I’m a mobile auto locksmith — I do every job at your car. Keys, fobs and most push-to-start smart keys are cut, programmed and tested on the spot.

Andy did a great job when I needed new programmed keys for my 2016 F150. He was able to connect the remote start too! All for a reasonable price without having to leave my house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gaucho Keys to any friends and family.
Thank you so much🙏🏼, I appreciate it I like your job ...
I highly recommend Gaucho Keys! Excellent service from start to finish. I lost my truck keys and had no spare, and he helped me get the situation sorted out professionally. He was friendly, reliable, and made the whole process much less stressful. It’s great to find a locksmith who knows what they’re doing and takes care of their customers. If you ever need a locksmith in Winnipeg, I definitely recommend Gaucho Keys. Thanks again for the great service!
Andy went above and beyond, taking the time to troubleshoot a challenging key replacement. Recommended.
Quick and very responsive. I had a key fob next day after speaking with Andy. Came right to my work and did the job within minutes. Highly recommend!
Andrew was everything everyone has already said! He is quick, courteous, knowledgeable, polite, and no surprises. I highly recommend this young man and his business.
Professional, personable, and awesome service! Very fair pricing and easy to communicate with. I recommend to anyone who also looses their keys lol
The technician showed up within 10 minutes of my confirmation for the work. He made sure it was working properly before he left. Very professional. I would definitely use them again
Great service! Very fast and professional. Came right to my door and work was done in 30mins. Definitely recommend and will use this service again.
Excellent work totally recommend this dude
I lost 2 fobs . Able to get me 2 new fobs . Very friendly, fast service and reasonable price. Very happy with service highly recommend
Professional, Great price and great customer service. Great guy all the way. I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for key cutting and programming.
Andy was prompt and great to deal with! His prices were very reasonable! Cut and programmed 2 extra keys for my Jeep TJ!
Andy is fabulous. From the time I texted him to the time he came and did my fob and cut the key was seamless, professional and incredible customer service. We made a time, he came here and ensured I was 100% satisfied before he left. The price quoted was respected and there was no nickel and timing which I have encountered with other businesses. He is your go to guy who is heads above others in his industry..as he actually 'cares' about his customer's satisfaction. Great experience, fair pricing and all positive...
Great service
5* experience hands down. Met me short notice. Worked out a price we were both happy with. Made me 2 flawless keys. Thank you..
Friendly guy got me 2 keys done at reasonable price. Messaged at 9 am got my keys at 12pm
If there were 6 stars , id give him 6 stars.
Andy is a lifesaver. I had one broken fob and one lost fob, so needless to say my SUV wasn't going anywhere. I messaged Andy and he gave me an exact price and came to my residence the very next day. The mobile service is very much appreciated. It took about 30 minutes and he had two new fobs programmed and he ensured both worked with all functions. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars, the service was stellar and he is very personable and friendly.
Great friendly service along with really good pricing! Highly recommend
so helpful and professional, outstanding work and really appreciated. 100% recommend if you need a locksmith you should give them a call!
I am so thrilled to have a working van key again. Andrew was so helpful and knowledgeable with replacing and programming and cutting the new key for my van. Communication was great and he actually showed up a few minutes before our agreed time, which is rare nowadays!
Very fast and friendly service! Very accommodating of our schedule and cut the key in no time. Highly recommended!
Found Andrew on FB Marketplace. Communication was timely and appointment was convenient! If you want great quality service, integrity, and trust! Give him a call!
I lost one of my car keys and only had one left, so I was really stressed. Andrew handled everything perfectly - he cut and programmed a new key for my Honda Civic in just about 10-15 minutes.
Great fast and friendly service, got 2 keys cut.
Very nice man and knowledgeable... highly recommend! Did both vehicles!!!
I had a very good experience using the service. Everything went well and done as promised! I'm giving 5 stars.
Excellent communication and service. Highly recommend.
Andy is very professional, responsive, communicates very well and provides quick service. Highly recommended.
Andy was very good with a challenging 2006 Mazda 6. Unfortunately my key was very worn for a true copy and he burnt through many keys trying to establish the right copy to no avail. Finally Andy called the Mazda company and received the proper code. Very reasonable prices and great quality!! Thank you Andy!
The service was great and speedy, will be letting a lot of people know about this company.
Very pleased with the service from Gaucho keys, they were on time. Communication was excellent, they came right to my driveway and programmed my Toyota RAV4 key. I will definitely use their service again, highly recommend!!
I would highly recommend the service. Arrived at my house on time and completed the job in the time he stated it would be done. Very professional.
Gaucho keys arrived onsite, on time and provided our replacement key in a timely manner. Very professional. Very knowledgeable.
Gaucho are amazing. Their service is fast and reliable. Great communication. Definitely a service I would recommend to anyone needing professional work done.
Thorough and professional, fixed my fob issue and got my car going again. Also affordable!!

