Volkswagen keys, in plain terms
Golf, Polo, Tiguan and Amarok. VW keys are more involved than most — the immobiliser generation matters, and some jobs need the vehicle present for longer than a Japanese equivalent.

Questions
Volkswagen keys — the usual questions
Can you make a Volkswagen key if I've lost all of them?
Usually, yes. With no key to copy, the key is cut and coded to the vehicle itself, which is a longer job than cutting a spare but does not need a tow to the dealer. We need to see proof the vehicle is yours and photo ID before anything is cut — that requirement is not negotiable, and it is the same rule that stops someone else asking for a key to your car.
Do you come to me, or do I bring the Volkswagen to you?
We come to you. The van carries the cutting and programming equipment, so the job is done wherever the car is parked — home, work, a shopping centre car park or the roadside. We reach most of Melbourne within 15–25 minutes.
How much does a Volkswagen key cost?
It depends on the key your car takes — a plain metal key, a remote-head key and a proximity key are three different jobs. Tell us the model and year and you will be given the price for your car before anyone starts. We do not quote a figure we have not worked out for your vehicle.
How long does a Volkswagen key take?
Most spare-key jobs are done inside an hour on site. A lost-all-keys job takes longer because the key has to be coded to the car from scratch. Your locksmith will tell you which one yours is when they arrive.
Is the Volkswagen key guaranteed?
Yes — SB Locksmith backs every job with a 1 year warranty on parts and labour. If the key stops working within that time, we come back.
Get a price for your Volkswagen
Answer what you can — anything you are unsure of, leave it. Your locksmith reads it and texts you a price, usually within the hour during business hours.
Priced by the job, not by the hour — the figure you approve is the figure you pay for the job as described.*
*If your locksmith arrives and the job turns out genuinely different from what you told us — a different lock, extra doors, damage nobody mentioned — you get a plain explanation and a new figure before any work starts, and you can say no. Anything you haven’t agreed to is never charged.
