Car Key Replacement in Box Hill, Blackburn, Mitcham & Whitehorse
Whitehorse is one of Melbourne's biggest and busiest municipalities. Over 175,000 people spread across suburbs that range from the buzzing multicultural hub of Box Hill to the quieter, leafier streets of Blackburn and Mitcham. What they all have in common: cars. Lots of them. And sooner or later, every car needs a key replaced.
Quick Car Keys provides mobile car key replacement right across the Whitehorse area. We drive to you. Doesn't matter if it's a townhouse in Box Hill or a quarter-acre block in Mitcham. Buzz has 22 years in this trade and has cut well over 30,000 keys. Plenty of them on your side of town.
Suburbs We Cover
Box Hill
Box Hill is a city within a city. The station precinct, the massive Asian grocery halls, the medical precinct around Box Hill Hospital. It's dense, it's busy, and parking is a nightmare on the best of days. If you've locked your key in the car behind Centro Box Hill or had a key die while you were grabbing dumplings on Station Street, we've been there. Literally. Common makes we see here: Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda. Plenty of newer SUVs with smart key systems too.
Blackburn
Blackburn still has that village feel. The lake, the creekside walking tracks, the community market. Houses are older in parts (1960s and 70s brick) but the cars in the driveways are getting newer. We see a lot of mixed fleets in Blackburn: mum's got the Kia Sportage, dad's driving a Subaru Outback, and the P-plater has a 2008 Corolla held together by hope. We cut keys for all of them.
Mitcham
Mitcham stretches from the commercial strip around Mitcham Road up into the foothills near Halliday Park. It's the kind of suburb where everyone has a garage but half the driveways are still full because the garage got turned into a gym or a workshop fifteen years ago. Good mix of older and newer vehicles. Lots of Ford Rangers and Hiluxes out this way.
Nunawading
The Whitehorse Road retail strip in Nunawading is one of Melbourne's longest: furniture shops, car yards, tile showrooms stretching for kilometres. If you're buying a car from one of the dealers along here and it only came with one key, get a spare cut on the spot. Don't wait until you need it.
Burwood
Deakin Uni's Burwood campus brings in thousands of students and staff every day. Plenty of them drive. Plenty of them lose keys. Burwood also has a strong family demographic south of Burwood Highway, with the usual mix of Japanese and Korean cars that make up Melbourne's suburban fleet.
The Box Hill Problem (and Why We're the Solution)
Here's what happens when a Box Hill resident loses a car key. They call the dealer. The dealer says "bring the car in." The car has no working key, so that means a tow. Now you're paying $150+ for a tow truck on top of the dealer's price, which is already going to be somewhere between $400 and $900 depending on the brand.
Or you call us. We come to the car. We cut and program a new key on the spot. You save the tow fee, you save on the key itself, and you're done in an hour instead of a week.
This isn't rocket science. It's just a better way to do it.

How Much Does It Cost?
Car key replacement in Whitehorse starts from $75. The exact price depends on your car's make, model, year, and key type. A standard transponder key for a 2012 Toyota Corolla is a very different job from a proximity key for a 2020 Mercedes GLC. We always quote before we start.
