Quick answers — before you call
How long does it take?
Most car keys: 30–60 minutes on the spot. AKL (lost all keys): 60–120 minutes — we read your immobiliser. Building fobs: 5 minutes per fob. Garage remotes: 5–10 minutes.
Can you come to me, or do I drive in?
Both. Our shop is at Unit 2, 340 Kingston Rd, Pickering — drop in 8am–8pm Mon–Sat (free parking). Or we dispatch a fully-equipped mobile van across Durham, Toronto, Markham, Scarborough. Mobile fee shown on the quote — no hourly games.
Same day?
Yes — 90% of car keys are programmed same day, often while you wait. Building fobs are always same-day at the shop. Some rare OEM blanks (luxury European latest models) need 24–48 h to source.
Do I need to bring my car?
For spare keys: yes, we need the car physically (in shop or wherever you are if mobile). For AKL: yes — we read the immobiliser to make a key from scratch. For battery / repair / reprogramming an existing fob: just bring the fob.
What do I need to bring?
Photo ID (driver's licence) + proof of vehicle ownership (registration, insurance card, or ownership). For AKL on a luxury car we may also ask for VIN photo. Cash, debit, e-transfer, tap, and insurance authorization all accepted.
Is there a warranty?
Yes — 90-day warranty on all programming and key cuts. If a key we made stops working in 90 days, we re-program or replace at no charge.
Will my insurance cover it?
Often yes — most comprehensive auto insurance covers lost-key replacement. We invoice direct to insurance + fleet accounts and can issue a written quote on letterhead within the hour. Just ask.
What if my car / fob isn't on the list?
We still cover it 90% of the time — the list shows our most common 50+ makes and brands, but we have universal equipment. Send a photo of your fob (or car / VIN) via WhatsApp and we'll quote in 5 minutes.
Do you charge a "diagnostic fee" or hidden fees?
No. The price you see is the price you pay — includes the key, programming, warranty, and tax. The only add-on is the mobile-zone fee shown on the quote (only if you choose mobile, not shop). No "shop fee" or surprise charges.
What payment methods?
Cash, debit, all credit cards (tap), Apple Pay / Google Pay, e-transfer (instant), insurance authorization, fleet billing. No fee for any payment method.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Licensed locksmiths in Ontario, $2 million liability insured, bonded, and police background-checked. We also handle insurance and fleet jobs that require certified locksmith documentation.
Can you help right now (after hours / emergency)?
Yes — 24/7 emergency mobile dispatch. Call 416-676-9142. Standard mobile fees apply during business hours; after-hours emergency adds a small surcharge based on time of day. We'll quote upfront before dispatching.

BMW dealer wanted $1,400 for a spare key. Fob Experts did it in 45 minutes for $379. Same OEM-spec fob, no waiting two weeks for a part order. Honestly couldn't believe the price difference.
Locked my keys in the car at 9pm in Pickering. Their van was there in 25 min, opened the door without a scratch, total $69. Friendly tech, no upsell, no surprise fees. Will use again.
I lost both keys to my Toyota Highlander. Fob Experts came to the parking lot, made a brand-new key from scratch in under an hour. $429 all-in. Toyota dealer quoted me $850 + tow.
