Lost car keys – what are your options?
Losing your car keys is stressful. You might be stuck at home, outside work or miles from anywhere, wondering how you’re going to move the vehicle and what it will cost to sort out.
A main dealer will often:
- Ask you to have the car recovered to their workshop
- Make you wait days for an appointment and new keys
- Charge dealer-level prices for programming and labour
A mobile car locksmith comes to you instead. We can usually cut and programme a new key at the roadside, on your drive or at your workplace – saving you the cost and hassle of recovery.
Replacement car keys supplied, cut and programmed
Our locksmiths use specialist key-cutting machines and diagnostic tools in fully equipped vans. Once we’ve confirmed your vehicle details and ID, we can normally:
- Supply a suitable replacement key or key fob for your make and model
- Cut the key blade to match your locks and ignition
- Programme the transponder chip so the car recognises the new key
- Programme remote locking buttons where applicable
- Erase lost keys from the system in many cases, so they no longer start the car
In many situations we can do all of this in a single visit, getting you back on the road far quicker than waiting for a dealership appointment.
Types of car keys we can replace
Standard car keys
Traditional metal keys with or without a separate immobiliser chip. We cut the blade and programme the chip where required.
Remote keys and key fobs
Keys with lock/unlock buttons on the fob. We can clone or programme new remotes so you keep the convenience of central locking.
Transponder keys
Most modern cars use transponders that talk to the immobiliser. We programme the new key so the car will start normally.
Flip keys
Keys that fold into the fob body. We supply new flip keys and set them up to work with your vehicle where possible.
Common lost key situations we deal with
Lost car keys with no spare
If you’ve lost your only key, we can often create a new one from your locks and immobiliser system. You don’t always need a spare to copy from.
Stolen car keys
If your keys have been stolen, we can usually programme new keys and remove the old ones from the system so they no longer start the car. This helps protect your vehicle from theft.
Lost key while out and about
Keys lost on a night out, during shopping or on a day trip? A mobile locksmith can come to where the car is parked and create a new key on-site.
Broken or damaged keys
If your key has snapped, bent or the buttons have failed, we can often transfer the internal electronics into a new shell or supply a complete replacement.

Lost car keys – FAQs
How much do replacement car keys cost?
The price depends on your vehicle, the type of key and your location. We’ll ask a few quick questions, then give you a clear price or price range before you decide.
Can you help if I have no key at all?
In many cases, yes. We can often create a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data, even when you have no working key to copy from.
Do I have to tow the car to you?
No – we’re a mobile service. We come to your vehicle, whether it’s on your drive, at work or in a public car park.
What if my car keys were stolen?
If your keys were stolen, we can usually programme new keys and remove the old ones from the system so they no longer start the vehicle. We also recommend speaking to your insurer and, if necessary, the police.
Can you also help if I’m locked out of the car?
Yes. If your keys are locked inside the vehicle rather than lost, see our locked keys in car page for details of our non-destructive entry service.
