Need a spare Holden key?
A spare is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your Holden. Making one while a key still works is quicker, and costs less, than starting from nothing after the last one goes missing.
We come to the car, cut the blade if it has one, code the chip or smart key to your Holden, and test it on the doors and ignition before we leave. For most Holden models it takes roughly 30 minutes after we reach the car. More on spare keys.
Lost every Holden key?
You don’t need the original, and you don’t need a tow truck. We make a new Holden key at the car, using the car itself.
Have these ready:
- Photo ID
- Proof you own the car, such as the rego papers
- The VIN if you can find it (it’s on the rego papers, and usually at the base of the windscreen)
Once the new key works, we remove the lost ones from the car’s system so they can’t start the engine. They may still open the doors, so rekey or replace anything they were on. More on car key replacement.
Locked out of your Holden?
Keys locked inside, or in the boot? We open Holdens without damage to the paint, the seals or the lock. Car openings never cause damage.
If a smart key is sitting inside a locked car, don’t keep pressing buttons on the spare. Call us, tell us where the car is, and we’ll say straight away when we can get there. More on lockouts.
Utes, vans and fleets
The Colorado was a common work ute. A spare for each driver saves a lot of hassle.
Holden keys, explained
Holden stopped selling new cars in 2020, and dealer support is thinning out. If you’re down to one key for a Commodore or Colorado, now is the time to get a spare. The ZB Commodore and the later Astra were built in Europe by Opel but sold here as Holdens, and we make keys for those too.

Can you make a Holden key without the original?
Yes. We make it at the car from scratch, and remove the lost keys from the car’s system.

Roughly 30 minutes after we reach the car for most models. We don’t promise arrival times, but we’ll tell you honestly when we can get there.
Do I need to tow my Holden to a dealer?
No. We drive out to wherever the car is and do everything there.
What do I need to show you?
Photo ID and proof you own the car. The VIN helps too.

No. Car openings never cause damage.
Can you make a spare key for a VE Commodore?

We don’t repair or rekey ignitions, fix car door locks or remove keys stuck in ignitions. We’ll put you onto someone who does.
