“Land Rover Toronto quoted $2,800 for a UWB key on my Defender — 3-week wait. Phil quoted $1,650 firm and had it done in an afternoon at the Pickering shop. Saved over a grand and three weeks.”

3

Industry standard: Ontario vehicle permit in your name + matching photo ID. Protects everyone.
4
We Program
Spare key: 30-90 minutes for most Range Rover / JLR. 2-5 hours for UWB-equipped all-keys-lost including pairing protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really program a UWB Range Rover key without JLR?
Yes — that’s exactly what NASTF VSP credentialing exists for. UWB-secured JLR vehicles need OEM-restricted security data access, which fewer than 1% of independent locksmiths in Ontario have. We do.
How much cheaper than JLR Toronto?
Typically $500-1,500 less for an equivalent job — depending on whether UWB is involved and whether it’s spare or all-keys-lost.
Do you do current-generation Defender keys?
Yes — including UWB-equipped 2024-current Defender. End-to-end programming at our Pickering shop.
How long does Range Rover UWB all-keys-lost take?
Typically 3-5 hours including security wait timer and pairing protocols.
Will my JLR factory warranty be impacted?
No. NASTF-credentialed programming follows the same security path as JLR.
Why are JLR keys so much more expensive than other brands?
UWB security architecture is more complex than older systems, JLR ramps security on each model year, and demand has surged due to relay-attack theft. Even so, NASTF-certified shops are typically $500-1,500 less than JLR dealer.
Do you do older Range Rover and Land Rover (pre-UWB)?
Yes — Discovery, Freelander, older Range Rover, Range Rover Sport.
Should I install Ghost-II on my Range Rover?
Strongly worth considering. Range Rover and Defender remain the most-targeted relay-attack vehicles in Ontario.
