Lost, broken, or unresponsive car key fob? We come to you anywhere in North Vancouver — Lonsdale, Deep Cove, Lynn Valley, or Horseshoe Bay — and supply, cut & program a replacement fob on the spot. No dealership order, no tow, no week-long wait.
A car key fob that won't lock, unlock, or start your vehicle doesn't have to mean a dealership order and a week without your keys. Our mobile technicians carry fob stock, key-cutting gear, and the diagnostic programming tools for most makes right in the truck — we replace and program on-site, in your driveway, parking lot, or at the trailhead.
When you call us for key fob replacement in North Vancouver, you get a licensed locksmith who supplies and programs the fob at your location — not a parts referral, not a "we'll order it and call you back" delay. We handle lost fobs, cracked or water-damaged fobs, and fobs that have simply stopped talking to the car. Already bought a fob online and can't get it to work? We can program that too, on most supported vehicles. Whether it's a plain remote, a remote head key, a flip key, or a push-to-start proximity fob, we diagnose it and get you driving in a single visit.
Before you spend on a replacement, it's worth ruling out the cheapest fix. A fob with a fading coin-cell battery gives itself away: shorter range, needing two or three presses, or a low-battery warning on the dash. That's a two-minute swap. But if the fob is cracked, has taken water, the buttons are unresponsive at point-blank range with a fresh battery, or the car doesn't recognise it at all, the fob's electronics or its programming are the problem — and that's a replacement or re-enrolment. We check the battery first and never upsell you into a new fob you don't need.

Ranges reflect the fob part, labour, and programming. Luxury and European marques with proprietary systems typically sit at the higher end. We confirm your year, make, and model on the phone and give you a firm range before we roll — no surprises when we arrive.

A mobile tech heads to wherever the car is — Lower Lonsdale, Edgemont Village, a Grouse Mountain lot, or the Horseshoe Bay ferry line. The North Shore is our whole coverage area.
We cut the blade if there is one, enrol the fob to your car's immobiliser, and test every button — lock, unlock, trunk, remote start, and push-to-start — before we call it done.
North Vancouver's trailheads are some of the busiest in Metro Vancouver — Grouse, Lynn Canyon, Capilano, and the Deep Cove kayak launch. A fob that quits or goes missing at any of those spots leaves you stranded if you call a company that doesn't cover the North Shore. We're local, so we know the parking areas and the routes, and we can reach you up the mountain or out at Horseshoe Bay before the next ferry loads.
We also cover the residential streets and the strata parkades: the townhomes along Lonsdale, the single-family homes in Edgemont Village and the British Properties, the apartment towers on Marine Drive in West Vancouver, and the newer subdivisions in Lynnmour and Seymour. Wherever your car is parked across the 604 and 778 North Shore, a working fob is one call away.
We cover North Vancouver and West Vancouver — pick your neighbourhood for local detail on response times and common calls.
