Car key replacement across Toronto works the same way in every district: you call, we quote the price from the make, model and year, and a local technician drives to the car with a key machine and programming equipment. Each area page below covers the key problem we hear about most there, and what to tell us so the technician arrives ready for it.

Is your street outside these areas?
If it is inside the City of Toronto, we cover it. The district pages are examples, not limits. Give the nearest intersection and the exact spot, and the dispatcher confirms coverage when you call.
How to describe where the car is
- Street address, or the nearest intersection and which side of the street.
- In a garage: the building address, the entrance, the level and the stall number.
- In a lot: the business name and roughly where in the lot the car sits.
- Whether someone has to let the technician in.
How fast does a technician get there?
Usually 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where the nearest technician is when you call. The dispatcher gives you an estimate for your address. Lines are open daily from 7am to 10:30pm.
Questions about coverage
Does the area change the price?
Your price is quoted for the car, the key and the address together, before anyone is sent, so the drive is not a surprise later.
Can the technician work in an underground garage?
Yes, if the driver's door can open and someone can let the technician in. Call from street level if there is no signal below.
Do you come to workplaces and plazas?
Yes. A parking lot is fine as long as you can be there with your ID.
What if I do not know the exact address?
Give the nearest intersection or a business name, and keep your phone on so the technician can call when close.
