Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our car key replacement and specialist mobile locksmith services across the Chilterns.
How much does a replacement car key cost?
The cost depends on your vehicle's make, model, year, and the type of key required (e.g., standard transponder, remote fob, or smart key). We provide fixed, no-obligation quotes before we start, so there are never any hidden surprises or call-out fees added later.
What information do I need to provide for a quote?
To give you an accurate price, we need your vehicle's make and model, the year of registration, your current location, and how many keys you require.
How does your mobile service work?
We bring the workshop to you. We are fully equipped with the latest key cutting and programming technology. We meet you at your home, workplace, or any roadside location within our service area to complete the job on-site.
Do you cover my type of car and key?
We work with a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars and light commercials. Our services cover transponder keys, remote fobs, and modern keyless entry systems for most major brands.
How long does it take to create a new key?
Most appointments take between 30 and 60 minutes. This includes precision cutting the blade and programming the internal transponder and remote functions to your vehicle's immobiliser system.
Are your keys and programming guaranteed?
Yes. All of our keys and professional programming come with a full guarantee. We use high-quality components and the latest software to ensure your new key works reliably for the long term.
How and when do I pay?
Payment is only taken once the job is completed and you have tested your new key. We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as cash, for your convenience.
Can I visit you rather than using the mobile service?
While we are primarily a mobile service designed for your convenience, we do offer pre-booked appointments at our location for non-urgent work such as cutting spare keys.
