Auto Locksmith in Port Coquitlam

We work on the car where it sits, so nothing gets towed. That means a Fremont Village lot, a Shaughnessy Street curb or your driveway: the van carries the cutting machine, the blanks and the programmer, and the key is finished before we leave.

Keys, fobs, lockouts and ignitions are one call in Port Coquitlam. There is no separate dispatch number for each of them.

Our van leaves the shop at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver and reaches most Port Coquitlam addresses in 35-50 minutes over Highway 1 and the Mary Hill Bypass.

You get the price on the phone before anyone is dispatched, and the technician confirms it at the door before starting work.

The van programs keys and fobs for Honda, Toyota, Ford, GMC, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru and Volkswagen, plus Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, Buick, Cadillac, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Volvo.

European luxury keys (Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover) are done too, at the $400-$900 band, and a few of the newest push-to-start systems are checked against the vehicle before we book so there are no surprises in Port Coquitlam. Per-make detail lives on the automotive locksmith pages.

A car lockout in Port Coquitlam is opened with wedges and long-reach tools, not a slim jim through the door skin, so the wiring and the weather seals stay intact. Most cars open in a few minutes once the technician is on site.

If the key is locked in the trunk or the fob battery has died inside the car, say so on the phone. That changes the tools we bring, not the price.

A key that turns hard, sticks halfway or will not return from start is usually a worn ignition cylinder rather than a worn key. We rebuild or replace the cylinder at the vehicle in Port Coquitlam and code it to your existing key so you do not end up carrying two.

Where the fault is the immobiliser rather than the lock, we say so before charging for a cylinder you did not need.

Programming is included in every figure below. There is no separate coding fee bolted on at the end.
