Mobile automotive locksmith in Winnipeg — I make car keys where you're parked. No tow needed.

Text your year/make/model and where the car is — I'll reply with a written quote and a realistic ETA. I don't pad it to sound fast or promise a number I can't keep. I'm one person: every day, 7 a.m.–9 p.m. (Winnipeg time). Between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. I can still come out for a flat $75 after-hours fee on top of the regular price, plus tax — or book you for the morning with no after-hours fee.

Year, make, model. What you need (spare, all-keys-lost, lockout, fob). Where the vehicle is. A photo of any existing key helps. Takes 30 seconds to text.

Yes — for anything except some lockouts. I need ID and the registered owner present for key generation and all-keys-lost work. It's an insurance and ownership-verification requirement, not me being difficult.

Government photo ID matched to vehicle ownership proof — vehicle registration (paper or PDF), or proof-of-insurance in your name. If the car's not in your name, I'll sort the authorization out with you before I head over. If everything is locked inside, I open the car first and you retrieve the documents from the glovebox before any key work starts.

It depends on why. If the vehicle has a fault or condition on its end — a security lockout, unresponsive immobilizer, or something specific to that car that wasn't apparent before I arrived — a $45 + tax trip fee applies for the trip and diagnostic. If the key doesn't program because of something on my end and the vehicle is otherwise fine, you don't pay anything. I don't take payment until the key cuts, programs, starts the car, and operates the locks.

Yes — 1 year on parts I supply against manufacturer defects. If a key or fob I provided fails from a defect within 12 months, I replace it at no charge. The warranty does not cover water damage or physical damage (dropped, run over, bent, cracked). Parts you supplied yourself are not covered — that warranty sits with the seller. My programming work is covered by the pay-after-it-works guarantee: if the key doesn't work when I'm done, you don't pay. Full details on my warranty policy.

E-transfer, tap (debit/credit), or cash. Receipt every time. Payment happens after the work, not before.

Not right now. I'm focused on automotive — keys, fobs, lockouts, programming. If you need house or office work, I'll point you to someone in Winnipeg who's good at it.

Locksmith licensing in Canada varies by province — Alberta requires one, BC licenses locksmiths but carves motor-vehicle lock work out of that licence, and Manitoba and most other provinces don't. So "licensed locksmith" as a marketing claim in Manitoba doesn't refer to a verifiable provincial credential. What does matter for an ownership-verified vehicle key job: my ownership-verification process before any key is cut, my business registration with Manitoba, and reviews from real customers.

Nights, yes — as a callout, not as an always-on promise. My set hours are 7 a.m.–9 p.m., every day (Winnipeg time). Between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. I can come out for a flat $75 after-hours fee on top of the job's regular starting price, plus tax. If it can hold until morning, text me and I'll book you with no after-hours fee — and I'll tell you honestly which one makes sense for your situation.

A spare cut and programmed at your car starts at $90+ plus tax for a transponder key, $160+ for a remote or flip key, and $180+ for a push-to-start smart key. Lost every key? All-keys-lost starts at $280+ plus tax. A car lockout is $75 plus tax. I text you the exact written price before I head out — the number I send is the number you pay. Text your year/make/model to 204-599-5117 to get yours.

Yes — that's the all-keys-lost job. I come to the car, verify ownership (photo ID matched to registration or insurance), and cut and program a brand-new key on-site, from $280+ plus tax (smart keys from $350+). No tow and no dealer wait — most makes on the road, and you watch the new key start the car before you pay.

A car lockout is a flat $75 plus tax — I open the door damage-free at your car, anywhere in Winnipeg, with a written text quote before I drive out. No tow, and you pay after the door is open. Full details on the car lockout page. Locked out right now? Text or call 204-599-5117 with where you're parked.

If a child or pet is locked inside, call 911 first — Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service is faster and free for that. Otherwise, text or call Leo at RAXO Locksmiths in Winnipeg at 204-599-5117 — I'm a solo mobile auto locksmith who drives to you for an emergency car lockout, not a call centre. Send your year/make/model and where you're parked and I'll text back a firm price (a standard car lockout is $75 plus tax) and an honest ETA before I head out, and you pay once the door is open.
