Mitsubishi Key Replacement Melbourne

Mitsubishi builds the cars that Australians actually use. Not show off. Use.

The Triton is a workhorse. The ASX is the school-run champion. The Outlander is the family road trip car. The Pajero, may it rest in peace, still roams the bush tracks of regional Victoria every weekend.

These are practical cars owned by practical people. Which is why the Mitsubishi dealer key replacement price, $350-$700, feels especially wrong. You bought a practical car because you're not into overpaying. The key replacement should respect that.

Buzz has been cutting Mitsubishi keys for 22 years. Tritons, ASXs, Outlanders, Pajeros, Lancers, 380s, the full catalogue. Mobile across Melbourne, same-day, 3-year warranty.

Mitsubishi Key Types We Handle

Transponder keys. Older Lancers (CG, CH), Pajeros (NM, NP), and 380s used a standard transponder chip key. Metal blade, chip in the head, no remote. These are the cheapest Mitsubishi keys to replace.

Remote head keys. The Triton (MN, MQ, MR), ASX, Outlander (ZJ, ZK), and Lancer (CJ) moved to remote head keys with integrated lock/unlock buttons. Physical blade plus remote functions. This is the most common Mitsubishi key we handle in Melbourne.

Smart key / keyless entry. Newer Outlander (ZL, ZM), Eclipse Cross, and some ASX models use a proximity smart key. Pocket it, grab the handle, push to start. More convenient, more expensive at the dealer, still very doable through us.

Flip keys. Some Triton and ASX models use a switchblade-style flip key. Blade folds into the fob. Compact and popular.

The Triton: Melbourne's Other Work Ute

The Ford Ranger gets all the attention, but the Mitsubishi Triton is quietly one of Australia's best-selling utes. Tradies love it because it's cheaper to buy and run than a Ranger, and Mitsubishi's "Diamond Advantage" 10-year warranty gives peace of mind.

But that factory warranty doesn't cover lost or broken keys. And Triton keys go missing on job sites with alarming regularity. Dropped in concrete, left on a scaffold, fallen out of a pocket into a trench. Buzz has heard every story.

If you're a Triton owner with one key, get a spare made. Seriously. The cost of a spare now is a fraction of the cost (and drama) of an all-keys-lost emergency job later. Buzz can come to your site, your office, or your driveway and sort it in under an hour.

Mitsubishi + Mazda Connection

Mitsubishi and Mazda have a long-standing engineering relationship. Mazda's immobiliser systems share DNA with Mitsubishi's. This matters for key replacement because experience with one brand translates directly to the other.

Buzz has been doing both for 22 years. The overlap means deep familiarity with the underlying technology. Not something every key bloke can say.

Why Not the Mitsubishi Dealer?

Mitsubishi dealers are solid. Good service, no complaints about the work quality. But key replacement is a small job in their world, it gets slotted in between services and repairs, which means waiting. And their pricing includes all the overhead of running a dealership.

Quick Car Keys: mobile, same-day, fair price, 3-year warranty on parts and labour. The key is the same. The experience is just faster, cheaper, and more convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a Triton key on a job site?
Absolutely. Job site key replacements are one of our most common calls. Buzz comes to wherever the car is, building site, car park, side of the road. You don't need to bring the car anywhere.
My Pajero is getting old, is it still worth replacing the key?
If the Pajero still runs well, a key replacement is one of the cheapest maintenance items on the list. Way cheaper than replacing the car. Those Pajeros were built to last, look after the key and it'll look after you.
Does replacing my Mitsubishi key through you affect the Diamond Advantage warranty?
No. Australian Consumer Law gives you the right to use independent service providers. A key replacement from a qualified automotive locksmith does not void your Mitsubishi warranty.
