Car Key Programming & Fob Replacement
Spares, replacements and 'key not detected' — sorted on your driveway.
A spare key from a main dealer can run £200–£400 plus a week of waiting. Our mobile key programming service comes to your driveway across Nottingham, Derby and the East Midlands — supplying and programming replacement remote fobs, spare keys and transponders for most mainstream makes, usually in a single visit and typically 40–60% cheaper than the dealer.
What key work do you cover?
Spare remote keys supplied and programmed, replacement fobs for lost or broken units, transponder chip coding, central-locking remote pairing, 'key not detected' and intermittent-start faults, plus key-battery and housing refreshes. We cover most European, Japanese and Korean platforms — VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and more.
Proof of ownership — always required
For your protection and ours, we only ever program keys with proof of ownership: photo ID plus the V5 logbook (or a sales invoice in your name) matched to the vehicle. No documents, no key — no exceptions. It's the same standard a main dealer applies, and it protects you if anyone ever claims otherwise.
Why not just go to the dealer?
Dealers quote £200–£400 for a programmed spare and often keep the car for half a day. We come to you with dealer-grade programming tools (Autologic, ODIS, VCDS), supply a quality aftermarket or OEM fob, and code it on your driveway in under 90 minutes — typically 40–60% cheaper with zero downtime.
Lost your only key?
All-keys-lost jobs are more involved — the immobiliser has to be accessed before new keys can be coded. We cover many platforms for this; message us your registration and we'll tell you honestly whether your vehicle is one we can complete as a mobile job, and exactly what it will cost before we set off.
