Car Key Replacement And Programming In Leaves Green
Whether you’ve lost the only key or need a spare, we can create and code keys on your driveway:
-
Transponder key programming
Most post-1998 vehicles use a small chip inside the key that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. We pair new chips securely so the engine starts every time. -
Smart/proximity key services
Push-to-start and keyless entry keys require precise pairing. We handle smart key programming and replacement, including proximity keys for popular 2024/2025 models. -
Remote key fob repair and replacement
If your buttons have failed or the case is cracked, we can supply a replacement remote shell, repair the board where viable, or program a new remote. -
High-security and laser-cut keys
Many modern vehicles use laser-cut blades and high-security profiles. Our mobile machines cut these accurately on-site.

FAQs For Drivers In Leaves Green
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. We can cut a new key and program the transponder or smart system from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. This avoids towing to a dealer.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where a faulty lock or unusual security shield prevents this, we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in a single mobile visit. Timing depends on make, model, and key type (basic, remote, or smart). We’ll advise accurate timings when you call.
Can you reprogram a used key fob?
Sometimes. Many cars lock a fob to the first vehicle it’s paired with. We’ll advise based on your make and year and offer secure alternatives if a used fob isn’t suitable.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in BR2?
Yes. We provide emergency support and efficient dispatch across Leaves Green and nearby areas, including Keston and Biggin Hill.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealer for keys?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in recovery, wait times, and convenience. We provide mobile diagnostics and programming that save time and hassle compared with dealership lead times.
