Car key replacement & programming

Proof of ownership (such as the V5C logbook) is needed for vehicle keys; some newer models can only be programmed with dealer equipment.

What this covers

Replacement car keys, transponder and remote key programming, and broken key extraction.

Before the locksmith arrives

  • Wait somewhere safe and well lit, especially at night.
  • Have ID and proof of address (or the V5C logbook for a car) ready.
  • Do not force the door or window — frame and glass damage usually costs more than the lock.
