WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW?

Years ago when car keys were much less technical, replacing them was a simple matter: you could get vehicle keys cut easily (and cheaply) by pretty well any store offering a key-cutting service.

Now, though, car manufacturers are concentrating on vehicle security, meaning their keys are complicated (and expensive) electronic devices, and creating replacement keys involves:

  • Sourcing the correct type of key (manual, remote, or keyless)
  • Cutting the blade
  • Coding the immobiliser
  • Programming the key

Other factors that affect the cost of a replacement car key:

  • The vehicle make
  • The vehicle model
  • The year of manufacture
  • The vehicle specification
key

WARRANTY

New car keys carry a warranty of 12 months, wherever obtained. Repaired keys carry a warranty of 3 months if provided by our mobile technician service, or 6 months if purchased at one of our shops.

Not covered under warranty:

  • Abuse of the remote
  • Battery

NOTE:

Whether it’s an emergency or a less-urgent appointment, when our technician arrives and finds the problem doesn’t relate to the reason for the call out, a charge will apply.

For example, you could request a new key, but the old key works perfectly because the problem lies instead with the car.

We promise you the best customer service experience when it comes to car key replacement and auto locksmith services - and we have testimonials from thousands of satisfied customers that you can read here.

CHEAP VS QUALITY

The cheapest option is not always the best option! It is always cheaper to do the job right the first time.

You could buy a new TV for £70, but it won’t have the same picture quality as a more expensive model from a trusted brand.

And the same is definitely true with auto locksmiths – if you spend a lot of time enough calling around you probably will get quoted a lower price, but saving £10 on a new key could end up costing you much more in the long run. 

That’s because it’s for too easy for an inexperienced auto locksmith to corrupt a vehicle’s body control module – especially if he’s using cheap, non-genuine tools and inappropriate software. And fixing that particular problem is going to cost far more than the price of a properly-created and programmed duplicate or replacement key.
