Which automotive locksmith services are available in Ashwood?
Ashwood is a quiet, established pocket of Melbourne’s south east, sitting between Warrigal Road and High Street Road with Chadstone Shopping Centre just up the road and Deakin’s Burwood campus on the doorstep. It is the kind of suburb where a car key problem throws out your whole day, whether you are doing the school run past Ashwood College or heading out to Markham Reserve for the weekend sport.
Ostan Locksmiths is a fully mobile car and motorcycle locksmith, so we come to your car wherever it has stopped in Ashwood, not the other way round. We cut and program car and bike keys, sort out transponder chips and smart keys, replace dead remotes and fobs, cut spares and duplicates, and get you back into a locked car, all done at the vehicle. Licensed, insured, and used to working these streets.
Situations we get called to in Ashwood
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked Out at Chadstone
You have stepped out of Chadstone Shopping Centre and the keys are still sitting in the car. We come straight to the car park and open the door without damaging your panel or lock.
Lost Keys After School Pickup
Bag turned upside down outside Ashwood College and the car keys are nowhere to be found. We cut and program a new key at your car, so you are not left stranded at the gate.
Remote Won't Unlock the Car
Fob has gone dead outside the shops on High Street Road. We reprogram or replace the remote at your car, so you are not stuck jiggling the key in the door.
Key Snapped in the Ignition
Old key finally breaks off in the ignition after dropping someone at Deakin Burwood campus. We cut a fresh key on the spot so you are not left waiting around campus for a tow.
Keys Locked in the Boot
Boot slams shut with your keys inside after training at Markham Reserve. We open the boot or the car itself right there on the reserve, so your gear and your evening are not wasted.
Spare Key Before You Fly Out
Heading to the airport from Ashwood and want a second key cut first. We come to your home, cut and program a spare, so someone else can still drive the car while you are away.

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 Ashwood.
Your make, model and year, your Ashwood street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Ashwood 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 get called to car parks in and around Ashwood, including the car park at Chadstone Shopping Centre and the parking bays along the High Street Road shops. We come straight to your car, so you are not left waiting around or asking someone else to watch it for you.
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.
