Brentwood, Essex
Spare Car Keys Brentwood
Households here commonly run two or three cars, and the least-used one is usually the one with a single key. Spare keys cut and programmed on your driveway in CM13 to CM15 remove the risk entirely, and on premium models the saving against a dealership route is normally the largest of any job we do.
A spare key is far cheaper and far less stressful than a lost key. Plenty of used cars are sold with only one key, and the day that key is lost or damaged the job becomes an all keys lost recovery instead of a simple duplicate.

Where we work in Brentwood
We are a mobile service with no shop or workshop, so the job happens wherever your vehicle is standing in Brentwood — on a driveway, in a car park, at work or at the roadside where it is safe to work. CM13, CM14, CM15 is inside our normal coverage.
Local details that come up on spare car keys calls here: all-day commuter parking at Brentwood and Shenfield stations; driveway and garage parking across CM13 to CM15; a high share of newer keyless and premium vehicles.
Why a spare is worth having
With a working key present, a spare is usually a shorter and simpler job than producing a key from scratch. It also means a single failed remote or a key dropped down a drain does not immobilise the vehicle.
Keys for work vans and shared vehicles
Vans and pool cars often need more than one key in circulation. We can supply and program additional keys so drivers are not passing a single key between them.
Proof of ownership
For vehicle security we may ask for proof of ownership or authority to access the vehicle — typically photo ID plus a V5C, insurance document or a hire/company letter — before locksmith work is carried out.

My key is lost and the car is at Shenfield station — can you help there?
Yes. Tell us the car park and bay along with the registration and we will attend the vehicle.

Yes, for many makes and models. Send your registration number so we can confirm the key type and availability for your vehicle.
