No call-out fee: No call-out fee when the job goes ahead as booked. If you cancel after your locksmith has already set off, the trip is charged — the cancellation policy on your booking says how much.
No hidden rates: The figure you approve is the figure you pay for the job as described. If the job turns out genuinely different on site, that figure still stands until you approve a new one. Anything you have not agreed to is never charged.
1 year workmanship warranty: What the warranty covers depends on the job and on the parts — ask us what applies to yours. It sits alongside your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which no warranty can exclude.

What to expect

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.

Anything else we should know?

Optional, and the single thing most likely to get you a firm price without anyone coming out. The car, the door or window you’re locked out of, and the key if you still have it.

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.

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.

Do I have to go to a Volkswagen dealer?

Often not. We cut and program keys where the car is parked. Some models and years are harder, and a few may need a dealer. Tell us the model and year and we will say which yours is before we come out.

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. Which one yours is depends on the car and on how many keys are left, and it is settled on site.
