Started in 2021 with a small van and a lockout kit
George Foster had years in the locksmith trade behind him when he started Foster's in 2021. He began with a small van, a lockout kit, a few tools and one idea: bring the shop to you.
That way you get your keys sorted without the hassle, expense and stress of going through the dealership. It's still George who answers the phone and does the work.
Thank you, Nova Scotia, for supporting a small local business. May the keys be with you.

All 646 reviews on Google (opens in a new tab)If you have issues with locks or keys for your motorcycle, call Foster's High Tech first. I have a 2012 Ducati Diavel and had to replace a lost key fob. Neither Ducati dealership was able to cut the key to match my locks. … Foster's was able to laser cut my key to match and even came to my house to do it. Prompt, courteous, professional and got the job done.
Never had to replace a car key before, was very anxious about the potential hassle, but George made it very easy for me and as stress-free as something that stressful can be. He also offered me a cheaper key option just to get me going until I could afford the more expensive option… 10/10 would recommend!
He was right on time, very affordable, and best of all he actually answers his calls and returns messages quickly. I highly recommend Foster to anyone who needs car key services. You won't be disappointed!
Contacted them on a Sunday afternoon and had new keys/fobs by noon Monday. Top notch service at a very reasonable price. Great to deal with and highly recommended this company to anyone in need.
I suddenly could not get my key in the ignition… I called my mechanic and he highly recommended George. I called him, and he instantly made me feel more at ease. … He walked me through everything I should try and was very patient with me while I did.
Down to your last key?
Getting a spare made while one key still works is quick and easy. Losing the last one in a snowbank isn't. Call or text and we'll come to you.