Want the same for your car? Send me the year, make and model and I’ll text you the price:
Message me on WhatsApp, texttext or call +1 (204) 406-1801, or Messenger or text +1 (204) 406-1801 — I reply from 8 AM — or send the form below.
Tell me the year, make and model — I may also ask for your VIN (vehicle identification number) or a photo of your key, so I bring the right one. I text you the price before I drive out, and we pick a day and time that suit you. The price I text is the price you pay: it never goes up on-site for the car and key you described.
I show up at the time we agreed and do the whole job on-site — cut, program and test the key. Most jobs take 20–60 minutes at your car. Have the vehicle registration and a matching photo ID at the car — I check them on every job (what counts).

Andy — locksmith, Gaucho Keys, Winnipeg
Hey, I’m Andy. I moved to Canada from Ukraine in 2024, and keys are kind of my thing. I’ve been working with keys, fobs and electronic access systems for 9 years — it’s what I know best, and I take every job seriously.
I started Gaucho Keys because I wanted to do this the right way — come to you, be straight about the price, and actually fix the problem the first time. No runaround, no hidden fees.
— Andy
I answer your messages and calls myself, and I cut, program and test your key. No subcontractors.
A legally registered Manitoba business, No. 10238113 — verifiable with the Manitoba Companies Office.
No tow, and for most cars no waiting on a parts order — I come to the car and you get the total price before I drive out. See how the prices compare.
Gaucho Keys is my one-person mobile auto locksmith business: I cut and program car keys and fobs and open locked cars right where the car is parked. I serve Winnipeg and the towns around it, out to Selkirk, Stonewall, Oakbank, Niverville and Gimli, 7 days a week, 8 AM–9 PM. My starting prices, taxes included: car lockout from $150, spare keys from $150 (chip keys and fobs start at $160), all keys lost from $200. Inside Winnipeg there is no travel fee; for towns outside the city I charge $2 per km from the Winnipeg city limit, and it is part of the total price I give you before I set out. No Fix = No Pay, and a 1-year warranty on my work.

Don’t see your badge? I work on North American, Japanese and Korean vehicles, plus Jaguar and Land Rover — not German makes (VW, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche), Mini or Volvo. Send me the year, make and model and I’ll tell you yes or no.

My prices start at $150 for a car unlock or a spare key, $160 for a chip key or fob, and $200 for all keys lost — taxes included. The final price depends on your vehicle make, model and key type and, outside Winnipeg, the distance. Send me your car details and I’ll give you the exact total before I set out — no surprises.
Yes. Gaucho Keys is a fully mobile auto locksmith — I come to you anywhere in Winnipeg and the surrounding region. Whether you’re at home, at work, in a parking lot, or stuck on the roadside, I do the job on-site. There’s no need to tow your car anywhere.
Because I cover the wider Winnipeg area and may be on another job, I won’t promise an exact time — message me on WhatsApp or Messenger (or call +1 (204) 406-1801+1 (204) 406-1801, 8 AM–9 PM) and I’ll tell you honestly when I can be there.
In Winnipeg, no — I come to you at no extra charge and you pay only for the result. For towns outside the city I charge $2 per km from the Winnipeg city limit to your town, and it is part of the total price I give you before I set out, so it is never a surprise on arrival. Either way, if the job cannot be done, you pay nothing.
Even with no key at all, on most cars I make a brand-new one at your car — I read the vehicle’s data, cut the blade and program the chip on-site. A few newer models I can’t always do with every key gone, so send me the year and VIN first, and I tell you before I drive out whether it is one I can do. It takes a bit longer than a spare, and I’ll need your registration plus matching photo ID. On some cars I can erase a lost or stolen key from the car’s memory while I program the new one, as part of the same total price — I tell you before I start whether it works on yours. Erasing works on the chip only: the lost key’s metal blade can still open the door locks.
Yes — every car key and fob I supply, cut and program comes with a 1-year warranty. If it fails on its own from a defect within the first year, I repair or replace it free. The warranty covers defects in the key or fob I supply and in my work — not physical or water damage, a lost or stolen key, a dead fob battery, a key or fob you supplied yourself, or a fault in the vehicle itself. The original key has to be presented for assessment.
