Which automotive locksmith services are available in Kew?
Kew is full of quiet, tree-lined streets around Cotham Road and Studley Park, the kind of suburb where you park under an old oak outside a period home and expect the key to work when you get back to it. When it doesn’t, whether you’re at Kew Junction, outside one of the schools on a pickup run, or down at Studley Park for a walk by the river, you don’t want to be stuck waiting on a tow truck.
Ostan Locksmiths comes straight to your car or motorcycle wherever it’s parked in Kew. We cut and program keys, replace dead remotes and fobs, sort transponder chips and get you back into a locked vehicle, all done at your vehicle so you’re never left stranded on the street.
Situations we get called to in Kew
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked out at Kew Junction

All keys lost near Studley Park
Keys gone after a walk along the river at Studley Park with no spare at home. We cut and program a full new set for your car or bike on the spot, no tow needed.
Dead fob outside Xavier College
Standing at pickup outside Xavier and the fob won't unlock a thing. We come to the school gate, test the fob and reprogram or replace it so you can get the kids home.
Snapped key near Willsmere

Your make, model and year, your Kew street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Kew 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 out to the car park on Walpole Street behind the High Street shops, and down at Studley Park near the boathouse. Wherever you’re parked in Kew, tell us the location and we’ll come straight to 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.
