Call first for Key Programming
If the blade turns but the car laughs at you, the immobilizer is not happy. Chip keys and smart keys need a proper talk to the car over OBD - hardware stores usually stop at the cut. We come to you with mobile programmers and blanks for a lot of what runs on GTA roads.
Driveway, lot, or doorstep anywhere in Toronto or the GTA. Call (647) 874-2137 first for ETA and the real quote — the rest below is only if you want details before you book.

What dispatch needs to quote your job
We do not publish fixed rates online because the real price depends on the exact job, parts, and access. These are the details dispatch uses to quote you by phone before we head out.
- Vehicle and key typeTransponder, remote-head, or proximity - programming depth varies by manufacturer.
- All keys lostUsually more steps than adding a spare; we explain before we drive.
- Equipment and tokensSome vehicles need dealer-only tools - we say that early if it applies.
- On-site conditionsBattery health, OBD access, and security warnings can add time.

What's the difference between a transponder key and a regular key?
Chip in the head talks to the car. Cut only is not enough to start.
Can you program a key bought online?
Maybe - cheap blanks fail a lot. Our blanks are safer.
What is all-keys-lost (AKL) programming?
No working keys - we clear old slots and teach new ones. More steps, more time.
Can you program keys for all car brands?
Most common stuff here. Rare encrypted stuff might be dealer - we say before you pay.
How long does programming take?
Often 20-40 min for add-a-key. AKL can run 45-90 depending on car.
