Lost / Stolen Car Keys

In the event of your Car Keys being lost or stolen contrary to popular belief, there is no need to have your car towed to a dealer.

Nor is there any need to wait for 4 weeks for a key to arrive from overseas. Unlike some other Car Locksmiths, we also have no need to wait for key codes from dealers. We have a different specialised tool for every car make and model on Australian roads and the skills to use them which gives us the ability, once on site to supply a working remote key usually within an hour.

We understand that losing your car keys can be a stressful event and quite often can happen at an inopportune time. Therefore, we endeavour to make the process as simple as possible. Once you have called our Car Locksmith, they will communicate clearly an agreed price based on the cars location, year of manufacture, model and whether or not it is a turn to start key or a proximity key. They will then give you an accurate estimated time of arrival. They will also call you on approach and we never leave a valued customer stranded, so rest assured once you have made a booking you are in good hands.

This also includes cars with push to start/ proximity keys. All Car Keys, Car Remotes and Proximity keys come with a 5-year warranty.

In the event that your Car Keys have been stolen, in addition to programming a new remote key or proximity key to your car we also have the ability to delete the stolen Car Key from the cars computer rendering the stolen key inoperable.

Car Ignition, Door Locks & Ignition Switches

Key not turning in your car ignition or door lock?

One of our highly skilled Car Locksmiths can attend to your location and make an assessment of what is wrong.

With car ignition and door locks, there are several factors to consider in determining the actual problem, and this is nearly impossible to accurately assess over the phone or by sending pictures.

Sometimes the Car Key may be worn to the point that it longer will turn the ignition or door lock. In this case, we can supply cut and program a new car key to your vehicle onsite.

Other times the actual barrel and wafers inside have worn out to the point it no longer holds the key in the correct place enabling the cylinder to turn. In this instance, we would replace the lock and recode it to match the existing key.

Another common occurrence is the key will turn in the ignition all the way or just slightly. But the car will still not start. This can be a sign that the actual ignition switch on the back of the ignition cylinder has broken. This is common on Volkswagon, Holdens, Ford Falcon and Ford Territory. We keep a large range of switches in stock, so most times we will be able to get you back on the road the same day.

There are also occasions where there has been an attempted theft and the lock, housing and key reader may need to be replaced due to irreparable damage.

By making a booking our Car Locksmith can assess what is needed for the most cost effective solution for your car’s ignition lock, door lock or ignition switch.
