Key Types We Cut & Duplicate
Every vehicle uses a different key system based on its year and built-in security technology. Knowing your exact key type helps us cut and duplicate the right replacement quickly, professionally, and without any guesswork whatsoever. Super G&R handles all three main key types—mechanical, transponder, and smart proximity—with specialized equipment and factory-trained technicians for each system.
Mechanical Keys
Standard car door and ignition keys cost $25–$60 per copy. Fast, reliable, and essential when you have only one key. Most vehicles 2000+ have at least some mechanical locks even with smart systems.
Transponder Keys
Keys with embedded chips that communicate with your vehicle’s immobilizer run $85–$160 per copy, depending on make and model. We program each one to your specific vehicle so it starts the ignition. Popular on Honda, Toyota, Ford, Nissan and most vehicles 2005+
Smart Proximity Keys & Fobs
Keyless-entry fobs and push-button start systems cost $140–$210 per copy. These require precise programming and we handle the full calibration on-site. All BMW, Audi, Mercedes and newer Jeep/RAM models.
Why a Spare Key Is Cheaper Than a Lost-Key Emergency
A spare key cut today costs $25–$210 depending on type. A lost-key emergency forces you to call 24/7, pay a mobile dispatch fee ($80–$150), and have a key programmed the same day at premium rates (add $50–$100). A spare key kept at home or with a trusted friend eliminates that cost and stress — which is why Smart G&R recommends duplicating your key now, before you need it.
Makes & Models We Serve
We cut and duplicate keys for all major brands: Honda, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Jeep, RAM, Chevrolet, GMC, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Mazda, Volkswagen and more. Bring your original key or your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and we’ll handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you duplicate my car key without the original?
es. We can cut a new key using your VIN and vehicle information, but it’s faster if you have the original key with you so we can match it exactly. Either way, transponder and smart keys still need programming after cutting.
How long does key duplication take?
Mechanical keys take 10–15 minutes. Transponder keys take 20–30 minutes (cutting + programming). Smart keys and fobs take 30–45 minutes. All on-site, no waiting for mail delivery or dealer scheduling.
How much does it cost to duplicate a car key in Calgary?
Mechanical keys cost $25–$60. Transponder keys cost $85–$160. Smart keys and fobs cost $140–$210. Call (403) 461-7473 for an exact quote based on your vehicle make and key type.
Can you duplicate a key that’s broken or worn?
Yes. If your key won’t turn smoothly but still works, we can duplicate it. If it’s completely broken and won’t work in the ignition, we recommend replacement rather than duplication — call us for a diagnostic.
Do you offer 24/7 key duplication?
Yes. Super G&R’s mobile key-duplication service is available around the clock, 365 days a year. Call (403) 461-7473 anytime.
