How It Works — 4 Simple Steps
Tell us your car's make, model and year, your suburb, and whether you still have a working key. You'll get a clear price range up front — no surprises on arrival.
Home, workplace, shopping centre car park or roadside — the van carries key blanks, cutting equipment and programming tools for all major makes.
Most jobs take 30–60 minutes on site, including transponder and smart key programming to your car's immobiliser.
You test the key yourself — start, lock, unlock, remote buttons — before paying. Then you're back on the road.

Prices updated June 2026 and include mobile callout, cutting and programming across Greater Sydney.
If you still have one working key and your car is driveable, booking a standard-hours appointment instead of an emergency callout typically saves $50–$100. Know your costs before you call — try the free Toyota key cost estimator or read the full Sydney cost guide.

Why Mobile Beats the Dealership
When you've lost your car key, the dealership route means towing your car in, waiting 1–3 days for key blanks, and paying $400–$800. A mobile specialist comes to you the same day and charges $200–$480 all-in — same programming standards, same result, at your kerb instead of their service desk.
