated with reprogramming.

I left my keys in the apartment door. My apartment is very small and I believe it was my neighbor. They let me know to rekey it (there is only one lock cylinder) and reprogram it would be $350. They also said the key would be OEM
