All-Keys-Lost Specialists
Lost Your Car Keys?
Same-Day Replacement, Anywhere
Whether you've lost your only key, had it stolen, or just can't find it, we come to your car and make a brand-new one from scratch. No dealer visit, no recovery truck, no waiting for a key to arrive from Germany. We do it on your driveway, in your work car park, or at the roadside.
What Happens When You Call
From the moment you ring, the whole process is designed to get you driving again as fast as possible.
Quote over the phone
Give us your reg number, we tell you the price. No surprises, no call-out fee.
We drive to your car
30–45 min response in Scarborough. You stay where you are.
Read & programme
We plug into your OBD port, read the immobiliser, and programme a fresh key.
Drive away
Lost keys deleted from the car. New key works first time. You drive home.
What You'll Need on the Call
To give you an exact quote over the phone, I'll need a few details. None of this is a problem if you don't have it — I can usually work it out from the car itself.
Your registration number
Tells me the exact make, model and year — and which key profile the car uses.
Your current location
Postcode, what3words, or a landmark. I dispatch from Scarborough and can be anywhere within 25 miles within the hour.
Where the keys were lost
Important for insurance and for deciding whether the door locks need re-coding (only if the keys were stolen with anything showing your address).
A photo of the key blade (if you have one)
Helps me confirm whether you've got an older metal key, a remote, or a proximity smart key.
Lost Key Prices
The price depends on two things: the car, and whether you still have a working key to copy from. An all-keys-lost job costs more than a spare because I have to read the immobiliser from scratch and erase the missing keys so they can't start the car.
Basic non-remote key
Older cars, plain transponder chip
Remote fob
Ford, Vauxhall, VW and most everyday cars
Smart proximity key
BMW, Mercedes, Audi — push-to-start
All keys lost
No working key — immobiliser read from scratch
What changes the quote
- • The car's security system — modern cars with component protection take longer and need online authorisation.
- • Whether you have a spare — with a working key to read, the job is quicker and cheaper.
- • Key type — a plain blade is a fraction of the cost of a proximity smart key.
Give me your reg number on the phone and I'll quote you exactly before I set off. If the car turns out to need something unexpected, I'll tell you before doing the work — the quote doesn't change behind your back.
