CAR KEY REPLACEMENT & PROGRAMMING

Replacement car keys, cut and programmed at your vehicle

Luxury Automotive Locksmith LTD replaces and programs car keys in Vancouver and Metro Vancouver at your vehicle, 24 hours a day. We cut transponder keys, flip keys and push-to-start smart keys for most makes and models, including luxury and European vehicles, with no tow and no dealership appointment.

A modern car key carries an immobilizer chip that must match your vehicle before the engine will start, which is why a hardware-store copy will not work. Our van carries the cutting and programming equipment to do both jobs where the car is parked.

Keys we cut and program

  • Transponder keys with an immobilizer chip
  • Flip keys with remote buttons
  • Push-to-start smart keys and proximity fobs
  • Spare keys, when you still have a working one
  • All-keys-lost replacements

PRICE AND PREPARATION

What affects the cost of a car key, and what to have ready

The price depends on the key type (basic, transponder, flip or smart key), the make, model and year, whether a working key still exists to copy, and the time of day. We quote on the phone once we know the details, so you know what to expect before we set out.

Have ready: the make, model and year, the key type if you know it, how many working keys are left, and photo ID with proof of ownership, such as the registration or insurance document. We serve Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and the rest of Metro Vancouver. See all our service areas.

CLEAR ANSWERS

Car key replacement questions, answered

Straight answers from Luxury Automotive Locksmith LTD. More in our locksmith FAQs.

Most cars from the late 1990s on need more than a cut blade. The key’s chip has to be registered with the car, so a plain copy turns the lock but will not start the engine. We cut the blade and register the chip in one visit, at your car.

Four things: the type of key, the car’s make, model and year, whether any working key is left to copy, and the time of day. Give us the details on the phone and we quote a price before the van leaves.

Yes. With a working key to copy, a spare is quicker and simpler than starting from nothing after the last key goes missing. We cut the blade and register the new chip to your car at the same visit.

We still make you a key. Starting from the car itself, we cut a new blade and register a new chip key or smart key to the vehicle. Photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration or an insurance document, are needed first.

That depends on the car. On many models the lock, unlock and trunk buttons can be set up alongside the chip. Tell us which buttons matter to you and we confirm what your car supports.

In most cases no. The cutting and registering equipment rides in our van, so the work is done where the car is parked. If your car turns out to need dealer-only access, you hear that on the phone before any call-out.

Yes. Proximity keys and encrypted immobilizers on luxury and European cars are part of our regular work, including Bentley, Range Rover, Porsche, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. Give us the make, model and year and we confirm the job first.
