Lost Your Only Key?

Here's what usually happens next

If you've lost the only key to your vehicle, the process is a little different from cutting a spare from an existing key. Depending on the vehicle and its security system, a replacement may still be possible, but it typically involves confirming ownership and, in many cases, programming a new key directly to the vehicle.

If you do still have a spare key anywhere — at home, with a family member, or in another bag or coat — let us know, as this can sometimes make the process quicker and more straightforward.

Supported Key Types

We work with a range of vehicle key systems

Transponder Keys

These require the chip to be programmed to your vehicle's immobiliser as well as being cut correctly.

Remote Fobs

Combine a physical key with remote buttons — replacement usually involves both cutting and programming.
