Car Key Cutting & Programming in Essex

Lost your only key? Need a spare? We cut and programme car keys at your vehicle, so you do not need to tow it to a dealer.

Modern keys are more than a piece of cut metal. Most contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to the vehicle, and many include remote locking buttons. Our mobile service cuts and programmes the key at your car, so a lost key does not turn into a tow to a main dealer and a week-long wait.

Whether you have one key and want a spare, or you have lost every key, call us with your registration and the make and model. We will tell you what is possible and what it will cost before we start.

Questions

Can you make a key if I have lost all my keys?

In most cases yes. Call us with your registration and the vehicle details and we will confirm what is possible for your make and model.

Do I need to bring my car to you?

No. We come to the vehicle, so there is no need to tow it.

Do I need proof of ownership?

Yes. We will ask for proof that the vehicle is yours - such as the V5C and photo ID - before cutting a key.

Can you repair a key fob?

Often. Worn buttons, a broken case or a flat battery can usually be fixed without a replacement.
