Car Key Replacement for Automotive Dealers
Every dealer knows the drill. A trade-in arrives with one key. Or no key. The previous owner "definitely had two" but can only find one, and they're not exactly motivated to look harder once the deal is signed.
Now you've got a $25,000 vehicle on the lot that you can't sell with a single key. Customers expect two. Finance won't complete without them. And the brand dealer wants $600–800 to cut a spare — plus a two-week wait for the appointment.
Quick Car Keys solves this problem the same day it comes up.
What We Do for Dealers
Trade-In Keys
The bread and butter. Every trade-in should leave your desk with two working keys. We come to your lot, cut and program a spare on the spot, and you're done. The car goes to detailing, then to the front row, ready to sell.
Stock Vehicle Keys
Sometimes keys get mixed up. Sometimes they walk off. Sometimes you buy a car at auction and it comes with a key that barely works. We replace, duplicate, and program keys for any stock vehicle up to 2022 models.
Customer Key Issues
Your customer bought a car last month and the spare key doesn't work. Or they lost the only key you gave them and they're calling you first. Point them our way. We'll sort it directly and keep your name out of the complaint.
Fleet Vehicle Keys
If you run a courtesy car fleet or demonstrator vehicles, key management gets complicated. We can set up a schedule or just be the number you call when something goes missing.
How It Works
You call or text Buzz on 0456 013 246 with the car details — make, model, year, VIN
We come to your lot — usually same day, almost always next business day at the latest
Key cut and programmed on site — 30 to 60 minutes per vehicle
You get a working key with a 3-year warranty, parts and labour
No need to send the car anywhere. No tow to the dealer. No tying up a bay in your workshop. We set up next to the car, do the job, and leave.
Why Us Instead of the Brand Dealer
Look, we know you already have dealer contacts. Most yards do. But here's the honest comparison:
| Brand Dealer | Quick Car Keys | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $400–900 per key | Significantly less (call for trade pricing) |
| Turnaround | 1–3 weeks | Same day or next business day |
| Location | You take the car to them | We come to your lot |
| Warranty | 12 months typical | 3 years — parts and labour |
| After-hours | No | Mon–Sat until 9pm |
The maths is simple. If you're doing 3–4 trade-in keys per month, the savings stack up fast. And the turnaround difference is the real kicker — a car sitting on your lot waiting for a key is a car that's not selling.
Makes and Models
We cover most makes and models up to 2022. That includes the brands you see most often in trade-ins:
- Toyota — Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Hilux, Kluger

No Contract Required
We're not going to make you sign a 12-month agreement for something this simple. Call when you need us. If the work is regular, we'll talk trade pricing. If it's once a month, that's fine too.
The relationship is straightforward: you call, we come, the key works, you pay. That's been enough for us for 22 years.
