     Did you have a master key on hand when they made new keys?  I'll bet   
   you did, and for that $85 part + labor is about right.   
      
     The Tacoma doesn't have the high-security system that some high-end   
   sedans have, where they have to physically reprogram the security   
   computer.  The cost can go up a lot to make a new master key for those   
   cars if you do not have an existing programmed master key on hand -   
   you can't add keys without the 'security code' in a master key.
