Canberra Car Keys

Canberra Car Keys is known for automotive key work, with customers repeatedly describing outcomes achieved on vehicles that other workshops had turned away. Nathan is named often, praised for answering calls and arriving quickly, while Dave is mentioned for completing on-site work such as replacing an entire key set. Reviewers describe emergency call-outs for snapped motorcycle keys, failed ignition barrels and alarm fobs on older British cars, with several noting that the team was willing to attempt unusual jobs rather than dismiss them.

Communication before and after the job comes up as a strength, including advice given over the phone about a likely fault and its cost, followed by a next-day visit. Pricing is described as fair and, in one case, the quote was honoured precisely, with payment handled quickly. Turnaround is a recurring theme, with keys cut in driveways within minutes and jobs finished on the spot. Friendliness and professionalism are noted alongside the technical expertise, and customers who had returned for additional keys report the same experience each time.

Excellent service at a very reasonable price. The staff were very friendly, professional and efficient as well. Easily the best in Canberra. Highly recommend!

Great service, have an old jeep with old software and was worried it couldn't be sorted. They rectified with no dramas at a great price, really got me out of trouble, use these guys!!

Nathan was amazing, went above and beyond. Was very helpful. Would recommend 100%

Excellent service from Nathan. He went to the effort to source a part and stayed in touch through the process. Second time we have used this company and a very good experience both times

I want to give Nathan and Dave a 10/10 if I could. I was incredibly lucky to find them after a nightmare situation — someone broke into my house, stole one of my cars, and took the keys to my other car as well. I called Nathan immediately, and within just two hours he had sent Dave out to help. Dave replaced my entire key set in only 30 minutes. Nathan provided a very reasonable and affordable quote, and charged exactly what he quoted — no hidden fees at all. Later, when the police found my stolen car which was heavily damaged, I contacted Nathan again. He was completely honest with me about the complexity of making new keys for that vehicle, but he still accepted the job and sent Dave to inspect it. Once again, Dave was beyond excellent. With his previous mechanic experience, he carefully checked the car, shared his opinion, and honestly gave me the option of either proceeding with new keys or simply selling the car. He spent over 30 minutes helping us, and despite my insistence, he refused to charge anything. His empathy and kindness during such a stressful time meant so much to me. I never expected this level of genuine care and honesty — especially in a situation where most people would charge call-out fees even for doing nothing. At the end of the day, after everything that happened, I truly felt blessed to have chosen Canberra Car Keys. Thank you again, Nathan and Dave!

Prompt professional service from Nathan and Dave. I had an unusual problem with the alarm fob for my 1990s British car. Canberra Car Keys were prepared to have a go, and solved the problem. I originally thought a mobile service was more targeted at emergency situations. While ‘bricks and mortar’ businesses weren’t interested in thinking outside of the box, I appreciated CCKs willingness solve the problem.

Really relieved to have used these guys. Nathan was super responsive and booked me in quickly. Dave was really helpful at my property, and had two keys made for me earlier and cheaper than anticipated. Will only use these guys moving forward! thank you so much!!
