When you need us — fast
Car lockout · home lockout · lost car keys · broken key in ignition · key fob not working · stuck in parking lot · need a key cut at 11pm. We do it all, every day, including nights and weekends.
How fast can you actually get here?
Our base is Pickering. Real ETAs (no marketing fluff): Pickering/Ajax 15–30 min · Whitby/Oshawa 30–45 min · Scarborough East / Markham 25–40 min · Toronto core 35–60 min depending on traffic. We give you a real ETA on the phone, not a vague “on the way”.
What we charge during emergencies
Same shop pricing + a small after-hours surcharge if it’s after 8pm or on Sunday. We quote upfront on the phone before dispatch — no surprises. Most car-lockouts are $49–$129. Most home/condo lockouts are $79–$179. Lost-keys jobs (replacement key on the spot) are quoted using our instant-quote tool.
What we don’t do
We don’t drill cylinders unless it’s the absolute last resort — most modern cars and homes never need that. We don’t charge a “trip fee” you didn’t agree to. We don’t pressure-sell. If we can’t fix it on-site, we tell you immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast will you really arrive?
30 min ETA across Durham region (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa). 45–60 min for Toronto core, Markham, North York. We quote a real ETA on the phone — not “as soon as possible”.
Are you 24/7?
Effectively yes. Daytime 8am–8pm Mon–Sat at our Pickering shop + mobile dispatch. After hours and Sunday: emergency-only mobile dispatch with a small surcharge. Call (416) 676-9142 anytime.
Can you make me a key on-site?
Yes for most cars — we have a fully equipped mobile van with key-cutting, programming, and immobiliser-read equipment (Autel, Lonsdor, Xhorse). For some specialty platforms (BMW FEM, Land Rover UWB, Mercedes 2015+) it’s faster to drive in to our Pickering shop.
Do you charge a callout / dispatch fee even if I cancel?
If you cancel before we leave the shop: zero charge. If we’re already en route: $25–$45 depending on distance. We tell you this on the phone before we start driving — no hidden fees.
Do you handle insurance / fleet?
Yes — we invoice direct to insurance, fleet accounts, dealerships, body shops, and tow operators. Letterhead quote within an hour, e-transfer or net-15 invoicing accepted.

“Found a tracker on my wife's car within minutes. Phil came to us, professional, gave us all the paperwork. Court-ready documentation.”
“I called three TSCM firms in Toronto. Fob Experts answered, came same-day, found nothing on my car which was the answer I wanted. Worth every dollar.”
“Quick condo fob duplication, $20 instead of property management charging me $150. Five minutes, in and out.”
“Lost my BMW key, got a replacement same day. Half the dealer price.”
“I thought my ex had put something on my car. Phil swept it, did a full visual inspection plus RF scan. Nothing there, but the relief was worth every penny.”
“Locked out at 11pm. Arrived in 25 min, fair price, no scammy upsells. The way it should be.”
