Lost, spare & repair

Lost your keys? Breathe.

It happens! You've misplaced your keys, damaged your existing key, or locked your fob in the car. Tell us the make and model and we'll take it from there. It's usually sorted within the hour once we're with you.

Lockpicking and forced entry has always been a security risk, which is why cars need more than just a key blade to work. We cut, program and synchronise new keys with non-destructive entry: no smashed windows, no drilled locks.
