Which automotive locksmith services are available in Prahran?
Prahran runs at its own pace. Chapel Street keeps the shops and bars busy well into the evening, Prahran Market pulls in shoppers from early morning, and the tight side streets around Greville and Izett Street are packed with cars belonging to residents in the old terraces and newer apartment blocks. With that much traffic through the suburb, locked doors, dead fobs and snapped keys turn up more often than anyone would like.
We’re a fully mobile automotive locksmith, so you don’t need to leave your car outside The Alfred or in a Pran Central car park while you wait for help. We drive to wherever you’re stuck in Prahran, cut and program keys for cars and motorcycles at the vehicle, and get you moving again. Licensed and insured, every time.
Situations we get called to in Prahran
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked Out at Prahran Market
You've loaded the boot outside Prahran Market and the keys are still on the seat. We come straight to the car park, get your door open and have you driving off with your shopping intact.
Lost All Your Keys After a Night on Chapel Street
Bar hopping down Chapel Street and your keys never made it home with you. No spare hiding anywhere. We cut a fresh key at your car and program a new remote on the spot.
Dead Key Fob Outside The Alfred
Visiting someone at The Alfred is stressful enough without a fob that won't unlock your car. We diagnose the fault at your vehicle and replace or reprogram the remote so you can just drive home.
Snapped Key at Prahran Station
Rushing for the train and the key shears off in the door lock. We come straight to the station car park, extract the broken piece and cut you a new key.
Keys Locked in the Boot at Pran Central
Groceries loaded, boot shut, keys sitting right there inside. It happens fast at Pran Central's car park. We get you back into your car on the spot, no need to call a tow truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Car key replacement, lost car keys, spare and duplicate keys, key cutting and programming, remote and key-fob replacement, and mobile vehicle lockouts, all fully mobile across Prahran.
Your make, model and year, your Prahran street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Prahran and the surrounding suburbs. We are a fully mobile service and do not operate a walk-in shopfront.
Yes. For most cars we can create a brand new key on site, even when every key is lost. Have your ID and proof of ownership ready.
It depends on the key type. A basic cut key costs less than a transponder key, and proximity smart keys sit at the top of the range. Whether a working key remains also matters. Call 0410 380 354 with your make, model and year and we will give you a clear price before we head your way.
Usually, yes. A dealership generally needs the car towed in and can take days to order and code a key. We come to your vehicle, cut and program the key on site in a single visit, and you skip the tow entirely.
Yes. We regularly attend the Prahran Square car park on Cato Street and the Pran Central Shopping Centre car park on Chapel Street, along with the surrounding street parking, so a locked car or a dead key fob in either car park is no problem.
Often, yes. A flat battery is the most common cause and is a quick, inexpensive fix. If the remote still fails with a fresh battery, the fob may need reprogramming or a replacement, and we can do either at your vehicle.
