Lost car keys
Losing the last car key can prevent both access and starting. Explain that no working key remains so the correct equipment, replacement options and ownership checks can be considered.
Lost car keys: Planning for an all-keys-lost job
What needs checking
The technician confirms vehicle identity, your authority and whether any keys may still be available. The security system determines the replacement route.
The work and handover
A supported replacement is arranged after assessment. Ask whether missing electronic keys can be removed from the vehicle's accepted-key list and what that does and does not protect.
Useful details for your enquiry
Prepare identification, evidence of your authority to use the car, registration, model year and the last known key details.
Lost car keys: questions and answers
Can a replacement be arranged without the original key?
Often it can, but support varies by vehicle. Confirm the model and the all-keys-lost situation before booking.
Will replacing my key stop the old blade opening the door?
Electronic key removal does not necessarily change a mechanical lock. Discuss both electronic and physical security if that matters.
What affects the quotation for lost car keys?
All-keys-lost work, vehicle access and security-system requirements affect cost and timing. A quotation should confirm the agreed scope, parts and work before work is arranged.
