CAR LOCKOUT — DAMAGE-FREE ENTRY
Being locked out of your car in Vancouver is stressful — whether it's in an underground parkade downtown, a grocery store lot in Kitsilano, or on the street in East Van. Our automotive locksmiths use professional non-destructive entry tools designed specifically for modern vehicles. We open your car cleanly, without bending the window seal, scratching the frame, or triggering your alarm system. Every make and model, every year.
We have completed thousands of car lockouts across Vancouver — from Yaletown to UBC to the North Shore. No matter where you are in the city, we dispatch immediately and give you a real ETA. Average arrival: 20–30 minutes.
LOST CAR KEYS — ON-SITE CUTTING & PROGRAMMING
When you have lost your only key, you do not need a tow truck and you do not need to wait days at a Vancouver dealership. We come to your location anywhere in the city, cut a new key blade using mobile equipment, and program the transponder chip or smart key fob to your vehicle on the spot. For most vehicles, you are back on the road in under one hour. We carry programming equipment for virtually every vehicle brand sold in Canada — domestic, European, and Asian.
We recently programmed two Mercedes-Benz keys on-site in West Vancouver. We programmed a GMC Denali key fob in a customer's driveway. These are jobs that dealerships would have you waiting days and paying double for. We do them at your location, the same day.
KEY FOB PROGRAMMING
Modern key fobs contain encrypted chips that must be programmed to your specific vehicle's ECU. A lost or damaged fob is not a reason to go to the dealership. We program replacement fobs for all major brands — Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and more — at a fraction of dealership cost. We come to you, anywhere in Vancouver.
TRANSPONDER KEY CUTTING
Transponder keys have a hidden chip that communicates with your car's immobilizer. Without the correct chip signal, the engine will not start even if the blade fits perfectly. We cut and program transponder keys on-site for virtually all vehicles — from basic transponder keys to high-security laser-cut keys used on European cars. Our pricing beats dealership rates by 40–60% and we save you the tow truck bill.
IGNITION REPAIR
A key that will not turn, a stiff ignition cylinder, or a broken key inside the ignition — these are not situations to force. Forcing makes it worse and more expensive. Our technicians diagnose and repair ignition problems on-site. In most cases you drive away without ever needing a tow truck.
