Why You Might Need a Replacement Key
These are the six most common reasons people search "car key replacement near me" and then call us.
Lost all your keys
Most common call-out. We come to the car, read the immobiliser through the OBD port, and generate a brand new key from scratch. 45–90 minutes, all done at your location.
Lost car keys service →Need a spare key
One working key and you want a backup before you lose it? We cut and programme a spare while you wait. Sensible, fast, and far cheaper than waiting until you lose your only key.
Spare key service →Key snapped in half
Broken blade, usually in the ignition. We extract it without damaging the barrel and cut a fresh key on the spot. Don't try it yourself — that's the #1 cause of needing a new barrel.
Broken key extraction →Bought a used car with one key
Private sale or dealership gave you one key. Smart move to get a spare before the weekend. We come to your new car and make a second key while you put the kettle on.
Spare car key guide →Immobiliser fault won't let car start
Light on, fault code in the ECU, car won't fire. Often a £50 antenna ring or a £40 re-sync — not the £500 module the dealer will quote.
Immobiliser repair service →Car came with no key at all
Inherited a car, bought a project, or the only key was lost years ago. We can still generate a key — no original needed.
