Making a key when you have nothing to copy is the hardest version of the job, so we do not shy away from it. And it means something good for you: if we can make a key from nothing, adding a spare while you still have one is the easy part.
We come to your car, cut and programme a new key, and where the vehicle allows we remove the lost keys from its memory. Usually no tow to a dealer, no waiting for parts to be ordered.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a replacement car key cost?
Every vehicle is different, so we quote each job individually. Examples of our fixed prices: mobile call-out £80 (covers basic diagnosis, checks, immobiliser faults and simple remote coding), simple spare key £60, key reshell or refurbishment from £30. Message us your registration for an exact price.
What does the £80 call-out fee cover?
The call-out fee covers basic diagnosis, checks, immobiliser faults and simple remote coding. If the diagnosis shows a new key is needed and you accept a spare key during the same visit, we waive the call-out fee.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We run a mobile service across Peterborough and anywhere within 20 miles at no extra travel charge, and up to around 30 miles with any travel charge agreed in advance. You can also visit our unit at 17 Fenlake Business Centre, Peterborough, PE1 5BQ.
