What is all keys lost?
When all keys are lost, the new key is built from the car itself rather than copied from an old key. The technician gains entry to the car, reads the lock or key code, cuts a new blade, and programs the chip to the immobiliser through the diagnostic port. The lost keys are also removed from the car memory, so they can no longer start the car.
Proof of ownership comes first, before any work on the car. You will need to show the V5C logbook and photo ID, so the car is only opened for its owner. The exact documents are confirmed when you call, so ask us what to have ready before the technician arrives.
How it works
1. Prove the car is yours
Show the V5C logbook and photo ID. No work starts until ownership is shown.
2. Open the car
The technician opens the car without a key, using the locks, so the work can begin.
3. Cut a new blade
A new key blade is cut from the lock or the key code for the car.
4. Program the new key
The chip is coded to the immobiliser through the diagnostic port, and the remote is paired.
5. Remove the lost keys
The lost keys are deleted from the car memory, so they can no longer start or unlock the car.
6. Test the new key
The new key is tested in the locks and the ignition before the technician leaves.
What you need
- V5C logbook as proof of ownership
- Photo ID
- The registration number of the car
- The car, at the address you give us
If you do not have the V5C to hand, call us and explain. [TODO: confirm what this business accepts when the V5C is not available.]
Frequently asked questions
Can a new car key be made if I have lost all my keys?
Yes. A new key can be built from the car itself, even when no working key remains. The technician opens the car, cuts a new blade from the lock or key code, and programs the chip to the immobiliser. Proof of ownership is needed first, so have your V5C logbook and photo ID ready.
Will my lost keys still work after a new key is made?
No, not if they are deleted from the car. When the new key is programmed, the lost keys are removed from the car memory, so they can no longer start the engine or unlock the doors. Tell us when you call that the keys were lost, and we will make sure the old keys are removed.
What if I cannot find my V5C logbook?
Call us and explain the position. Proof of ownership is needed before work starts, and the V5C logbook is the usual document. We will tell you what we can accept, so you know what to have ready before the technician arrives.
Do I need to tow the car to a garage?
No. This service is mobile, and the technician comes to your car, wherever it is in Birmingham. The new key is made and programmed at the car, so there is no towing and no dealer visit. Call us with the address of the car, and we will arrange a visit.
