Melbourne Car Keys provided exceptional service. Their communication was great and I had my key 30 minutes after they arrived. The price was better than a Ford dealer and the service was 100 times better. Definitely recommend.

I just had my car key replaced by Anthony after losing my original key. He offered a very good price and excellent service. The process was quick, hassle-free, and he was punctual. Highly recommended.

Why mail it in

The work most shops can’t do in-house.

We’re a Melbourne auto locksmith doing the bench-level electronics other workshops outsource. Posting the unit in means specialist work without towing the car or sitting on a dealership waitlist.
