Automotive Locksmith FAQs
How quickly can you unlock my car?
We guarantee a 15-minute arrival time for all car lockout emergencies in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and throughout HRM. Once our technician arrives, most vehicle unlocks take just 5-10 minutes using our specialized non-destructive entry tools. We won't damage your vehicle's locks, windows, or door frames. Our technicians are available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Can you make a new key if I lost all my car keys?
Yes! We can create new car keys even when all keys have been lost. Our mobile locksmiths carry key-cutting machines and programming equipment to create and program new keys on-site. This includes standard keys, transponder chip keys, key fobs, and smart keys. We can extract your vehicle's key code and cut a new key that works perfectly. Programming typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on your vehicle's make and model.
Do you program transponder keys and key fobs?
Absolutely. We program all types of transponder keys, chip keys, key fobs, smart keys, and remote entry systems for all vehicle makes and models. We have the latest diagnostic and programming equipment to work with even the newest vehicle security systems. Our technicians can program keys for domestic vehicles (Ford, GM, Chrysler), Asian imports (Toyota, Honda, Nissan), and European luxury vehicles (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen).
How much does it cost to replace a car key?
Car key replacement costs vary based on the type of key and your vehicle's security system. Basic key cutting starts at $45. Transponder key replacement with programming starts at $150. Key fob replacement starts at $200. Smart key and proximity key replacement starts at $300. These prices are significantly less than dealership rates, and we provide the service at your location with same-day availability. We provide upfront quotes before beginning any work.
What if my key broke off in the ignition?
Don't worry - broken key extraction is one of our most common services. We have specialized tools to safely remove broken keys from ignitions, door locks, and trunk locks without damaging the lock mechanism. Once extracted, we can cut you a new key from the broken pieces or from your vehicle's key code. If the ignition was damaged when the key broke, we can repair or replace it on-site. This service typically costs $75+ for extraction and includes cutting one new key.
Do you service all car makes and models?
Yes! We service all vehicle makes and models including domestic brands (Ford, GM, Dodge, Chrysler), Asian imports (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Subaru), European vehicles (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Porsche), and luxury brands (Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, Lincoln, Jaguar, Land Rover). We also work on trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles. Our technicians stay current with training on the latest automotive security systems.
