Locked my keys in the car in the multi storey car park at 11pm. The technician arrived in under half an hour, opened it without a mark and made me a spare on the spot. Calm, polite and priced exactly as quoted on the phone.

A spare key costs a fraction of an emergency lost key replacement. We come to your home or workplace anywhere in Essex, cut a second key for your vehicle, programme it to the immobiliser and hand it over fully tested, normally inside an hour.

Spare Car Keys, how it works

Buying a used car with only one key is the most common reason drivers call us. A single key is a single point of failure, and the day it is lost or damaged the job becomes urgent and more expensive.

We supply and code keys for the vast majority of makes and models, from simple remote blades to proximity smart keys with keyless start. Quality electronics are used so the spare feels and works like the original.

Because spare key work is planned rather than an emergency, it is the most cost effective way to protect yourself, and we can also delete any unknown keys from a used vehicle at the same visit.

Our locksmiths are mobile across the whole county, from Basildon, Chelmsford and Colchester to Southend, Romford, Brentwood and every town between, so help comes to your car rather than the other way round.

Included as standard

  • Second key cut and coded at your home or work
  • Remote blades and keyless proximity smart keys
  • Unknown previous keys erased on request
  • Cheaper than an emergency lost key callout
  • Mobile appointments across Essex, 7 days a week

I lost my only Land Cruiser key at the seafront. They cut and programmed a new one at my house in about an hour and deleted the old key from the car. The dealer had quoted three days and double the price.

My smart key stopped being detected. Instead of selling me a new key they diagnosed the transponder, repaired it and charged a fraction of what I expected. Honest work is rare, this was it.
