Lost car keys in Montréal: what to prepare before you call
You have checked your pockets, bag and kitchen counter, but the key is still missing. Before arranging a trip or a tow, have the replacement options confirmed for your vehicle. These are the details that help Clé Auto Services assess your request.
Tell us whether a working spare exists
Making a spare when you still have a working key is a different request from replacing all lost keys. Let us know if another key exists, even if a family member has it. Also mention if you still have a remote but it no longer starts the car.
Include these details in your first message
Vehicle make, model and year.
Whether you turn a key or use a push-button start.
Whether another working key is available.
The vehicle’s location and neighbourhood.
A photo of the old key, if you have one.
“2018 Toyota Corolla, keyed ignition, no remaining keys, vehicle in Anjou” gives us more to work with than “How much for a Toyota key?” This is an example of a useful enquiry, not a price or compatibility confirmation.
Confirm the arrangements before travelling
The car’s location matters when planning an appointment or mobile visit. Tell us whether it is in Saint-Léonard, Montréal-Nord, Rosemont or another area. Mobile service depends on the vehicle, location and availability; ask us to confirm it before making other arrangements.
Our workshop is at 4949 boulevard Métropolitain Est, unit 103, Saint-Léonard. Visits are by appointment. Ask which documents you should bring to establish that you are authorized to have a key made for the vehicle.
Check what the quote includes
Ask which key is being supplied, whether cutting and programming are included, and whether travel charges or taxes apply. A starting price is not a quote for every model. Make alone is not enough: the model year and key system can change the answer.
If the keys are locked inside the car, say so. Clé Auto Services does not provide car door unlocking. That situation should not be confused with replacing a lost key.
