There are a few different situations where you might need to call one of our car locksmiths. If you've lost your keys, if your keys have been stolen, or if your keys have been damaged, we can make new keys for you.

It depends on the make and model of your car, but it usually takes a car locksmith around 30 minutes to make a replacement car key. It's worth noting that if you have an older model car, it may take longer to create a key than if you have a newer model. Either way, it's always best to call ahead and ask us how long it will take for the locksmith to make your replacement car key. That way, you can plan accordingly and not be left stranded if it takes longer than expected. We'll do our best to get to you as soon as possible.

A transponder key is a type of key that has a chip embedded in it that sends a signal to the car's ignition system. This signal tells the car that the key is authorised to start the engine. A regular key does not have this chip, so it will not work with a car that has a transponder key system. If you lose your transponder key, you will need to get a new one from one of our car locksmiths.

The cost of replacing a lost car key can vary depending on the make and model of your car. However, it is typically between $100 and $300 to replace a key. If you have a keyless entry system, the cost may be higher, but you can check with our car dealership or a locksmith to get an accurate quote. If you have comprehensive insurance, you may be able to make a claim and have the cost of the replacement key reimbursed.
