What Types of Car Keys Can We Make or Replace?
Different vehicles use different types of keys and security systems. Depending on your car, we can help with:
Standard Car Keys
Traditional mechanical keys can often be cut to match your vehicle's existing key.
Remote Keys
Remote keys combine the physical key blade with buttons for functions such as central locking.
Transponder Keys
These keys contain a coded chip that communicates with the vehicle's immobiliser system. The key may need programming before the vehicle will start.
Key Fobs
If your vehicle uses a remote fob, we can supply and programme supported replacement or spare fobs.
Smart & Proximity Keys
Some newer vehicles use proximity or smart keys that allow keyless entry and starting. These require vehicle-specific programming.
Keyless Entry Keys
Modern keyless systems can require additional programming and security procedures depending on the vehicle.
When Should You Get a Replacement Car Key?
You don't have to wait until your last key stops working. A spare or replacement key can be helpful if:
If your key has already been lost or stolen and you have no working key available, our Emergency Car Key Replacement service may be more appropriate.
Car Key Cutting and Programming: What's the Difference?
Cutting and programming are two separate parts of making many modern car keys.
Key cutting creates the physical blade so it can operate the vehicle's mechanical locks.
Key programming connects the electronic part of the key to the vehicle's security system so functions such as starting the engine, central locking, or remote controls work correctly.
Some vehicles need both. Depending on the model and year, others might use different systems.
Everything You Need to Know About Car Key Replacement
From spare keys and programming to pricing and mobile service, here's what you need to know before getting a replacement car key.
Using Your Current Key
Spare key from existing key
Yes, where the vehicle and key system are supported, we can use your existing working key as the basis for an additional key.
Having only one working key is actually a good reason to arrange a spare before something happens to it.
If you have no working key at all because it has been lost or stolen, that's a different service. In that situation, see our Emergency Car Key Replacement page.
Why Does a Car Key Need Programming?
Electronic security explained
Modern car keys often have built-in electronics that connect with the vehicle's security system.
Simply cutting the metal blade isn't always enough. Depending on the vehicle, the key may also need to be programmed so the immobiliser recognises it and the remote or smart functions operate correctly.
The exact programming process varies between manufacturers and models.
