Remote Car Key Replacement and Smart Key Programming

Today’s vehicles rely on advanced electronics, and so do their keys. If you need remote car key replacement, our technicians are trained to work with encrypted chips, transponders, and immobilizer systems.
Our process includes:

  • Cutting and programming a new key fob
  • Erasing the lost fob from your car’s memory
  • Syncing the new remote with your vehicle’s onboard system
  • Testing all lock and ignition functions before we leave

This ensures that only your new key can start your car—restoring security and peace of mind.

Push-To-Start Key Replacement

Push-to-start key replacement is the process of replacing a lost or damaged key fob for a vehicle with a push-to-start ignition system. A push-to-start key is a type of electronic key that allows the driver to start the car with the press of a button, rather than inserting a physical key into the ignition.

If you have lost or damaged your push-to-start key, you will need to have a new one programmed to work with your vehicle. This process typically involves contacting a professional locksmith or dealership, who will use specialized equipment to program the new key fob to communicate with your vehicle’s computer.

Our Process 

Here at Mobile Ignition Repair, we know you are worried about leaving your car. We can come to your location and help get you back on the road quickly and at an affordable price. 

A professional automotive locksmith can interface with your car’s computer system and program a new key fob for you. And if your car key fob was lost, we will ensure that no one else can access your car.

Whether your fob is lost or damaged, we can help you get your car going again safely and securely.

FAQs

Absolutely. Our locksmiths have the expertise and tools to create tailored car keys. Car keys come in two main types: classic metal keys for older vehicles and modern car fobs. For traditional metal keys, our duplication machine creates exact copies, while digital keys require specialized codes and equipment. If you lose your car keys, our locksmiths can help.

The cost to replace a lost car key will vary depending on the make, model and age of your car. A traditional metal key will generally cost less than $10 to replace, while a digital car key will be more expensive. Once we have the necessary information to replace lost car keys, we can create a car key replacement or car key duplication.  Choosing our team is far less expensive than going to a dealer, who can often charge full cost for a key, anywhere between $300 and $500.

Remote Key: $80 to $125

Transponder Key: $200-$300

Smart Key Fob: $200-$300 / 2 Smart Key Fobs $350 (Combo Deal)

Emergency Key: $15

To replace your lost car keys, here are some factors to consider:

Age: If you have an older car model, you may only require a metal key, which can easily be duplicated.

Make and Model: The make and model of your car can also play a role in car key replacement. It may be more complicated or costly to replace high end car keys than an economic car.

Manufacturing origin: If you drive a vehicle that is not commonly found in Ontario, i.e. a European brand car, then you may have to wait for special parts to be ordered in order to replace your car key. 

Time of Day: If you need a key in the middle of the night, car key replacement may take longer than anticipated as local services may be closed.

No. Most car insurance companies will not replace a car key if it is lost. If the key is stolen or goes missing during the execution of a crime, then your insurance company may cover the cost. Talk to your insurance company about your policy limitations.

Yes it is possible to track your car keys depending on the vehicle make and model. Vehicles with more modern technology have tracking technology that allow you to monitor the location of your key. This is most commonly found on transponder keys and smart keys. You can connect it to an app that lets you know the location of your keys and your car at all times. Many keys can also remotely start or shut off your vehicle for further protection. Contact Mobile Ignition Repair to find out if your car keys are capable of this.
