Lost, broken or locked in the trunk
Keys snapped in the ignition, stolen on holiday, or shut in the trunk at the airport. Our technicians carry the software and tools to cut and program a new set on the spot.
Rekeying is far cheaper than replacing every lock, so if you are down to one transponder or smart fob it is worth having a spare made before you need it.
Every make and model
Key types we cut and program
Different vehicles need different keys. These are the ones we carry equipment for.
- Transponder and chip keys
- A chip in the key head has to be programmed to your car before the engine will start. We program these on site.
- Laser cut and double sided keys
- Cut on a milling machine rather than a standard key cutter, with the groove down the centre of the blade instead of along the edge.
- Smart key fobs and keyless entry
- Duplication and programming for push button start fobs and keyless entry remotes, including a replacement when every fob is lost.
- GM VATS keys
- Keys carrying a resistor pellet read by the vehicle's anti theft system. We identify the value and cut to match.
- Jaguar Tibbe keys
- A tubular style key cut to a different pattern from standard automotive keys, needing its own tooling.
- High security keys
- Restricted profile keys for vehicles that use them, cut to the original specification without a trip to the dealer.
Common questions
Can you make a car key if I have lost every copy?
Yes. Our technicians are equipped with the software and tools to cut and program a new set of keys on the spot, without damaging your vehicle and without towing it to the dealer.
Which types of car key can you cut and program?
Transponder and chip keys, laser cut and double sided high security keys, GM VATS keys, Jaguar Tibbe keys, and smart key fobs including duplication and programming.
Can you replace a car ignition?
Yes. We provide ignition replacement and installation, and we extract keys that have snapped off inside the ignition.
Do you work on motorcycles and scooters?
Yes. Motorcycle and scooter key replacement is part of our automotive service, alongside cars, SUVs and trucks.
Is a duplicate key cheaper than a full replacement?
Yes, significantly. Car key duplication and lock rekeying cost far less than replacing keys and locks outright, so if you are down to a single transponder or smart fob it is worth having a spare cut before you need it.
Which makes and models do you cover?
Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Corvette, Daihatsu, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, GM, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Ram, Saab, Scion, Smart Automobile, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo.
