Broken key, worn key, or a key that will not turn any more? We cut and program replacement car keys in Adelaide for a wide range of makes. That covers plain metal keys, transponder keys, remote and flip keys, and smart or proximity fobs.
You do not always need the dealer for a replacement. On most vehicles we can cut the key and program it to your car for less than dealer prices. The honest part is coverage. It varies by model and year, so the first thing we do is confirm your exact vehicle before we quote anything.
Text your make, model and year and we will tell you what your car needs and what it costs. We quote before any work starts, and every key is tested before we call it done.
Most car keys fall into a few types, and the type changes what the replacement job looks like. Knowing which one you have helps us quote you faster.
Cutting a key to fit the lock is only half the job on a modern car. The chip inside the key talks to the immobiliser. If that chip is not programmed to your vehicle, the key will turn but the engine will not start.
We program the transponder and, where fitted, the remote in the one visit. That is the difference between a key from a hardware kiosk and a key that actually starts your car.
If you are down to a single working key, get a spare made now rather than waiting. A spare programmed while you still have a working key is a simpler and cheaper job than starting from scratch after they are all gone.
If you have already lost every key, that is an all-keys-lost job. It is more involved, and we handle it, but it costs more than a straight spare. Either way, tell us where you stand and we will map it out plainly.
Two things keep a replacement moving. First, your registration or VIN, so we can check what your car needs. Second, photo ID, because we confirm you are the owner before we program any keys. That check keeps your car safe.
Every key we program is tested in front of you before we call it done.
If it does not pass, we do not call it done. You walk away with a key that works.
Text your make, model and year to the key line. We will confirm what your car needs and quote before any work starts.
