Pricing guide (typical)
Unlocking a car door typically costs around £80. Replacement car keys usually range from £120 to £250, depending on the make, model, and programming required. In some key-loss scenarios, prices may be higher, and certain vehicles require two keys to be programmed together. Request a quote for an accurate price.
How much is a car key to replace?
Most replacement car keys cost between £120 and £250, depending on your car, the type of key (standard, transponder key, or remote key fob), and the programming work required. Ask for a quick quote before we dispatch.
Can an auto locksmith unlock my car without damage?
Yes. Our auto locksmiths use non-destructive methods to gain entry and protect your vehicle. We then cut and program a replacement car key if needed.
Do you offer same-day service?
In many cases, yes. With mobile units and local stock, we offer same-day car key replacement and emergency entry across Nottingham and Derby. Some modern car keys require bench programming, which may take a few days.
Can Halfords replace car keys?
Some retailers can cut basic keys and supply certain key fobs, but they may not offer complete immobiliser programming for many vehicles or mobile call‑outs. A specialist auto locksmith provides on-site coding and testing, ensuring your key works immediately.
