Which automotive locksmith services are available in Footscray?
Footscray moves fast, between the crowds at Footscray Market, the trains through the station and the traffic backing up along Barkly Street and Ballarat Road. A locked car or a key that won’t turn never picks a convenient moment. Whether you’re parked near Nicholson Street Mall, dropped at Footscray Hospital for a shift, or stuck at Whitten Oval after training, we drive to you and sort it at the car.
We’re a fully mobile automotive locksmith, licensed and insured, working on cars and motorcycles across Footscray and the inner west.

Situations we get called to in Footscray
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked Out at Footscray Market
Duck in for produce at Footscray Market on Hopkins Street and come back to a locked car. We drive straight to the car park and get your door open on the spot, no towing needed.
All Keys Lost Near Footscray Station
Missed the last train home and realise your only set of car keys is gone. We come to the station car park, cut a fresh key from scratch and get you back on the road.
Fob Won't Start the Car at Whitten Oval
Training finishes at Whitten Oval and your remote won't unlock or start the car. We reprogram or replace the fob at your vehicle so you're not stuck in the car park after dark.
Snapped Key at Victoria University
Rushing to a lecture at the Footscray Park campus and the key shears off in the ignition. We remove the broken piece and cut a new one at your car, no tow truck required.
Keys Locked in the Boot at Footscray Park
Unloading the pram or the dog by the river at Footscray Park and the boot locks with your keys inside. We open it without damaging the paint or the boot trim.
Spare Key Before a Shift at Footscray Hospital
Working shifts at Footscray Hospital and down to one key is a risk you can't afford. We cut a spare or program a second remote at your car in the staff car park.

Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Footscray 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 help drivers locked out or stuck at the Footscray Market car park and the car park at Footscray Station. Just tell us where you’re parked and we’ll drive straight there to sort your car or motorcycle key.
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.
