Car Remote Controls

Most of us have one, many of us rely on one. The remote communication to a vehicle or device is now commonplace in todays environment. It’s not just the TV anymore. Many modern vehicles can not be opened let alone started without the use of a frequency transmitting device. Gawler Lock and Key Service most likely has the right remote for your application. We are skilled in programming, using the correct procedures. Every remote is different. That’s the purpose of them after-all! Some of these procedures are very complex, others are relatively simple where we can provide you with an information sheet to assist you in ‘DIY’.

We strongly recommend that with regards to vehicle remote controls, you contact us and discuss your needs. Products purchased online may not be suitable and could have the potential to cause irrepairable damage to your vehicle’s computer, regardless of what the seller tells you. N.B. this is only a ‘buyer beware’ comment.

Automotive remote controls in particular are very specific to the vehicle brand, model, year and sometimes even month of manufacture. It can be unwise to ‘presume’ the specific detail of your vehicle. Our staff are fluent in the identification and analysis of your vehicle and it’s remote control system.
With strong support from our suppliers and access to the latest information available ‘on tap’, Gawler Lock and Key Service will set you right.

We are also skilled at replacing batteries in remotes. Quite often that is all that is required to keep you up and going. With an extensive range of the most common batteries this is generally a ‘while you wait’ service. Caution must be applied in dis-assembling devices as they often become destroyed through incorrect methods.Current vehicles run complex computers and any interference with them can be catastrophic. The use of proper diagnostic equipment is vital. A vehicles ‘fried’ computer can cost thousands of dollars to replace, let alone the inconvenience. Key generation should only be carried out by qualified technicians. We are most knowledgeable in these fields and take every precaution to ensure you and your car can motor on. Ultimately there are not too many vehicles we can’t cope with, but it always pays to call ahead and make an appointment, thus ensuring an informed and timely solution.

Older vehicles are welcome too. We take great pride in repairing and restoring locks in the ‘classic’ vehicles. Be it a 1969 Holden HT Monaro, a 1971 Ford XYGTHO or a 1934 Buick Roadster, BRING IT IN!! We will do everything we can to keep them going and up to original condition.
