Barrhaven is a commuter suburb, so most car key calls here happen at either end of the working day. Consequently the vehicle is usually on a driveway or in a plaza car park rather than at home mid-afternoon.
What we get called for most
Lost keys top the list, followed by dead fobs and keys locked inside. Furthermore, Barrhaven has a lot of newer vehicles, which means proximity fobs rather than blade keys. Consequently programming rather than cutting is the bulk of the work here.
All keys lost, at the driveway
Losing every key sounds terminal but rarely is. Because keys are cut to a code held against the VIN, a replacement can be produced without an original. Consequently Urban Locksmith does this at the vehicle in Barrhaven rather than towing it anywhere. Naturally proof of ownership comes first.
Dead fobs and the hidden key
A flat fob presents exactly like a lockout, and most drivers do not know their fob contains a mechanical blade. Additionally most vehicles hide a keyhole under a cap on the driver's door handle. Therefore a two-dollar battery sometimes solves what looked like a callout.
Getting to you
Barrhaven is typically thirty to fifty minutes depending on the hour and the route. Consequently we give you a realistic window rather than a number chosen to win the booking. Moreover the rate is the same whether it is a Tuesday morning or a Sunday night.
