Absolute lifesaver! My car wouldn’t start before work and Advanced Mobile AutoCare came out same day. Diagnosed a flat battery and replaced it on the spot. Super convenient and friendly service.

What stood out for me was the transparency. After checking my car, I was given a clear quote before anything started, so there were no surprises. Honest advice and no pressure to fix things that weren’t urgent.

Car Keys – Frequently Asked Questions

Fast answers about mobile key replacement, programming & lockouts in Canberra

What should I do if I lose my only car key?+

Call us immediately. We’ll verify ownership (licence + rego), come to your location, and create a new key on-site by decoding the lock or using immobiliser programming. Avoid towing and dealership queues.

Can you make a new key without the original?+

Yes, in most cases. Using your vehicle’s VIN number and proof of ownership, we cut and program a replacement key even when all originals are lost. Advanced tools allow us to access immobiliser data directly.

How long does it take to program a transponder or smart key?+

Most programming takes 20–45 minutes on-site. Complex European systems (BMW, Mercedes, VW) may take 60–90 minutes. We provide accurate time estimates before we start.

Will my lost key still start the car after a new key is programmed?+

We can delete lost keys from the vehicle’s immobiliser memory. This prevents the lost key from starting the engine, improving security. Always ask for “lost key deletion” during programming.

Do you offer a warranty on car keys and programming?+

Yes – all keys, remotes and programming work come with a 12-month warranty. If any fault occurs due to workmanship or part defect, we fix it at no extra cost.

What areas in Canberra do you cover for mobile key service?+

All ACT suburbs including Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden, Tuggeranong, Weston Creek, plus Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra. Emergency lockout response typically under 60 minutes.
