Who are the key shops in New Zealand?

[Hacking]

With alot of legend shops closing, whos left.
I was a huge fan off haldene's back in mt eden V8 two stroke motorbuikt for a sprint car, former GP bikes on display or Crosby having his factory F1 on display or Wellington motorcycles having sponsored alot off central district bikes back in the day always had race bikes on display.

[Big Dave]

Mr Minute.

[Hitcher]

Wellington Locksmiths.
Master Locksmiths.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I've always been happy with Ross Galt Locksmiths down here.

[White trash]

Beveridge Locksmiths give the best service I reckon.

[ducatilover]

I always go black market for my keys :niceone:

[Stirts]

There is always mystery shopping, if you're that way inclined?

So you've been to DB's house then? :rolleyes:

[Gremlin]

Depends what sort of key you're after. Sometimes the manufacturer is reasonable on keys, and costs about the same... no issues with it not working aye.

some of them are really expensive because they have built in chips and such that are keyed to the ECU: Honda HISS for example. (car ones are worse: a Honda Legend key fob was quoted at about $600 a few years ago)

[Berries]

I'd go and see John.

Junior destroyed the key to the S600 like only a Jnr can. It was worth paying the insurance excess.

[Woodman]

I bent my key in a crash a few weeks back, so was wondering the same. My wife calls me mr minit,but I,m not a locksmith:weird:.

[Laava]

Fingers Mc heistmeister, can open anything, oh but he is not a shop. As you were.

[mashman]

Mermaids....

[HenryDorsetCase]

Poor old OP: I am feeling somewhat sorry for him. Still, if he ever needs a locksmith...

[Hitcher]

He needs an editor more than he needs a locksmith.

[Maha]

This thread is not about keys, of any description. Besides, the Minute Man takes three working days.

[Edbear]

I thought Parliament was the place for finding Key... :rolleyes:

[Woodman]

What about John key?:(

Edit, fuck, slower than ed

Despite the fantastic irreverence of this thread, it's one I actually have a personal interest in :( The car key fairies which only come out when we're asleep spirited off the main remote key for our 2005 RAV 4. I was told that it would cost $800 to replace. We've just been running on a single chipped non-remote key since then and understand that even this will cost $200 to replace. Anyone been in a similar position and found a more economical way round it?

Become the car remote fairy and sell the keys back to the industry. They can sell them back to the owners at a one off price, just because they're nice.

Buy from overseas.
Get it programmed to your car (or in the case of EWS style systems it comes programmed to you car after supplying the VIN)
Sometimes you can find the info on how to program it yourself :niceone:


Never, ever go to the dealer. The price they ask is more than taking the piss, it's more than rude too.

Hey, thanks for the thought - have just checked eBay and need to do more research but the difference in price is night and day - effing outrageous in NZ, straight price gouging. Cheers and much appreciated :niceone:

It's the 2.4 litre engine so I guess 3rd gen.

[Big Dave]

He said 'key shops' - not Ghey shops.

[jellywrestler]

What about John key?

take him out and get him drunk, then you'll be getting a 'Key Cut'!
