Question 1

How much does it cost to replace a car key in the UK?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your make, model and the type of key, but you always get a clear, fixed price agreed before any work starts. A simple spare is cheaper than an all keys lost job on a keyless car, but either way there are no surprises at the kerbside, no call-out fee, and if we cannot sort it there is no charge at all. Send us your reg for an exact quote.

Question 2

How do you price a job?

Accepted Answer

We price the job, not your panic. You get a clear, fixed price agreed before any work starts, so there are no surprises at the kerbside. No call-out fee, ever, and if we cannot sort it, there is no charge at all.

Question 3

I've lost all my car keys, can you still help?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, lost car keys is one of the most common calls we get. As seasoned auto locksmiths we cut and program a fresh key on your driveway and wipe the old keys from the immobiliser, so there is no main-dealer recovery and no long wait.

Question 4

Can you make a replacement or spare car key at my home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything is done at the roadside or on your driveway. We cut and program replacement and spare car keys on the spot, so there is no need to tow the car anywhere or book it into a dealer.

Question 5

How much is a replacement car key compared to a main dealer?

Accepted Answer

In most cases a mobile auto locksmith works out cheaper than a main dealer, and far more convenient. There is no recovery cost, no dealer booking wait, and we come to you with a fixed price agreed up front.

Question 6

Do you replace keyless entry and push to start keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We cut and program smart keys, proximity fobs and keyless push to start systems, as well as traditional blade keys and remotes, on almost every car on UK roads.

Question 7

Can you replace a car key fob battery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and often it is a quick, low cost fix. If your remote has gone unresponsive it can simply be a flat fob battery rather than a fault, so it is always worth asking before assuming you need a whole new key.

Question 8

My key snapped or is stuck in the ignition or lock, can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We extract broken keys from ignitions, door locks and boots, then cut and program a fresh working key so you are back on the road without damaging the barrel.

Question 9

I'm locked out of my car, how fast can you get me in?

Accepted Answer

Fast. Car lockouts are an everyday job for us. Average response is around 30 to 45 minutes, often sooner in town, and we open the car without damage then sort a key if you need one.

Question 10

How quickly can you reach me?

Accepted Answer

We aim to be with you fast. Average response is around 30 to 45 minutes, often sooner in town. We have mobile auto locksmiths on call 24 hours a day across the UK.

Question 11

Which makes and models do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Almost every car on UK roads. Years of experience across BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW, Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Renault, Citroën, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia and Land Rover, plus vans and motorbikes, with all key types and lockouts.

Question 12

Do you cut keys for vans and motorbikes too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside cars we cover vans and motorbikes, including remote and transponder keys, so tradespeople and riders are covered as well as everyday drivers.

Question 13

What do you need from me to make a new key?

Accepted Answer

Usually just your vehicle registration, the make, model and year, and proof that the car is yours. From the reg we identify the exact key and immobiliser system before we arrive, so the job is right first time.

Question 14

Will a new key wipe or affect my existing keys?

Accepted Answer

On an all keys lost job we can erase old lost keys from the immobiliser for your security, so they can no longer start the car. If you just want an extra spare, your current keys keep working as normal.

Question 15

Is it cheaper than Timpson or Halfords for car keys?

Accepted Answer

For coded car keys and transponders we bring dealer level programming direct to your driveway, which shops that only cut simple blades cannot always do. You get a fixed price up front, so you can compare with total confidence.

Question 16

Are you fully trained and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are fully trained, fully insured and DBS checked locksmiths on every key we cut and code. You are in safe, experienced hands.

Question 17

Are you available 24/7?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a genuine 24-hour mobile service with locksmiths near you across the UK, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

Question 18

How long does it take to program a new car key?

Accepted Answer

Most jobs are done in under an hour on the driveway, from cutting the blade to programming the transponder and remote. More complex all keys lost jobs can take a little longer, and we tell you before we start.

Question 19

How can I pay?

Accepted Answer

Whatever's easiest: card, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay, cash or bank transfer. Payment is taken on completion, never up front, with no call-out fee.
