Automotive & Car Keys

Automotive locksmithing has moved well beyond cutting a blade. Most vehicles now use transponder chips, remote fobs or proximity keys that must be programmed to the car before they will start it.

Automotive services

Before attending we ask for your vehicle's make, model and year, and whether the key is a plain blade, a remote fob or a proximity key. Some vehicles require dealer-only equipment; if yours is one of them, we tell you on the phone rather than charging you a callout to find out.

  • Vehicle lockouts with non-destructive entry tools
  • Spare key cutting and transponder programming
  • Remote and fob replacement or reprogramming
  • Key replacement when all keys are lost
  • Broken key extraction from door locks and ignitions

Why a spare is worth it

Cutting a spare while you still have a working key is far cheaper than an all-keys-lost job, which can require reprogramming the vehicle's immobiliser from scratch. If you are driving on a single key, that is the one to fix on a quiet weekday rather than at midnight in a car park.

Proof of ownership

For any key cutting or programming work we need to see evidence you are entitled to the vehicle — typically your driver licence together with the registration certificate or comparable documentation. This is standard practice and exists to prevent vehicle theft.

Common questions

Do you work on all makes and models?
We cover a wide range of common Australian-market vehicles. Some prestige and very recent models are restricted to dealer equipment. We check before dispatch.
Can you get into my car if my keys are locked inside?
In most cases yes, using tools designed to open vehicles without damaging the door, glass or weather seals.
