“Mercedes Toronto wanted $1,800 for a spare key on my GLE. Phil at Fob Experts did it in under an hour for $850. I drove from Forest Hill — saved enough to cover the gas for a year.”

How It Works
1
Call With VIN
Tell us year, model, VIN. We confirm Mercedes-Benz coverage and quote firm by phone — before you drive in or tow.
2
Drive In
Most Mercedes-Benz jobs are in-shop at our Pickering location. For some all-keys-lost cases we may coordinate the tow.
3
Verify Ownership
Industry standard: Ontario vehicle permit in your name + matching photo ID. Protects everyone.
4
We Program
Spare key: 30-90 minutes for most Mercedes-Benz. 2-3 hours for AMG / S-Class all-keys-lost.
5
Drive Away
We bench-test the new key with the car running, hand it off, and document the work for your 1-year workmanship warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you cheaper than Mercedes-Benz Toronto on Bayview?
For nearly every Mercedes job, yes — typically $400-1,200 less for an equivalent spare or all-keys-lost. Same OEM-grade key, same security.
Will programming a Mercedes key here void my warranty?
No. NASTF-credentialed programming uses the same security data path as the dealer. Documentation provided if needed.
Do you do G-Wagon keys?
Yes — including current W463A platform. G-Wagon all-keys-lost is more involved due to module security; plan a longer appointment.
How long does a Mercedes spare key take?
Most C/E/GLE/GLC: 1-2 hours. S-Class and AMG variants: 2-3 hours due to additional security layers.
Do you do AMG E 63, S 63, GT 63 etc.?
Yes — same NASTF-certified programming. The hardware path is identical to the standard variants for keys.
What about EQS / EQE / EQB?
Yes for most current models. Some 2026 EQS-class refreshes have additional security ramps — call with VIN to confirm.
Will the dealer accept a key programmed by a NASTF shop?
Yes — the dealer’s diagnostic system reads the key as factory-paired because it IS factory-paired through credentialed access.
Do you do Sprinter or Metris commercial keys?
Yes — both standard transponder and current generation. Common for fleet customers in the Pickering / Durham area.
