Japanese import keys we cut and program

Many Hamilton cars are Japanese imports, and dealers here don't always stock keys for import-only models or variants. We cut and program keys for Japanese imports from Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Suzuki and more. Whether it's a transponder key, a remote or a smart key, we offer spare keys, replacements, programming, lockouts and door lock barrel repair, normally in one visit. Have your rego and proof of ownership ready and we'll give upfront pricing first. Our emergency callouts run 24/7. See car key replacement Hamilton.

Lost all your Japanese import keys?

We can make a new Japanese import key from scratch, decoding the lock or using the key code, then programming it to the car. Where the car allows, we remove the lost keys so they can no longer start it. You'll need proof you own the vehicle. See our lost car keys Hamilton page.

Spare Japanese import key

A spare Japanese import key made while you still have one working is quicker and simpler than replacing the last one. We cut the blade and program a matching chip, remote or smart key.

Japanese import remote and fob problems

Remote only working up close? It's often the battery, and we'll change it on the spot. Cracked cases and worn buttons can often be fixed by moving the working electronics into a new shell. See key fob replacement Hamilton and smart keys Hamilton.

Japanese import key questions

Can you make a Japanese import key if I've lost all of them?

Usually, yes. We create a key from the vehicle and remove the lost keys from the immobiliser so they can't start the car. See our lost car keys Hamilton page.

Do I need to go to the dealer?

Usually not. We bring the cutting and programming equipment to your car. Some late-model systems can only be coded by the dealer, and we'll tell you on the phone if yours is one.

How long does it take?

Most jobs are done in one visit. We'll give you an idea when you call.

What do I need when you arrive?

Your make, model, year (the rego helps) and proof of ownership (registration papers and ID).

How much will it cost?

It depends on your model, year and key type. Call 0800 562 571 and we'll give you upfront pricing before we start.

Do you do emergency callouts 24/7?

Our emergency callouts run 24/7. Our Glenview shop is open Mon–Fri 9–5:30 and Sat 10–1.

Can you fix a sticky door lock or ignition?

Yes, we repair door lock barrels and ignitions, and can rekey them so your existing key still works where possible.
