Situations we get called to in Altona
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked out at Altona Pier
You've locked the keys inside while walking out onto Altona Pier for a look at the bay. We come straight to the pier car park and get your door open without any damage.
All keys lost around Cherry Lake
You've been walking the dog around Cherry Lake and the keys aren't in your pocket anymore. We can cut and program a full new set at your car, no tow needed.
Fob died outside the Pier Street shops
Your remote's stopped working after you parked to grab groceries on Pier Street. We reprogram or replace the fob at your car so you're not stuck waiting on a tow truck.
Key snapped off near the industrial estate
The key's snapped off in the ignition on the way to an early shift near the industrial estate. We extract the broken piece and cut a new key on the spot.
Keys locked in the boot at the boat ramp
You've packed the fishing gear away at the Altona boat ramp and the keys are locked in the boot with it. We open the boot on site so you're not left standing around.
Spare key before leaving the car at the station
You're leaving the car in the Altona station car park while you catch the train into the city for a few days. We can cut a spare so you're not relying on just one key.
