Lost your car key somewhere in Burnaby — or down to one copy you really can't afford to misplace? We come to your location, cut a new key to your vehicle's lock profile, and program the transponder or fob on the spot. Most makes done in under an hour.
Car key replacement used to mean a tow truck, a dealership appointment, and a two-day wait. That's no longer the only option. When you call Fast Locksmith Burnaby, a technician drives to wherever your car is — a Metrotown parkade, a street in Burnaby Heights, a surface lot near BCIT on Canada Way, or your own driveway in Deer Lake — and handles the full job on-site. Key-cutting and programming equipment travels in the van.
One flat call covers everything listed here — we confirm the scope over the phone before we leave.
Prices depend on make, model, and key type. We quote on the phone before we send anyone out — no surprises on arrival.
| Key / Fob Type | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Basic laser-cut key (no chip) | $80 – $120 |
| Transponder key (chip, no remote) | $120 – $200 |
| Remote key fob (cut + programmed) | $180 – $280 |
| Proximity / smart key (push-start) | $250 – $420 |
| All keys lost (full re-program) | $280 – $500 |
| Duplicate spare (at same visit) | $60 – $150 |
Ranges apply to common vehicles in Burnaby and the Metro Vancouver area. Rare or older European models may fall outside these bands — we'll say so on the call before anyone drives out.
Year, make, model, and whether you still have a working key — that's enough to confirm the job and give you an honest price range before we leave. We'll let you know if your car is one of the rare models that needs dealer authorization, so there are no wasted trips.
Our mobile unit carries a blade-cutting machine, a full key-blank inventory, and OBD diagnostic and programming tools for most factory security systems. On arrival we verify the car's VIN and confirm ownership — a standard requirement that protects you as much as it protects us.
We cut the blade, program the transponder to your car's immobilizer, sync any fob buttons, and run a full test before calling the job done. If you asked for a spare, that gets cut and tested in the same visit. We collect payment on-site — Visa, Mastercard, or cash.
Burnaby drivers get stuck in underground parkades at Metropolis at Metrotown and Brentwood Town Centre, in the surface lots around BCIT and SFU Burnaby Mountain, on residential streets in Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights, and in the condo parkades along Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway. Mobile service reaches all of these — call us wherever the car is. If you're in a secured underground structure, let us know: we'll coordinate with building management or meet you at the lobby level.
Yes. Not all mobile locksmiths carry programming equipment. A key that turns in the ignition but doesn't communicate with the immobilizer won't start the car — you're still stranded. Our equipment covers Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Subaru, Nissan, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and most other makes common on BC roads. For European models like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, compatibility varies by year — we'll confirm before booking so there's no wasted visit.
All cutting and programming is done by a licensed locksmith. Transponder chips must be coded to your specific vehicle's system — a hardware-store duplicate blade will open the door but the engine won't crank.
