Losing your car keys can be a stressful experience for anyone. This is especially true if you’re in a hurry to get somewhere or simply want to get home. If you’re not prepared, trying to find a replacement can be a stressful (and costly) task. This is why having a dependable Modern Car Key Replacement Melbourne is critical.
Before we begin, if you have access to a spare key, it can help you save a lot of time and money throughout the process.
So, what are your alternatives?
When it comes to car key replacement in Melbourne, you’ll have three options.
- Use a key bar or key cutting service in a shopping mall – this is probably the cheapest option, but there are some drawbacks. The majority of key bars will not be able to provide a replacement for all keys. They are also not trained locksmiths, so you may encounter issues with the way the key fits into the lock or the interaction between the computer chip in the key and your vehicle’s computer.
- The advantages of hiring a locksmith stem from their knowledge of locks and security systems. They will ensure that the key fits perfectly into the lock and ignition barrel, as well as that it is properly programmed into the vehicle’s security system.
What Exactly Are Car Key Replacement Services Melbourne?
When you get your car key replaced, there are usually three factors to consider. Understanding workmanship and pricing will be easier if you are familiar with each component.
- The mechanical key blade is the physical key that goes into the car’s door or ignition. It is critical that this key be cut correctly, as even minor variations can result in costly damage to your locks and ignition barrel. We always make every effort to ensure that the key is cut in accordance with the dealer’s code.
- The microchip– as an additional form of security in your vehicle’s locking system, the microchip will essentially ‘speak’ to your vehicle. When you insert the key into the ignition, the car will first analyse it to see if it matches the same system coding; if it does, the car will start. This is why, when looking for a home, it is critical to ensure that the proper equipment has been used.
- The remote– The remote is independent of the microchip and adds another layer of security. It is necessary to use a specialised OBD computer in order for the remote to communicate properly with the car.
