Overview
Our automotive locksmith identifies your vehicle, verifies the key type, cuts a new key, and programs the transponder, remote, or smart key to the vehicle. You leave with a fully functional replacement car key ready to use.
Do you really need to go to the dealership for a car key?
Not always. Many modern car keys can be cut and programmed by a qualified automotive locksmith directly at your location. Depending on the vehicle, we can provide car key replacement, transponder keys, smart keys, proximity keys and key fobs without requiring a dealership visit — which saves you the time and inconvenience of towing the vehicle or leaving it with a service department.
Lost your only car key? A new key can still be made
Losing the last key does not necessarily mean your vehicle needs expensive dealer service or a complete lock replacement. A professional automotive locksmith can often create a replacement key using your vehicle's information and specialised key-programming equipment. The exact procedure depends on the make, model and year, but in many cases the new key can be cut and programmed right at your vehicle.
Why car key replacement prices can be so different
The cost of a replacement car key depends on the vehicle and the type of key required — not simply the metal key itself. Basic keys are generally less complex, while transponder keys, smart keys, proximity keys and push-to-start fobs may require specialised programming. Before starting the job, ask what is included in the price: key cutting, programming, the key or fob itself, and mobile service. We give you that breakdown so you know what you are paying for.
Need a car key today? We come to you
A car key problem can happen at home, at work, in a parking lot, or on the side of the road. We provide mobile automotive locksmith service throughout Toronto and the GTA, helping customers with lost keys, replacement keys, spare keys, key fobs and key programming. Call and describe the vehicle, and you will hear which replacement option is available to it.
The visit
Step 1: Call about the key
Tell us your vehicle's year, make and model, and your location. We discuss what the replacement needs, give you an estimate, and arrange a mobile visit that suits you.
Step 2: We come to your location
A mobile locksmith arrives at your home, workplace, parking lot or roadside anywhere across Toronto and the GTA. You do not need to tow the vehicle to a dealership.
Step 3: We verify the vehicle and the key it takes
The technician confirms the vehicle details and determines the correct key type — a traditional key, transponder key, smart key, proximity key or fob.
Step 4: Your new key is cut
The replacement is cut to match your vehicle's locks and ignition. If you want a second key while we are there, that is the cheapest moment to have one made.
Step 5: We program and test it
The new key or fob is programmed to your vehicle with professional key-programming equipment, then tested — the key, the remote functions and the starting system.
Step 6: Job complete, and you are on your way
Once the replacement is fully tested the service is done, without the time and inconvenience of a dealership visit.
