Car Key Replacement for Every Brand, One Bloke
Different car, different key. That's the reality of this job.
A Toyota key and a BMW key have about as much in common as a garden gate and a bank vault. Different chips, different frequencies, different security protocols, different everything. And the dealership charges accordingly, often with a markup that'd make your eyes water.
Buzz has been cutting and programming car keys across Melbourne for 22 years. Over 30,000+ of them. Japanese, European, Korean, Chinese. If it's got four wheels and an ignition, chances are he's done it before. Probably a few hundred times.
One thing that doesn't change between brands: our 3-year warranty on parts and labour. That's the same whether you drive a Suzuki Swift or a Range Rover Sport.

Why Not Just Go to the Dealer?
You can. Nobody's stopping you. But here's what you're signing up for: a tow to the dealership (because most key losses mean your car isn't going anywhere). A wait of 1–5 business days while they order the key from their supply chain. A bill that starts at $400 and regularly cracks $1,500 for European brands. And a warranty that varies wildly.
Or you call Buzz. He comes to you, same day, does the job on-site, and it's covered by a 3-year warranty. Same key. Better deal. That's it.
