Common questions
How much does it cost to replace a car key?
Spare keys start at $150. Pricing for new key replacement (where no original exists) depends on your make, model, and key type — we give you a clear, fixed quote on the phone before any work begins. No surprise fees.
Do you handle smart keys and push-button start vehicles?
Yes. Proximity keys, smart fobs, push-button start systems, and transponder & immobiliser programming are all part of our standard service. We work on modern vehicles every day.
Can you make a key if I've lost all my originals?
Yes. For most makes and models we can cut and program a brand new key from scratch, even when no original keys remain. Call us with your year, make and model and we'll confirm what's possible for your vehicle.
What suburbs do you cover?
We service all of Eastern, South-Eastern and Bayside Melbourne — including Glen Waverley, Box Hill, Brighton, Frankston, Caulfield, Oakleigh, Doncaster, Mount Waverley, Springvale, Clayton, Camberwell and 100+ other suburbs. If you're not sure we cover your area, give us a quick call.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes — same-day mobile callouts 7 days a week, 7am to 10pm. Most jobs are completed on-site within 30 to 60 minutes of our arrival.
