Which automotive locksmith services are available in North Melbourne?
North Melbourne is a mix of old terraces around Errol Street and Canning Street, the housing towers near Boundary Road, and the industrial stretch of the Arden precinct that’s slowly turning into apartments and offices. It’s a suburb where you might park outside the shops on Errol Street for a coffee, or leave the car near Arden Street Oval while you watch the Kangaroos train, and come back to a door that won’t open.
We’re a fully mobile automotive locksmith, so instead of you trying to get a stuck car to a shop, we drive to wherever you’re stranded in North Melbourne. Locked out near the Queen Victoria Market car park, stuck at North Melbourne station after work, or dealing with a snapped key outside your place on Curzon Street, we come to you and sort it at the car.

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.
