Which automotive locksmith services are available in Avondale Heights?
Avondale Heights sits above a bend in the Maribyrnong River, and that means steep driveways, tight carports and streets where the last thing you need is to be stuck without your car key. Whether you’ve locked yourself out at the shops on Military Road, snapped a key in the ignition on your own driveway, or lost your keys walking the dog at Cross Keys Reserve, we come straight to you.
We’re a fully mobile automotive locksmith, so there’s no towing your car to a workshop and no waiting around for one that isn’t there. Our van carries the gear to cut and program keys for most makes and models on the spot, whether that’s a standard key, a transponder chip or a smart proximity key. Licensed and insured, we work on cars and motorcycles across Avondale Heights. Call 0410 380 354 and we’ll come to you.

Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Avondale Heights 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 in the car park at the Avondale Heights shops on Military Road, as well as down at Cross Keys Reserve by the river. Just call us with your location and we’ll drive straight there.
