What do you need help with?

Car key repair

Car key repair and key fob repair for damaged cases, unreliable buttons or a remote that has stopped responding. Tell us what still works so we can check the options.

Spare car keys

Still have a working key? Ask about spare car keys and car key cutting matched to your vehicle, before losing your only key becomes a bigger problem.

Lost car keys

Lost car keys with no spare? Share your vehicle details and location so we can check lost car key replacement options and the next steps.

You do not need to know
which key system you have.

A key that will not unlock the doors is a different problem from one that will not start the car. Tell us what works, what does not, and whether you have another working key. We will use those details to check which service may suit your vehicle.

If you are arranging a spare, have the existing key ready. If every key is lost, let us know where the vehicle is parked and whether you can access it. For a damaged key, keep the parts together and describe the fault as clearly as you can.

Car key services / Your questions

Before you
make the call.

A little clarity can make the next step feel simpler.

What vehicle details do you need for car key services?

Choose spare keys if a working key remains, lost-key help if no working key is available, or repair advice for an existing key or fob fault. If you are unsure, describe what happened and what still works. An enquiry about car key services starts with the make, full model, year and registration so we can check appropriate options before confirming the work.

When discussing car key services, mention previous key repairs, replacement fobs or faults that were already present. You do not need to identify a chip or buy a replacement part before contacting us. These details help us check the suitable service for your individual vehicle before confirming work. Include your postcode and say whether the vehicle is at home, at work or somewhere else.

Which service applies if no working key remains?

Ask about lost-key help if none of your keys unlocks and starts the vehicle. When comparing car key services, explain whether the key is completely missing, damaged or still available but not working. Include the make, model, year and vehicle location. These details help distinguish an all-keys-lost enquiry from a spare or an existing key fault.

Before arranging car key services, say whether the vehicle is locked and whether the keys may have been stolen or locked inside. We will check suitable options for the exact vehicle rather than assuming every key system is supported. Ask what information you should have ready and agree the proposed work, quote and availability before an appointment is arranged. For practical security guidance, read Police.uk’s vehicle theft prevention advice.

Which service should I choose while a working key remains?

Choose spare-key help if you want an additional key while your current one still works. For car key services, tell us whether it unlocks and starts the vehicle reliably and whether all remote buttons respond. If there is an existing fault, explain that too. A spare for another driver and a replacement for a damaged key are different requests.

When discussing car key services, confirm how many keys you need and keep existing keys available. Mention any fob or blade bought elsewhere before arranging work. Compatibility depends on the individual vehicle and key arrangement. We will discuss suitable options and the quote so you understand what is proposed before deciding whether to proceed.

How is a quote for car key services worked out?

There is no single price that applies to every vehicle or key problem. For car key services, the model, year, key type and whether a working key remains affect the proposed work. Tell us what has happened and what still works so the quote relates to your enquiry. A price for an additional key should not be assumed to cover an all-keys-lost situation or a fault involving the vehicle.

Before booking car key services, ask what the proposed price includes and whether anything still needs checking. Mention damage, previous repairs or a key bought elsewhere at the start. Confirm the number and type of keys being discussed, any cutting or programming needed and the arrangements for the vehicle. We will discuss the suitable options before you decide whether to proceed with the proposed work.

Can you come to the vehicle, and how do I check coverage?

Kent Car Keys provides a mobile service across Kent, South East London and Essex, with coverage and availability checked for your enquiry. When arranging car key services, give us the postcode where the vehicle is actually parked. Your home address may be different. Describe access gates, parking restrictions or a shared car park so we can discuss how a visit would work before an appointment is agreed.

An enquiry about car key services does not reserve an appointment or confirm an arrival time. Our advertised hours are Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm; Sunday is closed. Contact us to check current availability and agree the next step directly. If someone else will meet us at the car, confirm their access and the arrangements before making plans. The coverage map is a guide rather than confirmation for every postcode.

When should I choose repair advice rather than replacement?

Ask for repair advice if an existing key has damage, unreliable buttons or an intermittent fault. When comparing car key services, explain what still works rather than assuming a complete new key is needed. Tell us whether another key behaves differently and mention damage, water exposure, a battery change or previous repair.

Before deciding between car key services, remember that a worn case or similar-looking fob does not establish the cause of a fault. The issue may involve the key, remote or vehicle system. We will discuss repair or replacement options based on your details and symptoms. Use the handbook for operating instructions and avoid forcing a damaged key or using improvised tools on a broken blade.

Does arranging car key services involve cutting or programming?

Ask us to confirm the work required for your exact vehicle before booking. An enquiry about car key services cannot be assessed from the outer casing alone. Include the year, registration and how you normally start the vehicle. Explain whether the key is missing, a key still starts the engine or only the remote buttons have stopped working. Those details help distinguish the service you are asking for.

When discussing car key services, ask whether cutting, programming or further checks are needed, whether existing keys should be available and what the quote includes. We do not assume that supplying a fob or cutting a blade will solve every problem. If you bought a key elsewhere, mention it at the start; its suitability and any work with it need to be agreed before a visit. You can check vehicle details through GOV.UK’s vehicle information service.

What happens after I send an enquiry?

Share your vehicle details, its postcode and a clear description of the problem. For car key services, tell us whether a working key remains and use an email address you can check for a response. If calling, have the registration and year ready. Explain any uncertainty about the key or the vehicle location so we can ask the right follow-up questions without assuming the service is already confirmed.

An enquiry about car key services starts a conversation about compatibility, availability and the work required. There is no need to send photographs of personal documents with the initial form. We can discuss what information is needed before arranging work. Agree the quote, location and access directly. A submitted form requests a response; it does not confirm a booking or that every vehicle and key system can be supported.
