Losing your car keys is frustrating if you do not know who to call. If the key is lost or the remote has stopped working, you need a replacement that is cut and programmed to the vehicle — not just a blade.
Who can replace your car keys?
Two safe routes exist. A mobile auto locksmith comes to you. A main dealer usually needs a workshop booking.
Auto locksmith
A mobile auto locksmith in Crawley can cut and programme a new key at the vehicle, and often repair a broken fob. Work is quoted before we start. Parts and labour carry a warranty.
Car dealer
Dealers supply replacement keys, but they rarely repair a fob and often need the vehicle booked in. Waiting times can run to days or weeks.
How to order a replacement car key
Ordering a replacement in Redhill is straightforward if you have the vehicle details.
1. Note the vehicle details
Have the registration, make, model and year ready. The VIN on the dashboard or in the paperwork helps confirm the exact key type.
2. Contact the right person
You can go to a dealer or call a locksmith in Horsham. A mobile auto locksmith can usually cut and programme the key at the car the same day.
3. Get the key programmed
A blade on its own will not start a modern car. The transponder or remote has to be paired to the immobiliser. Car key programming is included when we supply the key, so you do not need a second dealer visit.
