What affects the price of a spare key?

A spare is the cheapest key job we do, but the exact price still depends on your car:

Key type — a mechanical blade, a transponder key, a remote fob or a keyless smart key are all different jobs.
Cut vs clone — where the car allows it, cloning your existing chip is the quick, cheaper route to a working spare.
Make, model and year — programming routes vary by manufacturer.

Because you’ve a working key for us to copy, a spare is far cheaper than a from-scratch replacement. Tell us your make, model and year for an exact quote.

Spare Key Cutting in Wrexham & North Wales FAQs

Do you need my working key present to cut a spare?

Ideally yes — a key the car already accepts is what keeps this a spare rather than a from-scratch job. Some vehicles allow a key to be cut to code from the VIN instead, so it is not an absolute, but having the original to hand is quicker and leaves less to go wrong. Arranging it while you still have one is a very different proposition to calling after it has gone.

Is a cloned spare as good as one programmed to the car?

For day-to-day use, yes. The difference is that a clone carries the original's identity rather than holding one of its own, so where your vehicle allows a separately programmed key that is the tidier route. We will tell you which one your car takes before starting.

Why does a spare have to be made at the vehicle rather than over a counter?

A blade copied from its profile alone gets you into the car and no further — the electronics have to match your specific vehicle. Even where cloning is the route, we do it at the vehicle so the finished key can be proved to start the engine before we leave, rather than handed over untested.

Is one spare enough, or should I have two?

One working key is a single point of failure. A second means that mislaying one, or a fob giving up without warning, stays an inconvenience rather than becoming a from-scratch job. Whether a third is worth having really depends on how many drivers the car has.
