We come to you anywhere in North Vancouver — Lonsdale, Deep Cove, Lynn Valley, or Horseshoe Bay — and cut & program a replacement car key on the spot. No tow truck, no dealership wait, no sticker shock.
A lost or damaged car key doesn't have to mean a tow and a three-day dealer visit. Our mobile technicians carry key-cutting equipment and programming tools in the truck — we handle most makes and models right in your driveway, parking lot, or trailhead.
When you call us for car key replacement in North Vancouver, you get a licensed locksmith at your location — not a referral to someone else, not a "we'll order a part" delay. We carry blank key stock and the diagnostic programming gear for the vast majority of modern vehicles on Canadian roads. Whether you've lost all copies of a key, snapped one in the ignition, or your fob has simply stopped communicating with the vehicle, we diagnose the issue and resolve it in a single visit.
| Key type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Basic cut-only (no chip) | $25–$60 |
| Transponder key (chip only, no remote) | $90–$180 |
| Remote head key (chip + remote in one key) | $140–$260 |
| Flip / switchblade key with remote | $120–$240 |
| Smart key / proximity fob (push-to-start) | $180–$380 |
| All-keys-lost service (erase + re-enrol) | $220–$450 |
Ranges reflect parts, labour, and programming. Luxury and European marques with proprietary systems typically sit at the higher end. We quote on the phone once we confirm your year, make, and model — no surprises when we arrive.
Tell us your year, make, model, and VIN if you have it. We confirm parts availability and give you a firm price range on the call — no vague "depends" answers.
A mobile tech heads to wherever the car is. North Shore geography covers a lot — from the Lower Lonsdale waterfront to the Sea-to-Sky Highway entrance at Horseshoe Bay. We cover it all.
The key is cut to your car's code, the transponder chip is programmed to your vehicle's immobiliser, and we test every function — start, lock, unlock, remote — before we leave.
North Vancouver has some of the busiest trailheads in Metro Vancouver — Grouse Mountain parking, Lynn Canyon, Capilano River, Deep Cove's kayak launch. Keys locked in or lost at any of these spots puts you a long way from help if you call a company that doesn't cover the North Shore. We're local, which means we know the routes, we know the parking areas, and we can reach you in the mountains or at Horseshoe Bay before the next ferry departs.
We also serve the residential streets: the strata townhomes on Lonsdale, the single-family properties in Edgemont Village and British Properties, the apartment towers along Marine Drive in West Vancouver, and the newer subdivisions in Lynnmour and Seymour. Wherever your car is parked in the 604 and 778 North Shore area codes, we're the call to make.
For most vehicles, yes — and here's why. A dealership will typically charge more for programming labour, order the key blank from a distribution centre (often 2–5 business days), and require you to tow the car in if it won't start. A mobile locksmith has the blank in the truck and programs at your location. The time saved alone is worth the call, and the final price is usually the same or lower. The exception: certain high-end vehicles with proprietary programming systems that only the manufacturer's tools can handle — we'll tell you upfront if yours is one of them, so you're not charged for an attempt we can't complete.
