Every key lost, the car locked, and the battery dead. In the evening, with the car needed the next morning.

2012 Honda Civic. Three problems stacked on top of each other, and they have to be solved in order.

The car has to be open first — nothing else is possible until then. That was an air wedge, no damage to the door. Then the key gets cut. Then the battery, because a car with no power can't be programmed at all; plenty of people don't realize those two are connected. Once it had power, the key went in and got programmed. All the buttons worked. The car started.

One visit. No tow, no dealership appointment, and the owner had the car for the next day as planned.

Here's the honest takeaway: this job exists because there was no spare. If you're down to one key, a second one made now costs a fraction of this in both time and money — and it happens on your schedule instead of at 8 PM on a weeknight.

Ownership check on every job — registration plus matching photo ID. That's what a legitimate locksmith does.

Price by text or WhatsApp before I drive out, and it doesn't go up on-site. No Fix = No Pay.

A 2021 vehicle sounds like a dealership job. This one took twenty minutes in the driveway.

Chevrolet Trailblazer, spare key. Five minutes to cut the blade, fifteen to program it to the car. One visit, no tow, no appointment, and the existing key kept working throughout.

I bring it up because the most common reason people don't have a spare is that they assume it's a whole production — a day without the vehicle and a bill to match. On plenty of cars, newer ones included, it's the length of a coffee break.

The version you don't want is the other one. Lose your last key and it becomes an all-keys-lost: more time, more cost, and the car isn't moving until I get there.

Price by text or WhatsApp before I drive out, and it doesn't go up on-site. No Fix = No Pay. Second key 50% off at the same visit.

When every key is gone, the only thing that knows what your key looks like is the lock.

2009 Chevrolet Equinox, all keys lost. No spare, nothing to copy. So the lock gets decoded, and the cuts come from that.

Then two keys, not one. On an all-keys-lost I always cut a pair — otherwise the owner drives away with a single key again, which is exactly the situation that caused this call in the first place.

The battery was dead on top of it, so the car got jumped before any electronics work could start. A car with no power can't be programmed at all; those two things are connected more often than people expect. After that, two keys and two remotes programmed to the vehicle.

Here's the honest takeaway: this job exists because there was no spare. If you're down to one key, a second one made now costs a fraction of this, and it happens on your schedule instead of on a day when nothing else is going right.

If your car is twenty years old, the spare key conversation is a different one.

2002 Lexus SC430. The owner had one working key, so it was the straightforward version: cut the blade, program the transponder chip to the car, then teach the remote its lock, unlock and trunk buttons.

Here's why it matters on a car this age. Dealers stop stocking keys for discontinued models. Lose your last one and you're not only paying more — you're waiting while someone tracks the part down. Making the spare while the good key still works skips all of that.

Only one key for your car? That's the call to make before something goes wrong, not after.

2013 Nissan Rogue, spare remote-head key — the cut key and the remote built into one piece. The owner still had one working key, so it was the straightforward version: cut the blade, program the key to the vehicle, test it. Cold morning, but that's what mobile means — the car stays put and I come to it.

Worth knowing about this key type: because the remote lives in the head of the key, losing it means losing both at once. There's no spare fob sitting in a drawer somewhere.

Lose your last key and it's an all-keys-lost job: more time, more cost, and you're not driving until I get there.

Good company on this one, too — the owner and her friends made a cold start to the day a lot better.

"Will the remote start still work?" It's the question I get most, and it's a fair one.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze, spare key. Five minutes to cut the blade, twenty to program, $160. Every button tested before I packed up — lock, unlock, trunk, panic, and remote start. All working.

Here's why people ask. A lot of aftermarket keys end up with a dead remote start button, either because the part is wrong for the car or because nobody checked before leaving. Winnipeg in January is not the month to find that out.

So I test every function on-site, in front of you. If something doesn't work, you know while I'm still there — not next week.

Honest caveat: not every vehicle and key combination keeps remote start. It depends on the car, the year, and the part. Send me a photo of the back of your key and your VIN and I'll tell you straight what will and won't work on yours, before I drive out.

The owner here still had a working key, which keeps this fast and cheap. Lose your last one and the same car becomes an all-keys-lost job with a lot more time and cost behind it.

Ten minutes. $160. That's what a spare key for a 2011 Dodge Ram costs you in time and money.

Blade cut, key programmed to the truck, remote and ignition tested — all of it in the driveway. The owner had a working key, the truck programs straight through the OBD port, and the cut takes under a minute.

I bring this one up because the most common thing I hear is "I kept meaning to get a spare made." People picture a dealership appointment, a day without the truck, a big bill. On a lot of vehicles — this one especially — it's ten minutes in your own driveway while you finish your coffee.

The version of this job you don't want is the other one. Lose your last key and it becomes an all-keys-lost: more time, more cost, and the truck isn't going anywhere until I get there.

Prices vary by vehicle and key type. Message me a photo of the back of your key and your VIN and I'll give you the exact number before I drive out — and it doesn't go up on-site.

It rained the entire job. The keys still got made.

2012 Subaru Outback, two spare keys. The customer supplied his own blanks, so this was cutting and programming — both keys cut, both programmed to the vehicle, remote buttons and ignition tested. $200 for the pair.

People ask whether weather stops a mobile locksmith. It doesn't. The cutting machine and the programmer both live in my vehicle, so the work happens wherever your car is — your driveway, a work parking lot, the side of the road. Rain makes it slower and wetter. That's about it.

He still had a working key, which is the version of this job you want. Lose your last one and the same Outback becomes an all-keys-lost: more time, more cost, and you're not driving until I get there.

Prices vary by vehicle and key type, and by whether you bring your own. Message me a photo of the back of your key and your VIN and I'll give you the exact number before I drive out — it doesn't go up on-site.

The cheapest time to get a spare smart key is while you still have one that works.

2018 Chevrolet Equinox. The owner had one working key and wanted a backup before something went wrong. I cut the emergency blade hidden inside the fob, programmed the new key to the vehicle, and tested everything — lock, unlock, remote start, push-to-start. About 40 minutes in the driveway. $230.

Lose that last key instead and the same Equinox becomes an all-keys-lost job: more time, more work, a bigger bill, and you're stuck until I get there.

Thirty minutes from when I pulled up to when the key was in the owner's hand. $170.

2014 Honda CR-V, spare key. Blade cut, key programmed to the vehicle, remote buttons and ignition tested — all of it in the driveway.

The reason it's that quick is that the owner still had one working key. That's the version of this job you want. Lose your last key and the same CR-V becomes an all-keys-lost: starts at $200, takes a lot longer, and you're stuck until I get there.

If you drive a Honda and you're down to one key, this is a half-hour errand. There's no reason to put it off.
