How it works

  1. Call or text us your car’s make, model and year (or the rego) and where the car is.
  2. We come to you with the key blanks and programming equipment in the van.
  3. We cut and program a new key to your car, test it, and can remove the lost keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start the car.

All keys lost — what we can do

  • New transponder keys, remote keys and smart (push-start) keys cut and programmed on site.
  • Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Honda, Subaru, Suzuki and most Japanese imports, plus many European and Korean cars.
  • Quality aftermarket keys, or original Japanese keys reset to new — we’ll tell you the options and the price before we start.
  • Lost or stolen keys can be deleted from the car’s immobiliser for peace of mind.
  • A few vehicles need the key programmed on the bench — if yours is one of them, we’ll tell you upfront.

What to have ready

  • Your car’s rego, or make, model and year.
  • Photo ID and proof that the car is yours — we always check before making a key.
  • Where the car is parked (suburb or address).

Lost or stolen keys are often covered by comprehensive car insurance — see how insurance claims work.

    FAQ

    Do I need to tow my car to a dealer?

    No. We’re a mobile locksmith — we bring everything to your car and make the key where it is.

    How long does it take?

    Most keys are cut and programmed on the spot. How quickly we get to you depends on where you are and how busy we are — call and we’ll give you a time.

    How much does a new key cost?

    It depends on the car and the type of key (transponder, remote or smart key). Text us your rego and we’ll give you a price before we start. Afterpay is available.

    Can you stop my lost key from starting the car?

    Yes, on most cars we can remove lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser when we program your new one.

    When other well-known locksmiths, including Armstrong Ross and Galt, declined the call-out, this locksmith came to the rescue. He went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service, arriving promptly and fully equipped with electronic diagnostics and key-cutting equipment. He was honest, reliable, and not afraid to get his hands dirty to find the right solution. His professionalism, organisation, and determination to get the job done were second to none. If you're looking for a locksmith who genuinely cares about helping people and will go the extra mile, this is your guy. We highly recommend his services and will definitely be sending more business his way. Thank you for the outstanding service!
