january review & tip
"The buttons on my 2010 Chrysler Town & Country stopped working, they came to my home and programmed 2 for less then the price of 1 from the dealer" Bob G. of TecumsehWhen Bob G. from Tecumseh called, his 2010 Chrysler Town & Country key fobs had stopped working. The dealer wanted a steep price for just one replacement.
We came directly to Bob's home, diagnosed the issue, and reprogrammed both fobs on the spot—for less than the dealership's single-fob price.
Pro Tip: If your fob buttons fail after a battery change, reprogramming often fixes the issue affordably.

How Key Replacement Works – Our 5 Step Process
Car key replacement typically takes 30-60 minutes onsite. Our mobile BONDED, CERTIFIED & INSURED technician cut your new key using the VIN or lock decoding tools, programs the transponder or smart key to your vehicle computer, and tests all functions before leaving.
Year and Model
Contact us with the details of your vehicle, if its a push-to-start or transponder key, what issue you are having and where it is located.
Run Dealer Grade Diagnostics
Connect dealer grade OBD programmer to diagnose immobilizer status, check registered key count, and identify any Smart Key ECU communication issues.
Cut the Blade
We precision cut your new key blade onsite using your VIN or lock decoding tools on the existing lock. Every cut is verified for smooth operation.
Program & Register
Using dealer grade diagnostics, we program the transponder chip or smart key to your vehicle immobilizer system.
Test Everything
Verify all functions before leaving: remote lock/unlock, proximity detection, push-to-start, trunk release, panic button, and backup blade operation.
After service: All keys are fully tested onsite before we leave. 90-day warranty on our material included.

Most Lexus key replacements take 30-75 minutes onsite. This includes ownership verification, Techstream diagnostics, blade cutting, programming, and full function testing. All-keys-lost situations may take longer if ECU/BCM module recovery is required. We complete everything at your location—no need to tow to a dealership.
Yes. Canadian Locksmiths uses Toyota Techstream—the same diagnostic software Lexus dealerships use—for Smart Key programming, immobilizer pairing, and key erasure. We service all Lexus security systems including 4C/4D transponders, G-Type (DST80), and H-Type (DST-AES) Smart Keys. Mobile service means we come to you instead of requiring a tow to the dealer.
No towing required. Our mobile service comes to your location—driveway, workplace, or roadside—anywhere in Windsor and Essex County. We bring all equipment needed for all-keys-lost recovery including diagnostic tools, key cutting machinery, and blank Smart Key inventory. This saves you $150+ in towing costs plus dealership scheduling delays.
You need proof of ownership: valid vehicle registration, title, or insurance card showing your name matches the vehicle. We also need your VIN (visible through the windshield or on registration). This verification is required by law before any key programming service and protects you from vehicle theft.
