Quick answer
All keys lost is the one scenario most people assume means a trip to the dealer on a recovery truck. It doesn't have to be. We create new car keys from nothing — no working key, no spare, no code card needed — at your car, anywhere in Birmingham.
We extract the key data from the vehicle itself, cut a new blade to factory spec, program it into the immobiliser and test everything. We're available 24/7 on 07425 435697, and as always, we quote on the phone before we set off.
How it usually happens
- Only key lost
- Only key stolen
- Only key snapped beyond repair

What 'all keys lost' involves technically
With no working key, we can't just clone — we have to generate. We either decode the mechanical lock to cut the blade, or pull the key code and immobiliser data through the OBD port using specialist diagnostic equipment. The new key is then introduced to the car's immobiliser system, and all previously lost keys are erased so they can't be used to start the car again.
The one situation where we can't help
A small number of very new models use manufacturer-locked security systems that block third-party access to the key data — in those cases even we can't generate a key, and only the dealer can. We'll ask for your make, model and year on the phone and tell you straight whether yours is affected, before either of us wastes a journey.
What it costs
It depends on the car — anyone quoting one flat price without asking the make and model is guessing. We confirm the exact figure on the phone before we set off.
- Make and year — newer cars use more complex security
- Key type
- Time and location
All Keys Lost — questions we get asked
I have literally no keys and no code card — can you really make one?
Yes, that's exactly what an all-keys-lost job is. We generate the key from the car's own data, so a code card is helpful but not required. All we need is the car itself, and your ID and proof of ownership.
Do I need to get the car towed to you?
No — we're fully mobile, so we come to wherever the car is in Birmingham, Solihull or Sutton Coldfield. Towing is only needed in the rare cases where the car has manufacturer-locked security that needs dealer-level access.
How is this different from just getting a spare key?
A spare is cloned or added alongside a working key, which is quick and simple. All-keys-lost means generating a key from scratch and teaching the immobiliser to accept it — it takes longer and needs more specialist kit, which is why we confirm the details on the phone first.
Can the lost keys be used to steal my car afterwards?
We erase all previous keys from the immobiliser when we program the new ones, so none of the lost keys can start the engine. If the keys were stolen and you want the door locks changed too, ask us — we'll advise honestly.
What documents do I need to show?
Photo ID (usually your driving licence) and proof of ownership — the V5C logbook or a purchase invoice. We check both on every job, no exceptions. If they're locked inside the car, we'll deal with that once we're in.
