Car Key Replacement in Ivanhoe, Kew, Fairfield & the Inner North-East

There's a reason people move to Melbourne's inner north-east and never leave. Ivanhoe's got that old-money quiet. Kew has the schools and the elms. Fairfield is all about the boat house and the Yarra trail. Alphington has reinvented itself without losing its character. Eaglemont still feels like a village.

It's a beautiful part of Melbourne. And it's full of cars that need keys.

Quick Car Keys provides mobile car key replacement right across the inner north-east. Buzz, that's the bloke who runs this operation, has been cutting keys for 22 years, and a fair chunk of those callouts have been to streets between here and the river. We come to you. Your driveway in Kew, the car park behind the shops in Ivanhoe, wherever the car is sitting.

Suburbs We Cover

Ivanhoe

Upper Heidelberg Road, the Village, Norman Herrell Reserve on a Saturday morning. Lots of families with a sedan and an SUV in the driveway. When one key goes missing, it usually needs sorting before school drop-off on Monday. We get that. That's why we work until 9pm on weekdays.

Kew

Some of Melbourne's best streets are in Kew. Big houses, established gardens, and a disproportionate number of European cars. BMWs, Mercedes, Audis. We see them all. If you've been quoted $600+ by a dealer for a BMW key replacement, give us a call before you commit. Same key. Same programming. Fraction of the price.

Fairfield

The Pipe is one of Melbourne's best walks and you'll argue with no one about that. Fairfield sits right on the river with easy access to the city but still feels like its own town. Smaller blocks, tight streets, lots of older Toyotas and Mazdas that still use transponder keys. Quick job, usually under 30 minutes.

Alphington

Alphington is mid-transformation. The old Amcor paper mill site has brought in a wave of new residents and new apartments. Plenty of young families with new cars and zero spare keys. Getting a spare cut now is always cheaper than an emergency replacement later.

Eaglemont

Tucked between Ivanhoe and Heidelberg, Eaglemont is all red brick and quiet streets named after First World War battlefields. Heritage overlay means not much changes around here, except the cars in the driveways. We do everything from a 2005 Subaru Forester to a 2022 Range Rover Evoque.

European Cars Are Our Thing

The inner north-east has one of Melbourne's highest concentrations of European vehicles. That's not a guess. Just drive down Glenferrie Road or Studley Park Road and count. BMWs. Mercedes. Audis. VWs. The occasional Peugeot that someone bought because they liked the idea of being different.

Dealers charge a premium for European key replacement because they can. The parts aren't significantly more expensive. The programming isn't dramatically harder. They just know you'll pay because you think there's no alternative.

There is. Our European and prestige car key service covers the same brands, uses compatible blanks and programming, and comes with a 3-year warranty on parts and labour. Your dealer won't match that warranty.

What Does It Cost?

Replacement car keys in the inner north-east start from $75 and go up depending on the make, model, and key type. A basic transponder key for a Holden Commodore is very different from a proximity smart key for a late-model Mercedes. We'll always give you a straight price on the phone before we drive out. No surprises. Check our cost guide for ballpark figures.
