Automotive service

Focused on keys and fobs.

A specialized mobile service for drivers—not residential locks, storefront hardware, or a catch-all service list.

01

Spare keys & remotes

Add a second working key or remote while you still have one. It is usually the simplest, least stressful time to do it.

02

Key fob programming

Starting at $100

Programming for supported turn-key and push-button vehicles, completed on site at your vehicle.

03

All keys lost or only fob damaged

Starting at $200

Coverage and final price depend on the exact vehicle and key situation. You’ll get an honest answer before a visit is scheduled.

04

Replacement fob planning

Match the right fob to your vehicle, then confirm programming and cutting before the appointment.

05

Key cutting

Standard edge-cut and laser-cut blades, cut by code or duplicated from your existing key — done on site with professional equipment. No second stop at a cut shop.

At your home

For your own car.

No dealership trip, no tow truck, no handing your car over for the day. The work happens in your driveway, at your workplace, or wherever the vehicle is parked.

Spare keys, replacement fobs and all-keys-lost help for most makes are cut and programmed at your vehicle in a single visit. Spare keys and fob programming start at $100; all-keys-lost service starts at $200 — and the final quote is confirmed for your exact vehicle before anything is booked. Evenings and weekends are standard, because that's when most people are actually home with their cars.

Fleets & dealers

For fleets & dealers.

One missing key shouldn't idle a work truck. Farms, trades, towing yards and used-car lots get batch spare-key service at their own yard or lot — several vehicles in a single visit, one up-front quote.

See the fleets & dealers page

Recent work

Done at the vehicle, not at a counter.

Real jobs from the last few weeks — keys cut and programmed where the vehicle sat, at homes and at work yards.

Massive shoutout to Mobile Key & Fob Express! I lost my car keys and was dreading a huge towing bill to the dealership. They came straight to my driveway in Leamington and handled the complete mobile car key replacement on the spot. Fast, professional key fob programming, and way cheaper than the dealer. If you need a mobile auto locksmith or a replacement key fob in Leamington, this is the only company you should call!

No runaround

Three steps to a booked visit.

Identify the problem, confirm the vehicle fit, then arrange the mobile appointment—with the scope and price clear before the drive.

Send the vehicle details

Year, make, model, start type, key situation and town.

Get a coverage check

I confirm whether the job fits my equipment and tell you any key or cutting requirements.

Approve the quote

If it is a fit, we agree on the price and appointment before I head your way.

Don’t pay dealer prices

Get the spare before the only key is gone.

A properly matched and programmed spare can cost a fraction of dealer prices. Waiting until every key is lost can turn the same vehicle into a far more involved—and expensive—emergency.

Dealership costs add up fast: replacement remote-head fobs commonly start at $250 and can exceed $400; smart or proximity keys start at $300 and can exceed $800; programming labour starts at $100 an hour and can reach $200; and towing after every key is lost starts at $100. Here, fob programming starts at $100, while all-keys-lost service or replacing a damaged only fob starts at $200—quoted for your exact vehicle before booking.

Before you book

Straight answers.

The details that decide whether an automotive key job is simple, specialized, or outside current coverage.

Can you do every make and model?

No. Coverage depends on the exact year, model, ignition type and key situation. Send those details first and you’ll get a clear yes or no before anything is booked.

Is a spare key easier than replacing every lost key?

Usually, yes. If you still have one working key, adding a spare is often a simpler job than an all-keys-lost situation. That is why getting a spare before an emergency is worth considering.

Do you cut the key blade too?

Yes — blades are cut on site with professional equipment, both standard edge-cut and laser-cut, by code or duplicated from your existing key. Cutting and programming happen in the same visit, so there’s no second stop at a cut shop.

What should I have ready?

The vehicle, every working key or fob you still have, and proof that you are authorized to have a key programmed. Photo identification may be required.

Can I buy a fob online and have it programmed?

Sometimes, but frequency, FCC ID, chip type and vehicle compatibility all matter. Send the listing or fob details before ordering whenever possible; the wrong part cannot be fixed by programming.

Do you come to me?

Yes — the service is fully mobile. Key cutting and programming happen at your vehicle, whether that's your driveway, your yard, your workplace or a dealer's lot. I'm based in Chatham-Kent and also serve Sarnia-Lambton and Essex County; for trips outside Chatham-Kent, travel is confirmed in your quote before anything is booked.

How long does it take?

Most spare key and fob jobs are finished in a single visit, often in well under an hour once I'm at the vehicle. All-keys-lost jobs can take longer depending on the vehicle. You'll get a straight time estimate with your quote, before the appointment is set.

What do you need from me?

To check coverage and quote the job: your vehicle's year, make and model, whether it's turn-key or push-button, whether you still have a working key or all keys are lost, and your town. For the visit itself, I'll need the vehicle and its working key if one exists — bring every key you have for it.

What if I lost all my keys?

Don't book a tow to the dealer just yet. For most makes, a new key can still be made when every key is gone — all-keys-lost work starts at $200, with the final price depending on the exact vehicle. Send your year, make, model and town, and you'll get a clear yes or no, a firm quote and a time estimate before anything is scheduled.

Ready when you have the details

Send the vehicle. Get the honest answer first.

Year, make, model, turn-key or push-button, working key or all lost, and your town.
