The things drivers ask us most.
How much does a replacement car key cost?
It depends on your make, model and key type, but you always get a quote agreed before any work starts. No call-out fee, and if we cannot sort it there is no charge at all.
I've lost all my car keys, can you still help?
Yes. We cut and program a fresh key on your driveway and wipe the lost keys from the immobiliser, so there is no main-dealer recovery and no long wait.
Do you cover keyless and push-to-start keys?
Yes. Smart keys, proximity fobs and keyless push-to-start systems, as well as traditional blade keys and remotes, on almost every car on UK roads.
How quickly can you reach me?
Average response is around 30 to 45 minutes, often sooner in town. We are on call 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
What do you need from me to make a new key?
Usually just your registration, the make, model and year, and proof the car is yours. From the reg we identify the exact key and immobiliser system before we set off.
Do you guarantee your work?
Every key we cut, code and fit is tested with you on site before we leave. If anything we have done is not right, tell us and we come back and put it right.
Can you reach me in Chester city centre with the traffic restrictions?
Yes. Our locksmith parks up nearby and works on foot with a hand kit when the street is pedestrianised, so multi-storeys, Northgate and the Rows are no problem.
Do you cover the Wirral and Wrexham side of Chester?
We do. Ellesmere Port, Neston, Saltney, Wrexham and Broughton all sit inside our Chester patch, usually within the same 30-45 minute window.
I'm stuck in a Chester multi-storey car park, is that a problem?
No. Non-destructive entry and on-site key coding both work fine in a car park; we only need enough room to open the door and plug into the car.
