Lost Car Keys Melbourne – New Keys Made On The Spot
Lost all your car keys? No spare? We make new car keys from scratch at your location, 24/7 across Melbourne. No towing needed.
Losing every key to your car is one of the most frustrating situations a driver can face. The good news is you do not need to tow your car to a dealer and wait days. Locksmith Melbourne sends a mobile auto locksmith to wherever your car is – home, work, shopping centre or roadside – and makes a brand new working key on the spot. Call 03 8376 2399, 24 hours a day.
We open the car without damage, decode the lock to cut a new key blade, then program a new transponder chip or remote to your vehicle’s immobiliser. When we finish, the lost key can be erased from the car’s memory so it can no longer start the engine if someone finds it.
Lost car key replacement starts from $150 depending on your vehicle. Tell us the make, model and year and we will give you a fixed price on the phone.
How We Replace Lost Car Keys
1. Call us: give us your location, vehicle make, model and year. We confirm the price and send the nearest auto locksmith.
2. Proof of ownership: for security we check your licence and vehicle registration or ownership papers before making any key.
3. Entry and decoding: we open the car without damage and decode the lock to cut a brand new key blade.
4. Programming: we program the new transponder chip or remote to your car, and can delete the lost key from the immobiliser.
5. Test and spare: we test everything with you. We recommend a spare key on the same visit – it costs much less than another lost key later.
