    I can’t recommend Brendan highly enough. I had an issue with my steering wheel locking up and was originally quoted an astronomical amount by another business (auto electrician) who clearly couldn’t care less about my car. Brendan came out as a mobile auto locksmith, diagnosed the issue quickly, and charged me very fairly for the work. He did an excellent job and was fast, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. Communication was clear and consistent the whole way through, which really put me at ease. Brendan is also very friendly and easygoing, making the whole experience stress-free. I was so impressed with the effort and care he put into fixing my car that I actually paid more than the quoted price because I genuinely believe he deserved it. The convenience of his mobile service was a huge bonus as well. If you’re looking for someone honest, skilled, and reliable, Brendan is your guy.

    Brendan was absolutely awesome. He made a new key to my Renault Master van when everyone else said it could not be done by anyone but the dealership. He was prompt onsite when he said he would be there, couldn't be nicer to deal with. He asked a lot of questions to ensure he had all the correct details of the van to make the job go smoothly. Priced well , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    I am happy to say that my aftermarket transponder key for VW Golf 2007 has been working perfectly since Brendan from Adelaide Automotive Locksmiths cut & programmed it for me over a week ago. Not only that.... they came to me and were able to do it on the spot with no wait for the key to be ordered from overseas. It looks and works exactly as the original and the service was professional and friendly. On top of that, the cost was a LOT less than dealership & other quotes. I highly recommend them!!

    Arrived right on agreed schedule, maybe an hour time expended (including chat/payment etc. ), got new working key FOBs. Funtionality maybe not to exact original key fob operation, but car is useable again. Life saved

Frequently asked questions

How much do locksmiths typically charge?
Costs vary depending on the job — a simple key cut or rekey is usually much less than emergency entry or full hardware replacement. This page shows live pricing for local providers to help you compare options. Many locksmiths charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate and materials, and after-hours or emergency work generally attracts higher rates.
Do locksmiths charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and typically cover travel and the initial assessment. This fee is usually separate from labour and materials and may apply even for quick or small jobs. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum charge when getting quotes.
Do locksmiths need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Locksmithing is a licensed occupation across Australia, and in NSW licences are issued by the NSW Police Force — Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED). You should expect a provider to display a valid state security licence number and to hold industry credentials such as MLAA, LGA or ASIAL membership, a Certificate III in Locksmithing, an ABN with GST registration and appropriate public liability insurance.
Does Automotive Key Specialists have a verified ABN?
Yes. Automotive Key Specialists has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
