All keys lost
Lost every car key?
A new key can be made and programmed at your car, even with no working key left. Fixed quote before anything is ordered.
- I come to you, Melbourne-wide
- Fixed price before ordering
- No fix, no charge on keys I supply
- Owner ID checked on every job
How it works
When no working key is left, the car has to be put into programming mode without one. On many makes that is done through the diagnostic port. Some need the security PIN read from the car first.
Everything is priced up front. If your car needs something my equipment doesn't cover, you hear that before anything is ordered.

Questions people ask
Do I need to tow the car to a dealer?
Not for supported cars. I program the new key at the car, wherever it's parked.
Does all-keys-lost cost more?
A little. Programming is $70 per key plus a $30 all-keys-lost fee. Some makes need the security PIN read first (from $100, quoted before booking), and a locked car needs opening first ($180).
Can you do it today?
Possibly. Some cars can take a universal key, so same-day service may be possible. Otherwise the new key is ordered for your car, which takes 10–15 days. Send your VIN and photos of any old key you still have so I can check.
