Why You Need a Spare Car Key

The average emergency car key replacement in Ottawa costs $150–$400 when all keys are lost. A spare key made while you still have a working original costs significantly less — because we can program it alongside the existing key rather than using more complex all-keys-lost procedures.

Types of Spare Keys We Duplicate

We duplicate all car key types: standard transponder keys, remote head keys (fob+blade), smart keys/proximity fobs, and mechanical non-chip keys (older vehicles). For restricted high-security keys, we can cut and program from the VIN without a physical duplicate.

Where to Keep Your Spare

Best option: a trusted family member's home. A lockbox at your property (not in the car) is another option. Whatever you choose, don't keep the spare in the car itself.
