How much does a car key cost in Melbourne?
A key without a remote is $189 on any make. Remote keys start around $189 on common models and rise with the year and the system — a 2010 Corolla and a 2023 one are different jobs entirely.
The tool above gives your exact price in about a minute. Pick your make, model and year and it tells you the figure, then lets you choose a day we’re already in your area.
Why use a mobile locksmith instead of the dealer?
Three reasons. We come to the car, so there’s no tow and no day without a vehicle. We’re usually a good deal cheaper — dealers commonly quote several hundred more for the same key. And we can normally be there inside the week, often sooner, rather than whenever the service department has a slot.
The key we supply is programmed to your vehicle and works exactly like the original — lock, unlock, boot, and start.
What we do
- Spare keys — while your original still works. The cheapest time to do it.
- Lost or broken keys — replacement cut and programmed at the car.
- All keys lost — nothing left to start the car. Quoted per vehicle.
- Remotes and key fobs — replacement and reprogramming.
- Keys that won’t start the car — usually a worn transponder or a remote fault rather than the lock.

What does a car locksmith do?
A car locksmith (or auto locksmith) handles anything key- and lock-related on your car — cutting a new key blade, programming a chip or fob so it starts the car, replacing worn or broken keys, and getting you back into the vehicle if you’re locked out.
The dealer will send you to their key department, book you in for next week, and quote double. A mobile car locksmith in Melbourne comes to your driveway or the roadside, cuts and programs the key on the spot, and has you back on the road in an hour.
That’s what we do — Melbourne-wide, 7 days a week, from $189.

From $189 for a key without a remote. Remote and smart keys depend on the make, model and year — the tool above gives your exact price in about a minute.
Can you cut a car key without the original?
Yes. That’s an all-keys-lost job, quoted per vehicle because it depends on the car and the system. We confirm the figure with you before we come out.

A spare key is usually done inside an hour at the vehicle. All-keys-lost and later smart-key models take longer.
