Which automotive locksmith services are available in Parkville?
Parkville is built around the Royal Melbourne, Royal Children’s and Royal Women’s hospitals, the University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus, and the green sprawl of Royal Park, so a locked car here is rarely somewhere quiet. It might be a hospital car park off Flemington Road, a side street near Grattan Street, or the car park at Melbourne Zoo on a Sunday with the kids in tow.
We’re a fully mobile automotive locksmith, so instead of asking you to get your car to a shop, we bring the workshop to you, anywhere from Royal Parade to the State Netball and Hockey Centre. Cut a new key, sort a dead remote, or open a lockout, all done at your car in Parkville.

Your make, model and year, your Parkville street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Parkville 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 work in the car parks at Royal Melbourne Hospital and Royal Children’s Hospital, as well as the car park at Melbourne Zoo. Just send us your level and bay number and we’ll come straight to your car.
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.
