All Keys Lost? We Can Still Help
Lost every key to your car? It's called "all keys lost" in the trade — and no, it doesn't mean a tow to the dealer. We create a new key from your car's own security data, at the car, in one visit. Call 07425 435697 now — open 24/7.
Yes, really — no working key needed
Most people assume that with no key at all, the car has to go to a dealer on a tow truck. For the vast majority of cars, that's not true. Your car's security system holds the data we need — we read it, generate a new key, and program it to the car. All at the roadside.
It takes longer than copying from a spare, and it costs more. But it's one visit, no tow, no waiting days for a dealer appointment.
How it usually happens
- The only key is lost. One key, now gone. The most common all-keys-lost call.
- The only key was stolen. Tell us — we'll make sure the stolen key is wiped from the car so it can never start it.
- The only key snapped beyond repair. Sometimes there's nothing left to copy from. We work from the car's data instead.
What happens when you call
- Tell us the make, model and year.
This matters more than usual — the car's security system decides the method.
- We quote honestly.
All-keys-lost costs more than a spare. We'll give you the exact figure, not a range that doubles on arrival.
- We come to the car.
It doesn't need to move. We work where it sits.
- We verify ownership carefully.
With no key to prove it's yours, we check ID and paperwork properly. Expect us to be thorough — it's for your protection.
- We create and program the new key.
From the car's data, on the spot. You test everything before paying.
What it costs
Straight talk: all-keys-lost is the most involved key job there is, and it's priced accordingly. What moves it:
- Make and year — newer cars, more complex security, more work.
- Key type — a basic transponder is one thing; a smart fob is another.
- Time and location — as always, we'll tell you upfront.
You'll get the full price on the phone. And when we're done, get a spare cut — it's a fraction of what you've just paid, and it means you never end up here again.
All-keys-lost questions, answered
Can you really make a key with nothing to copy from?
Yes, for most cars. We read the car's immobiliser data and generate a new key from it, then program it. It's standard work for us — not a miracle, just the right equipment and know-how.
Will my car need to be towed anywhere?
No. We do the whole job where the car is sitting — your drive, a car park, the roadside. That's the point of a mobile service.
How do you know the car is mine if I have no key?
Photo ID plus the V5C logbook or other proof of ownership. We're deliberately careful here — creating a key from scratch is exactly the job where checks matter most.
My only key was stolen. What about the stolen key?
When we program your new key, we wipe the stolen one from the car's system. After that it won't start the car. Mention the theft when you call so we build it into the job.
Is it cheaper to go to the dealer?
Almost never — dealers charge for the key, the programming, and often the tow to get the car to them. We're usually faster and cheaper, and we come to you. Get a quote from both if you like; we'll still be here.
