    So I have a push-to-start Taco, and I have been needing to get a new key fob made (it only had one when I got it). Does anyone have a recommendations on the most cost-effective way to do this? I've heard you can buy a blank fob online and have a locksmith come and program it for you. Is that true? If so, can anyone recommend a supplier?
