Lost your car key or locked out? You may be wondering whether to call the dealership or a mobile locksmith. Here’s why more Aussie drivers are choosing the mobile option — and saving big.
Most dealerships:
Require you to tow your car in
Take 2–7 days to order or program new keys
Charge higher prices for service & parts
Not ideal when you’re stuck somewhere, right?
Licensed mobile locksmiths (like us):
Come to you — no towing needed
Replace, cut & program your car key on the spot
Are available 24/7, even weekends and holidays
Often beat dealership pricing by 30–50%
We carry tools, software, and blank keys for most car makes and models.
A driver in Sydney lost a smart key. The dealership quoted $750 and a 3-day wait (plus towing).
We did it in under 1 hour for $420, with no tow, no delay.
