What is a mobile vehicle lockout service?
A mobile vehicle lockout service comes to wherever your car is and opens it without damage when your keys are locked inside, shut in the boot, or the central locking has trapped them. We reach your car across Melbourne and Geelong, open it with the right non destructive tools, and get you back on the road, no tow and no broken window.
If the key itself is the problem rather than being locked away, we can also help on the spot. Lost every key? See lost car keys. Key will not start the car? See transponder replacement or remote and key-fob.
If there is a child or pet locked inside, tell us straight away and call 000 as well, so we can treat it as the emergency it is.

Year of manufacture: different years can use different key systems.
Current key situation: all keys lost, one working key left, a damaged key, or a faulty remote.
Location: your Melbourne or Geelong suburb and a safe place to meet.
Key photos: if a key remains, a clear photo helps.

What affects the cost of a car lockout in Melbourne?
A lockout is quoted on the callout, not a flat guess, and we confirm it before anyone is on the road. Tell us where the car is and what has happened and we explain the visit first.
You get one clear price up front, with no call out surprises.
- Vehicle type: a standard car differs from some vans and four wheel drives
- Lock situation: a straightforward lockout is simpler than a jammed or damaged lock
- Whether a key is needed: opening only, or opening plus a new key cut and programmed
- Make and year: some cars use locks that take more time to open safely
- Location: the quote covers the full mobile callout to your Melbourne or Geelong suburb
What to check before you call
A few quick checks make the visit faster and keep the cost down.
- Search first: bags, pockets, the seat gap and the jacket you wore yesterday
- Note your make, model and year, and whether any key still works
- Check the old key for a bent blade, cracked case or dead buttons
- Know the suburb and the exact spot where the car is parked
