Need a spare car key before you lose the only one?
Many drivers wait until they have lost their car keys before calling an auto locksmith. By then, the situation is urgent and more complex. Having a spare car key in place gives you flexibility and peace of mind.
Common reasons people book a spare key
You only have one working key
You share the vehicle between multiple drivers
Your remote key or key fob buttons are failing
The key stopped working intermittently
You want peace of mind before travel or work commitments
A spare key reduces the risk of being locked out or stranded. It also avoids higher costs linked to lost car keys and full key replacement scenarios.

Spare key for car service: what we can supply and program
Modern car keys are more than just a piece of cut metal. Many include transponders, remote locking and advanced security features. We handle both the cutting and programming in one visit.
- Spare car key cutting matched to your vehicle
Accurate key cutting is essential. A poorly cut key can damage locks or cause ignition wear over time. We cut your spare car key to match your vehicle’s specification, ensuring smooth operation in doors and ignition.
- Car key programming for modern vehicles
Most modern vehicles use a transponder chip inside the key. Without correct programming, the car will not start. As an experienced auto locksmith, we cut and program your key so it communicates correctly with your vehicle’s immobiliser system.
We test central locking, ignition start and remote functions where applicable before completing the job.
- Remote key, key fobs and buttons not working
If your key fob is unreliable or your remote key has stopped responding, we assess whether the issue is battery related or requires a replacement key. Where needed, we supply and program new key fobs that integrate with your vehicle’s system.
How our mobile auto locksmith process works
We keep the process simple and efficient.
Step 1: Tell us your car make, model and location
To provide an accurate quote, we need your vehicle make, model, year and location. This allows us to confirm the correct key type and programming requirements.
Step 2: We come to you
Our mobile auto locksmith service covers Nottingham, Derby and surrounding areas. We can attend your home, workplace or roadside location, saving you the hassle of visiting a dealership.
Step 3: Cut, program and test
We cut your spare key, program it to your vehicle and test all functions. You receive a fully working spare car key before we leave.
Pricing: how much does a new spare car key cost?
The cost of a spare key for a car varies depending on several factors. We provide clear pricing once we understand your vehicle and key type.
What affects cost and price
Vehicle make and model
Security system and immobiliser type
Whether you require a remote key or standard key
Programming complexity
A simple non-remote key is typically less complex than a remote key with integrated key fob functions.
Is it cheaper to copy or replace a key?
If you still have a working key, creating a spare is usually more straightforward than replacing lost car keys entirely. Full car key replacement often involves additional programming steps and security procedures.
Arranging a spare key now can reduce overall cost and disruption later.
Insurance cover and what to check
If your keys have been stolen, you may wish to contact your insurance provider to understand your cover. They may request documentation and details about the incident. For non-emergency spare key requests, most drivers arrange this directly without involving insurance.
