Car Key Replacement by Key State
Four services replace a key, and the state of the old key decides which one applies.
Car Key Replacement
A new key is cut and programmed for a vehicle whose key is lost, stolen, broken or worn, from £120.
Lost Car Key Replacement
The key is made from the vehicle itself, because no working key remains to copy.
Spare Car Key
A second key is copied from the working key before the last key is lost.
Broken Car Key Repair
A snapped blade is extracted from the lock or the ignition, and a new key is cut from the pieces.
Car Key Cutting and Programming
Two services make a key work in one vehicle.
Car Key Cutting
The metal blade is cut by key code or copied from a working key, so that it turns the locks.
Car Key Programming
The chip in the key is paired with the immobiliser, so that the engine starts.
Key Fob and Battery Services
Two services deal with the remote part of the key.
Key Fob Repair
A fob with worn buttons, a cracked case or a dead remote is tested, then repaired or replaced.
Car Key Battery Replacement
The coin cell in the fob is changed for the correct size and the remote is tested against the car.
Vehicle Entry and Emergency Call Outs
Two services get a stranded driver back into the vehicle.
Emergency Auto Locksmith
Urgent calls from the roadside are answered 24 hours a day, with a typical response of around 30 minutes.
Car Lockout Service
A locked vehicle is opened with non-destructive entry methods, from £100.
Ignition and Immobiliser Services
Two services deal with a key that goes in and a car that still does not start.
Ignition Repair
A stiff, jammed or worn ignition barrel is repaired or replaced where the vehicle stands.
Immobiliser Fault Diagnostics
The reason a car no longer recognises its key is traced from the chip to the immobiliser.
Van and Light Commercial Vehicle Keys
One service covers working vehicles.
Van Key Replacement
Keys for vans and light commercial vehicles are cut and programmed at the yard, at the depot or at the roadside.
