Mobile auto locksmith in East Selkirk
The car might be in a driveway near the schools, in the arena lot on Strathcona Road or outside the municipal office on Kittson Road. A lost key, a dead fob or a door locked with the keys inside is sorted out where it is parked, and the drive over is counted into one price you hear first.
East Selkirk sits on the east bank of the Red River, directly across from the city of Selkirk and about 29 km from the Winnipeg city limit by road. The ways up are Highway 59 on the east side, or PR 204, known as Henderson Highway from Winnipeg as far as PR 509, which follows the east bank north through Lockport before it crosses into Selkirk on the lift bridge at Eaton Avenue; PR 212 runs from PR 204 east through the community and out to Highway 59.
It is an unincorporated community in the RM of St. Clements, whose office is here at 1043 Kittson Road, and the Selkirk Lift Bridge, built in 1935–36 to replace a ferry, still carries PR 204 across the river.
Day to day, the places a car sits here are ordinary ones: Happy Thought School (K–4) at 659 Quarry Road, East Selkirk Middle School (grades 5–8) at 1140 Strathcona Road, the East Selkirk Recreation Centre arena at 75 Strathcona Road, the St. Stanislaus and Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic parishes, and the driveways and yards in between.
I cover East Selkirk, on the east bank of the Red River. It is outside the city, so the travel fee is $2 per km from the Winnipeg city limit to East Selkirk, folded into one all-in figure you get before I set out — nothing is added when I pull up.
What I do on-site
- On-site anywhere in East Selkirk — a driveway near Quarry Road or Strathcona Road, the arena lot at 75 Strathcona Road, the municipal office on Kittson Road, or the shoulder of PR 212 or PR 204. No tow across the bridge.
- Keys cut and programmed at the car — spares, lost keys, lockouts, fobs and transponder (chip) keys, whether it is a family SUV in a school lot or a pickup in a yard out along PR 212. Most makes and models, older cars included.
- Price first, no call-out fee — car lockout from $150, spare, chip key or fob from $160, smart / push-to-start from $170, all keys lost from $200, taxes included. East Selkirk is outside Winnipeg, so a travel fee sits inside that figure and you hear the total before I leave. Payment only once the key works or the door is open.
- Second key at half price — for the same car, cut at the same visit, with a 1-year warranty on the work. A household sharing one key is a single loss away from an all-keys-lost job, which starts from $200 rather than $160.
- 8 AM to 9 PM, every day — holidays included, so a Saturday at the arena and a weeknight in the driveway both fit. Call, text or WhatsApp +1 (204) 406-1801.

Before any work, I always check your vehicle registration and a matching photo ID. It is a standard part of how I work — to confirm the vehicle is yours and keep everything above board.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you come to East Selkirk?
- Yes. I'm a mobile auto locksmith, so I come to the car wherever it is in East Selkirk — a driveway off Quarry Road, the arena lot on Strathcona Road, a yard along PR 212 or the shoulder of PR 204 on the way up from Lockport. Nothing has to be towed into Selkirk or Winnipeg. East Selkirk is outside Winnipeg, so a travel fee is part of the price, and you get the full, all-in figure before I set out. Tell me the year, make and model, and once the price suits you we pick a day and time.
- When can you reach East Selkirk?
- Any day of the week from 8 AM to 9 PM, holidays included. East Selkirk is on the east bank of the Red River, across from Selkirk, so when I can be there depends on the drive and on what else is booked that day; the travel fee for the distance is already inside the one price I quote before leaving. Call or message +1 (204) 406-1801 and you get an honest answer about timing.
- Can you come to the arena or the schools on Strathcona Road and Quarry Road?
- Yes. The East Selkirk Recreation Centre at 75 Strathcona Road, East Selkirk Middle School at 1140 Strathcona Road and Happy Thought School at 659 Quarry Road all have lots where the work is done right at the car. The two Strathcona Road addresses are separate sites, so tell me which building the car is beside and roughly where in the lot, and send a photo of the key on WhatsApp if you can.
- What can you do on-site in East Selkirk?
- Everything a key job needs is done at the car: a spare cut and programmed, a new key when every key is gone, a locked door opened, a fob or chip key set up to the vehicle. On this side of the river that is as likely to be a yard out along PR 212 as a lot beside the rink. Most makes and models, older cars included.
- How much does it cost in East Selkirk?
- In East Selkirk a car lockout starts from $150, a spare, chip key or fob from $160, a smart / push-to-start key from $170 and all keys lost from $200, taxes included. The travel fee is $2 per km from the Winnipeg city limit to East Selkirk; it is part of the all-in price I give you before I set out, and you pay only once the key works or the car is open. Some makes cost more, and the pricing page lists the rest.
