Lost Car Keys? Replacement in Birmingham — 24/7

What to do when you've lost your car keys

First: retrace and check — coat pockets, bags, the car itself (locked inside is our most common callout and much cheaper to fix). Then call us with your location, car's make/model/year and registration.

We'll quote a fixed price on the phone, dispatch a mobile unit, verify your ownership on arrival (V5C logbook + photo ID), then cut and program your new key on the spot.

All keys lost vs one key lost

One key lost: we clone from your remaining key or cut from code — quick and straightforward. All keys lost: we read your car's immobiliser data and generate a new key from scratch. Both are routine for us; all-keys-lost just takes a little longer and costs a bit more.

Either way, getting a spare made during the same visit is the smart move — it typically adds far less than a second callout later.

Stolen keys: protecting your car

If your keys were stolen, a new key isn't enough — the stolen key can still open and start your car. We reprogram your car's immobiliser to delete the stolen key from its memory, so it becomes useless. We can also replace door locks if needed.

Report the theft to the police and inform your insurer — and call us immediately for the reprogramming.

What you'll need: proof of ownership

By law we must verify the car is yours before making keys: V5C logbook (registered keeper) plus photo ID is the gold standard. No V5C? Other combinations can work — insurance documents, for example. Call us and we'll talk through what you've got.
