At 1 Key Locksmiths we’re specialists in factory fitted automotive immobilisers and car key programming for workshops Melbourne trade clients can rely on. Modern vehicle keys, locks and immobiliser parts can be difficult to deal with from the perspective of keys, locks and parts replacement. Not only is almost every module component security coded and VIN written, but they require highly specialised diagnostic equipment to read, update or erase the coding as needed. At 1 Key Locksmiths we carry the specialist equipment and knowledge required to support workshops, mechanics and automotive businesses across Melbourne.
Car Key Programming For Workshops Melbourne
Car Key Programming For Workshops, Locks and Immobiliser Support Melbourne
Our car key programming for workshops in Melbourne includes:
Key replacement, including remote and smart keys for many modern vehicles. Most models are supported, helping Melbourne workshops organise replacement keys and programming for customer vehicles without unnecessary dealer delays.
Dashboard replacement, where the immobiliser is housed in the dashboard and occasionally fails. These units are expensive and often have long parts delays. We replace these with second-hand units where suitable to save both time and money. Symptoms include ‘SAFE’ or ‘DEF’ on the dashboard centre screen, flashing immobiliser light and a failure to start.
Lock replacement, where vehicles have extremely accurate mechanical locking systems with complex parts that do fail. These include the door lock and latch assembly, the ignition lock cylinder and the steering lock assembly. We replace these and, in most cases, retain the original key code where possible.
Electronic Steering Lock replacement, where smart key and push button start models often have what is called an ESL or electronic steering lock. These modules are prone to failure, and most can be refurbished back to working condition, while some need replacement.
Engine Control Unit replacement, where ECU failures can cause a failure to start or gearbox shifting issues. We recommend mechanical and sensor issues are diagnosed first. If the ECU is genuinely faulty, we can replace most types with a suitable second-hand unit.
Are you a mechanical or panel workshop dealing with late model vehicles and tired of sending cars to dealers for key or immobiliser coding? At 1 Key Locksmiths we offer a comprehensive Dealer/OEM level service for key and immobiliser parts replacement.
We carry the same tool as the dealership, with the expert knowledge and experience to get the most out of it. We also carry a large range of original keys and remotes so we can get jobs done on the spot.
Rather than taking a car to a dealership and waiting for them to get around to the job, we can complete all key and immobiliser related work in your yard or workshop, saving you time moving cars around and getting them back to customers faster.
Are you dealing with stolen recovered cars on a regular basis? Repair of vehicle locks and security systems after theft or theft attempts is a specialty of ours. We can repair vehicles to the standard the insurance company requires, with the lock mechanical code changed, stolen keys deleted and new keys programmed.
Call us today and start getting dealer-level key and immobiliser service into your workshop.
