A small part of the New Zealand fleet, closely related to several Holden and Vauxhall models. Call with the model and year and we will confirm the key before coming out.
What we see on Opel keys
A small slice of the New Zealand fleet, closely related to a number of Holden and Vauxhall models. That relationship is often what makes a key possible, and it is worth checking rather than assuming.
Models we are asked for most: Corsa, Astra, Insignia, Mokka, Combo and Vivaro. If yours is not among them, ring anyway - the list is what comes up often, not a limit.
Worth knowing: Because Opel is uncommon here, ring rather than turning up expecting a while-you-wait job. A short conversation first is what makes it a single visit.
What we can do with a Opel
- Rekey the ignition or door locks where a key has been lost and you would rather it stopped working.
- Cut a key to match the ignition when a previous repair has left you with two different keys.
- Replace a key that has been through the wash, which is more common than any of us would like.
A cut key is not the same as a working key. Nearly every Opel on the road has an immobiliser. A key cut to the right shape will open the door and turn in the ignition, and the car will not start until the chip inside it has been programmed to that vehicle. Anywhere offering to cut a car key without mentioning programming is selling you half of one.
There is no shop to drive the Opel to, which is fortunate given you cannot open it. Have the model, the year, whether it is an import and whether a working key still exists ready when you ring - the four things we always ask - along with photo ID and proof the vehicle is yours.

Questions
Opel keys - your questions
Can you make a Opel key if I have lost all of them?
In most cases yes, and at the vehicle rather than at a dealership. It is a bigger job than duplicating from an existing key, so it costs more - but it very rarely means a tow. Ring with the model and year and we will tell you honestly what is involved for your Opel.
What if the key is snapped in the ignition?
We extract broken keys and can cut a replacement on the spot. Do not try to dig it out with pliers - a snapped key still lined up usually comes out cleanly, and one that has been chewed at often does not.
