Spare Car Key
Get a spare key cut before you need it — far cheaper and quicker than an "all keys lost" job later. We cut and program spares at your home or workplace, while you get on with your day. Call 07425 435697 now.
The cheapest key job is the one you plan
Here's the maths nobody tells you at the dealership: a spare key cut from your existing key costs a fraction of creating one after all keys are lost. Same key, same programming — just far less work, because we have something to copy from.
If you've only got one key, you're one bad day away from the expensive version of this job. Get the spare now.
When people call us for a spare
- Down to one key and it's wearing out. Blades wear, buttons get mushy. A tired key is a warning.
- Bought a used car with one key. Extremely common — and the first thing worth sorting on a new-to-you car.
- Want a backup before it's needed. For a partner, a family member, or just peace of mind. Sensible.
What happens when you call
- Tell us the make, model and year.
And what key type you've got, if you know.
- We quote before setting off.
Spare keys are straightforward to price — you'll get an exact figure.
- We come to you.
Home or work. You don't even need to stop what you're doing for long.
- We cut and program from your existing key.
Blade cut, chip programmed, tested in locks and ignition.
- You test both keys.
Old and new, everything working, then you pay.
What it costs
Spare keys are priced by key type more than anything:
- Basic transponder key — the simplest and cheapest.
- Flip key — a bit more, for the mechanism and programming.
- Smart / proximity fob — the priciest, but still far less than an all-keys-lost smart key job.
Make and year nudge it too. Exact price on the phone, as always.
Spare key questions, answered
How long does it take?
Not long — we come to you, cut and program from your existing key, and you're done. Most spares are sorted in a single short visit.
Can you copy my key if it's quite worn?
Usually yes, but tell us on the phone. If the blade is badly worn we may cut from the lock code instead of copying the wear — you get a better key that way.
Do I need to bring the car anywhere?
No. We come to you — home, work, wherever the car is. That's the whole point.
Will the spare do everything the original does?
Yes — locks, ignition, boot, and remote functions where your key type has them. We test it all before we leave.
