Which automotive locksmith services are available in Preston?

Maybe you’re juggling bags at the Preston Market car park on Bell Street, you’ve just stepped off the train at Preston Station and can’t find your keys, or your fob has gone dead in the Northland car park. Whatever street you’re on, from High Street to Plenty Road to the warehouses off Cramer Street, we come straight to your car and sort it there.
We cut and program car and motorcycle keys, fix or replace dead remotes and fobs, cut spare and duplicate keys, and get you back into a locked vehicle, all on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 Preston.
Your make, model and year, your Preston street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Preston 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 get called out regularly to the Preston Market car park on Bell Street and the Northland Shopping Centre car park, along with the smaller strip parking along High Street. Just let us know which car park and roughly where you’re parked, and we’ll come straight to your vehicle.
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.
Call 0410 380 354, email michael@ostanlock.com.au or use the enquiry form, and we will get straight back to you.
