How To Get A New Key

1. Tell Us Your Car

Call us with your Make, Model, Year, and Location. We’ll verify we have the correct blank key and fob in stock and give you a fixed quote.

2. Mobile Deployment

We deploy directly to your vehicle’s location. You do not need to arrange an expensive tow truck to take your car to the dealership.

3. Cut & Program

We decode the locks to cut the physical metal blade, then use advanced diagnostics to program the new immobilizer chip directly to your car’s ECU.

Lost Keys Deleted

For your security, when we program your new key, we will automatically erase the lost keys from your vehicle’s computer system. If someone finds your old keys, they will not be able to start your engine.

Lost Key FAQs

Answers to common key replacement questions.

Do I need the original key for you to make a new one?

No, you don’t. While having a spare makes the process slightly faster (for cloning), we can completely replace lost keys from scratch. We use specialist tools to decode the locks on the car to cut the physical blade, and diagnostic software to program the new chip.

Is it cheaper than going to the main dealership?

Yes, almost always. The main dealership will usually require you to pay to have the vehicle towed to their garage, and then make you wait several days (sometimes weeks) while they order the key from the factory. We come directly to you and do it on the same day, saving you towing fees and downtime.

What happens if someone finds my lost key?

They won’t be able to start your car. When we plug our diagnostic computers into your vehicle to program the new key, we wipe the immobilizer’s memory. This deactivates the lost key. If it is inserted into the ignition, the engine will simply refuse to start.
