If you bought a used car with just one key, a spare is probably somewhere on your to-do list. Below the oil change. Above the thing you've completely forgotten about.
It's worth moving up the list.
With a working key still in your hand, you can arrange a visit at a time that suits you. Lose that last key and the job changes. Depending on the vehicle, making a replacement without an existing key can take a different process and cost more.
Our spare car key service starts with checking what you already have. A key can look quite simple and still contain a chip that the car needs to recognise. Cutting the blade may be only part of the work; programming may be needed as well.
Then there's everyday convenience. Two people sharing a car shouldn't have to keep handing over the same key. A spare gives each driver their own set. It's also useful when the main key takes an unexpected trip through the washing machine.
Once the new key is ready, check the functions it is meant to provide. That includes starting the car, not just opening a door. Store your backup separately from the key you use each day.
"I need a new car key" can mean several things. The whole set may be missing. The plastic casing may have split while the key still works. Or the remote buttons may have given up, leaving you unsure whether the car will start.
We sort out which job you actually need before arranging the work.
Car key replacement may be possible even when there's no original to copy. The steps depend on the vehicle and its security system. We check those details first, including whether we can supply and program the right key.
For an all-keys-lost job, have the make, model and year ready. We'll also need to confirm your right to access the vehicle. If your documents are locked inside it, explain that when you call so we can discuss how verification will work.
If the missing key may have been stolen, bring that up too. Making another key and preventing the old one from being used are separate concerns. We can discuss the options available for your vehicle, including what may still need attention.
A damaged case doesn't always mean you need a complete new fob. A remote that stops responding may have a battery issue. Neither should be guessed at just from the outside.
Think about what changed. Did the trouble follow a drop onto the driveway? Did one button stop working long before the others? Does the spare still work normally? Those details help narrow things down.
We check whether the job involves the key blade, the remote, programming or another fault. A replacement should match the car's system, not just the shape of the old key.
Already bought a fob online? Keep its packaging and part details. Two fobs can look identical and still be incompatible. Some used fobs also have limits on reuse. Before booking programming, we need to check the item and the vehicle together. It's an easy detail to miss when the photo looks exactly right.
For a car key quote, the useful question is what you'll have when the job is finished. Does the price cover the key or fob, cutting and any required programming? Will the remote buttons work too? Get the scope clear so you know what you're booking.
Sometimes the key needs no work at all. It's simply on the wrong side of the glass.
We provide car lockout help for supported vehicles. If you can see the keys inside, say so. If you're unsure where they are, that matters too. Opening the door may solve the first problem, but you could still need a key to drive away.
While waiting, avoid pushing tools between the glass and the door. Door seals and wiring can be damaged that way. If a child, pet or anyone else is in immediate danger, contact emergency services first.
An ignition problem needs a different check. A key that won't turn, a key stuck in the ignition and a car that won't start aren't automatically the same fault. We need to know what happens when you use the key, and whether a spare behaves differently.
Our auto locksmith work includes ignition faults and broken-key removal. We look at the key and the lock before discussing repair or replacement. If the problem appears to be elsewhere in the vehicle, we'll explain that too. A car that won't start doesn't always need a locksmith.
If the key is bent or cracked, stop forcing it. Keep any broken pieces for the visit. They may help us understand the damage, even though they won't necessarily be enough to make a working replacement.
Home driveway, workplace parking lot or a parking space near CF Markville - the visit starts wherever the car is. Our mobile service covers Markham, including Unionville, Cornell, Berczy and Box Grove. Nearby coverage can be checked when you call.
When you're choosing a local locksmith, make sure the service fits the car as well as the location. We check vehicle details before confirming the job. For a planned spare key, you can discuss a booking. For an urgent lockout or lost key, we'll check current availability and give you an arrival estimate.
A few details help us find the car without a second round of phone calls:
You don't have to choose between "transponder" and "smart key" before getting in touch. The car details and a description of the key are enough to begin. If you still have one, keep it handy for the visit - even if it's the one that has been giving you trouble.
