Car key questions Reading drivers ask us
Can you make a new car key if I've lost all my keys?
Yes. We cut a new key to your locks and program it to the car at your location, even with no working key. Most cars are done in one visit, with no need to tow to a dealer. The lost keys are removed from the car's memory so they won't start it if someone finds them.
How quickly can you get to me in Reading?
For lockouts and lost keys we're typically with you in 30 to 60 minutes across Reading, day or night. We give you an arrival time when you call.
How much does a replacement car key cost in Reading?
It depends on the make, model, year and type of key. Tell us your car and we'll give you one fixed price before we set off, so you know the cost up front.
Is it cheaper than going to the main dealer?
Usually, yes. You also avoid recovery costs and days without the car, because the key is cut and programmed where the car is parked.
What do I need to show you?
Photo ID and proof you own or are responsible for the vehicle, such as the V5C logbook, finance or lease paperwork, or insurance documents. We check this on every job.
Can you provide an invoice for my insurance claim?
Yes. We provide a fully itemised quote and invoice with the details insurers ask for, including the vehicle, registration and why the work was needed.
