    Mobile Citroen key specialist across the North East

    Citroens have used a real mix of key systems over the years. The older C1, C3 and Berlingo run a basic blade and remote, while the newer C3 Aircross, C5 Aircross and DS-badged cars use proximity keyless smart keys with push-button start. As a SERMI registered mobile auto locksmith based in Durham, I work on Citroens across the North East almost every week.

    Whether you need a spare Citroen key cut and coded, you've lost every key to the car, or you're locked out at the supermarket, I come to you. I cover Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and everywhere in between. No call-out fee, no VAT, and over 230 five star Google reviews from drivers across the region.

    Types of Citroen Keys We Replace

    Blade keys

    Found on early C1, Saxo and Berlingo. A traditional cut blade with a basic transponder chip. Cheaper to cut and quick to code.

    Remote fob keys

    Two and three button Citroen fobs found on the C3, C4 and Berlingo. Cut blade plus electronic immobiliser. Standard daily replacement for me.

    Flip keys

    The folding 'switchblade' style Citroen key used on later C3 and C4 models. The blade flips out of the fob. I cut these to your lock and program them on site.

    Proximity smart keys

    Found on C3 Aircross, C5 Aircross and DS3/DS4. Lets you unlock and start the car with the key in your pocket. More involved to program but I do them at your vehicle.

    Van remote keys

    Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay van keys including the higher security units on newer Dispatch models. Same on-site service, no need to recover the van.

    How Much Does Citroen Key Replacement Cost?

    Citroen key replacement on a mobile call-out usually falls between £120 and £280 fitted and coded.

    What affects the price:

    • Type of key — blade and basic remote keys are cheaper than proximity smart keys
    • Whether you have a working key (cloning a spare is cheaper than all keys lost)
    • Model and year — newer C3 Aircross and DS keys take longer to program
    • Time of day — same-day call-outs across the North East are no extra charge

    Compared to a Citroen dealer you'll usually save £100+ once you factor in dealer fees, VAT and recovery. With me there's no call-out fee, no VAT, and you get a quote up front before I travel.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. If you've lost every key to the car I can cut a new blade to the lock and program a fresh key from scratch using my SERMI access. No need to recover the car to a dealer.

    Yes. The DS3 and DS4 proximity keys are something I program regularly at the roadside. Send me your reg first and I'll confirm I have the right key in stock.

    Most spare Citroen keys take 30–60 minutes from start to finish, including cutting and programming. Proximity keys take a little longer because of the extra security steps.

    Yes — Berlingo van keys, both the older blade-and-remote and the newer flip key, are a daily job for me. I come to where the van is so it doesn't have to be off the road.

    No. I don't charge VAT and I don't charge a call-out fee anywhere across Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle or the wider North East. The price I quote is the price you pay.
