Lost all your car keys? That's fine.

"All keys lost" is the job most people think needs a main dealer. It doesn't. We read the security data from your car, cut a new blade to the original code and program a new key and remote to the immobiliser — all from the van, wherever the car is parked. Any old keys that were lost can be deleted from the car's memory at the same time, so if they turn up in the wrong hands they won't start it.

Keys we replace

  • Standard and transponder keys — the chipped keys in most cars since the late '90s.
  • Remote and flip keys — including Ford, Vauxhall, VW group and Peugeot/Citroën flip keys.
  • Keyless / proximity (smart) keys — push-button-start cars from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan and more.
  • Broken keys and worn blades — snapped blades, split cases and keys that won't turn in the lock or ignition.

How it works

  1. Send us the details. Registration, make/model and your postcode on WhatsApp or by phone. We'll give you a fixed price before we set off.
  2. Show proof of ownership. Before any key is made we check photo ID against the V5C logbook (or a finance/insurance document). This protects you — and it's what any reputable locksmith should ask for.
  3. Cut, program and test. The new key is cut, coded to the car and tested on locks, remote and ignition before we leave.

How much does a replacement car key cost?

It depends on the make, model and year. As a guide, simple remote keys start from around £100 and keyless proximity keys can be £350+. That's often 30–60% less than a main dealer, who will usually also need the car brought to them. You get a fixed quote upfront — no call-out surprises — and every key carries a 1-year warranty.

Getting a spare at the same time? The second key is half price when cut together with the first.

FAQ

Car Key Replacement: common questions

Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new key when every original is lost, for most makes and models — usually on the spot, without towing the car.
What do I need to have with me?
Photo ID and proof that the car is yours — normally the V5C logbook. If the logbook is not to hand, a finance agreement or insurance certificate in your name usually works; just ask.
Will the lost keys still work?
Not if you don't want them to. When we program a new key we can remove any lost keys from the car's memory so they can no longer start it.
How long does it take?
Most replacements are done in 30–90 minutes once we arrive. Some newer cars with all keys lost can take up to two hours.
