Spare car keys
Spare Car Keys in Hereford
A spare key is the least expensive way to avoid an all-keys-lost emergency. We cut and programme spare keys at your location across Hereford and the surrounding areas.
Why get a spare key before you need it?
Most drivers only think about a spare key after losing their only one — which is also when it's most expensive and most stressful. Ordering a spare while your original still works is cheaper and completely hassle-free.
- Costs less than an all-keys-lost callout
- A second key for families sharing one vehicle
- Peace of mind if a key is misplaced or damaged
- No need to leave the vehicle — we come to you
What's involved in making a spare key?
1. Identify your key type
From your registration and vehicle details we identify the exact key your car needs — blade, remote, transponder or smart key.
2. Cut the blade
The new key is precision cut to match your vehicle's lock, using professional automotive key-cutting equipment.
3. Programme it to your car
The transponder chip and remote are programmed so the key starts your vehicle and operates the central locking.
Keys we can supply
The right key depends on your vehicle — here's what we commonly work with.
Remote fob keys
Combined key and remote — the blade is cut and the remote is synchronised to your vehicle's central locking.
Transponder keys
Keys with an embedded chip that must be matched to the vehicle immobiliser before the car will start.
Smart / proximity keys
Keyless entry and start systems — the key is programmed to be recognised by the vehicle without turning a lock.
Non-remote blades
Simple cut keys for older or basic vehicles that don't use an immobiliser or remote.
