WTF?! I have locked my keys in cars twice in my life, in two different States. One episode cost $50, and the more recent one with my Yaris ran $65. I have no idea why anyone would charge $250 for the same service. Perhaps you should contact another locksmith.

Regarding a locksmith getting into the Yaris, they didn't pick the lock on mine, or "jimmy" it. After looking at it from a few angles they mashed a soft wedge into the top rear of the driver's door to create a small space and then used a semi-malleable metal rod with a rubber tip on it to actually roll the internal lock button on the drier's handle to the unlocked position just like you would with your finger. Pretty nifty.
