How it works
Frequently asked questions
Can you make a car key in Richmond without a tow?
In most cases yes. We cut and program keys at your vehicle, so you do not need to tow it to the dealer.
Do you need proof of ownership?
Yes. Bring your registration and ID so we can confirm the vehicle is yours before we make a key.
Can you make a spare as well?
Yes. We recommend making a spare while we are there, since it costs less than starting from zero again.
Do you serve Richmond?
Yes. Richmond is part of our service area. Call 604-734-7233 for the current arrival window.
What do I need to prove I own the car?
Typically your driver's licence and the vehicle registration or insurance showing the VIN. This protects you and prevents keys from being made for stolen vehicles.
How long does it take?
Once we are at the vehicle, many keys are cut and programmed in under an hour. Complex smart keys can take longer.
