Car lockouts: your key is inside

If your keys are in the car and you cannot open it, ask for car lockout assistance. This is a different job from making a replacement key. Tell us whether the key is in the passenger area or the trunk, and where the vehicle is parked.

Have identification and proof that you are authorised to access the vehicle available. If the documents are inside, mention that when you call.

Lost or damaged car keys

If you no longer have a usable key, call about car key replacement. Let us know whether you have lost every key, still have a spare, or have a key that is bent or broken.

Vehicle keys are not all alike. Some are mechanical keys; others include a transponder chip, remote or smart fob. Cutting a blade and programming an electronic key are different tasks. For transponder keys, remotes and push-button start systems, confirm whether we can assist with your specific vehicle before arranging service.

Car keys versus ordinary key cutting

For a spare house or business key, ask about ordinary key cutting. Vehicle keys need a separate compatibility check: a key that fits a car’s lock may still need to be recognised by the vehicle’s security system before it can start the engine.

Do not buy a replacement fob on the assumption that it can be used with your car. Confirm the required key type and service options first.

Getting a useful quote

Give us the vehicle details, location and whether any key still works. Mention whether you need access to the car, a replacement key or help identifying a key problem. Ask about current availability and what the quote includes.

Support and the work required depend on the vehicle and key system. A remote that does not unlock the doors and a key that does not start the engine may involve different problems, so describe the symptoms rather than assuming a replacement is needed.

Common questions

Can you help with every make and model?

Call to confirm your vehicle’s compatibility. The make, model, year and type of key determine the available options; we do not promise support for every vehicle.

What if all my car keys are lost?

Say that no working key remains when you call. Replacing the only key can involve different work from making a spare, so that detail matters for the quote.
