A straightforward service built around trust

Locked out of your car? We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and explain your options before any work starts.

Lost Car Keys

Lost all your car keys? We can attend your location, gain access where needed, and cut and program a replacement key on site.

Replacement and spare key work is covered by our warranty policy for added peace of mind.

How replacement car keys work

When you call, we will first ask for your registration, make, model, year, location, and what has happened to the key. That helps us confirm compatibility and give you clear options before attending.

Once on site, we carry out proof of ownership checks before starting work. Depending on the vehicle and the problem, we can then gain entry, cut a new key, program the remote or transponder, and test everything before handover.

We will always explain what is possible, what the expected cost is, and whether there are any vehicle specific limitations before we begin.
