Lost Car Key in Montreal: Dealership or Automotive Locksmith?

Key takeaway

A mobile locksmith can replace a car key on site. In Montréal or Laval, confirm compatibility, price and availability for your vehicle before booking.

To replace a lost car key in Montréal, compare options for your vehicle: compatibility, travel, total cost and availability. A mobile locksmith may be able to work on site; a dealership may also offer a suitable solution. Confirm the conditions before choosing.

What Should You Compare Before Choosing?

Cost: Ask for a quote for your vehicle and mention whether you still have a working key. Check what is included: key, cutting, programming, travel and taxes. Pricing depends on the vehicle and the work required.

Travel and availability: Ask the dealership whether the vehicle must be present and ask the locksmith whether the work can be done at your location. Confirm key availability and timing; same-day service is not guaranteed.

Compatibility: Provide the make, model and year. Cutting and programming options vary by vehicle and key type. Confirm that your vehicle can be serviced before travelling or booking.

Who Should You Contact?

The dealership: Check the options for your model and the terms of any applicable coverage or warranty. Vehicle age alone does not determine the best option.

Maître des Clés: Describe your situation and location to check mobile service availability in Montréal, Laval, the North Shore or the South Shore.

Keep both quotes and their conditions handy. Compare the total cost, travel requirements and confirmed availability before deciding.
