VAG Locksmith - Key Replacement
Volkswagen, Audi & VAG Car Key Replacement Melbourne
Locked Out, Lost Your Keys, or Dealing with a Broken Fob?
If you own a Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, or SEAT, you know how advanced these vehicles are. Their smart keys, proximity systems, and immobilisers are designed for maximum security — but that also means when you lose a key, snap it in half, or lock it inside your car, you’re left in a stressful situation.
Most people think the only solution is calling the dealership. The truth? Dealerships are slow, expensive, and often require towing. That’s where Fleet Locksmiths comes in. We’re specialists in the entire VAG group of vehicles, offering on-site key replacement, transponder programming, and emergency locksmith services that get you back on the road quickly and affordably.
Quick Answer: If you’ve lost, broken, or need a spare key for your Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, or SEAT, Fleet Locksmiths can replace, cut, and program new keys at your location — usually within the hour.
Why the Dealership Isn’t Always Your Best Bet
Let’s be honest — dealerships are great for servicing and factory warranties, but when it comes to replacement keys, they’re far from convenient.
Here’s why:
-
Long wait times: Keys often need to be ordered from overseas, leaving you stranded for 1–3 weeks.
-
High costs: Dealer pricing can be double or triple what a mobile locksmith charges.
-
Towing required: Most dealerships won’t program your new key unless the car is at their workshop, which means paying for a tow.
Real example: A customer with a VW Golf GTI in Preston lost their only key. The dealer quoted nearly $1,200 for 1 key with a 10-day wait. We attended within 2 hours, erased the lost key from the system, and programmed 2 brand-new keys and saved the customer money and time .

Locked out of your Volkswagen or AUDI ? Lost your key?
Don’t be fooled by $29 scam ads !!!
Unqualified operators posing as locksmiths can cause costly damage to your vehicle or property. They can’t pick your lock properly, so they’ll resort to outdated and destructive methods from the 1950s—using metal rods and airbags to force your door open. The result? Scratched paint, bent frames, and unnecessary stress.
Say NO to unprofessional, unqualified, and dodgy criminals pretending to be locksmiths. Protect your investment by choosing a trusted expert.
