All Keys Lost — New Keys Made From Scratch

Losing every single key to a car is a different problem entirely from a standard lockout. There's no spare to fall back on and no old key to copy from, which means the whole process has to start from zero — confirming exactly what the vehicle needs, then creating and programming a key that the car will actually accept as genuine. It's more involved than routine replacement, but it's still very much something we handle at the roadside rather than through a dealership. We use the vehicle's VIN and on-board diagnostic access to work out precisely what key and transponder type is required, then cut and program a new key directly to your car's immobiliser system. Depending on the vehicle this can take a bit longer than a standard callout, but you'll walk away with a fully working key rather than a temporary fix or a tow to a dealership.

What affects the price of an all-keys-lost job?

With no working key to copy, an all-keys-lost job is more involved than a spare — so the price reflects a few things:

  • Key and security type — a transponder key, a remote fob or a keyless push-to-start smart key each take different equipment and time.
  • Make, model and year — with nothing to authorise from, some manufacturers’ security systems are more involved than others.
  • Number of keys you’d like programmed while we’re there — most drivers take the chance to set up a spare too.
  • Sourcing — a rarer vehicle may need the correct key blank or transponder brought in first.

Give us your make, model and year and we’ll tell you the cost honestly before we come out.
