Spare car keys
A working spare can be arranged while you still have a usable key. Keep the existing key available so the technician can compare its functions and confirm the additional key is suitable.
Spare car keys: Selecting an additional key
What needs checking
Check the current key, required remote features and whether the spare is intended for everyday use or emergencies.
The work and handover
The new key is prepared for the vehicle and both existing and additional keys are checked. Store the spare separately from the everyday key after handover.
Useful details for your enquiry
Bring every available key, the vehicle registration and details of the functions you want the spare to provide.
Spare car keys: questions and answers
Should I bring all existing keys to the appointment?
Yes, say how many you have and follow the technician's instructions. Existing keys may need to be present during setup.
Can a simpler spare be supplied without every remote feature?
It depends on the vehicle and available key types. Agree exactly what the spare will unlock and start.
What affects the quotation for spare car keys?
The chosen key format, remote functions and programming requirements shape the quote. A quotation should confirm the agreed scope, parts and work before work is arranged.
