How It Works
1
Call With VIN
Tell us year, model, VIN. We confirm Porsche coverage and quote firm by phone — before you drive in or tow.
2
Drive In
Most Porsche 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 Porsche. 3-5 hours for all-keys-lost including security pairing.
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.
