Spare Car Keys

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.

We cut and program spare keys at your address, so you do not need to book a garage slot or leave the car anywhere.

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.

Getting a price

Spare key prices depend on the key type your vehicle uses — a basic remote, a flip key or a proximity smart key are all different parts. Send the registration and we will confirm what your car takes and quote for it.

Spare Car Keys FAQs

Can you make spare car keys?

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

Does the spare need to be programmed?

Almost always. Modern keys contain a transponder that has to be recognised by the immobiliser, and remote or proximity functions need programming too.

Do you come to me?

Yes. We are a mobile service and carry cutting and programming equipment to the vehicle.
