Ask Smithy Xtra Lost keys for Holden Crewman

We have lost one set of keys to our Holden Crewman and while the other key still starts the car the locking device on the key is worn and not working properly. I have been told that I will need to send the car back to Australia so they can reprogram a new set of keys, but that would cost $10,000, nearly the same as the cost of the car. What can I do?

The key is programmed to the car so any locksmith needs both to supply you with a new key. But if it’s just the locking part of the key that’s a problem, and the key still starts the car, then you might be able to have the key head reprogrammed by a locksmith in Australia, who will be able to instruct you on what you need to do to mate the new key head with the car once it’s returned to you. Try Port Melbourne Locksmiths on 03 9645 1222 for more information, but you could try other locksmiths as well.
