Key Cutting and Transponder Programming
Modern vehicles use immobiliser systems that require a correctly programmed transponder chip. Without it, the engine will not start. I cut precision key blades, program transponder chips, pair remote fobs and keyless systems, and can erase lost or stolen keys from the vehicle's memory where required.

- Remote fob and keyless pairing

Spare Car Keys: Why a Second Key Saves You Money
Most of the calls I get are from drivers down to one key. A spare car key costs a fraction of what an all keys lost job costs, because I can clone or program from your existing key instead of generating a brand new one from scratch. If that last key is lost, snapped or water damaged, the job becomes far bigger and far more expensive.
Keys also fail without much warning. Buttons stop responding, blades snap in the barrel, batteries die and fobs go through the washing machine. When that happens on a Monday morning with no spare in the drawer, the car is going nowhere.
I cut and program spare car keys at your home or workplace across Durham and the North East. Most spares take under an hour, and both keys keep working afterwards. If you are not sure which type your car uses, give me your registration on the phone and I will tell you exactly what you need and what it costs before I set off.
Spare Keys I Can Supply
Spare transponder keys
A plain blade key with a chip in the head, cut and coded to your immobiliser.
Spare remote and flip keys
Central locking and boot release programmed alongside the immobiliser chip.
Spare smart keys
Keyless entry and push button start fobs paired to your vehicle on site.
Spare van keys
Second keys for Transit, Transporter, Vivaro, Sprinter and other commercials, so the working day is not lost.
Car Key Repairs
A tired key does not always need replacing. In a lot of cases I can repair what you already have for less than the cost of a new one, and you keep the same key programmed to your car.
- Cracked or broken key shells reshelled
- Snapped or worn blades recut
- Faulty or unresponsive remote buttons
- Flat key fob batteries replaced
- Water damaged fobs assessed and repaired where possible
How a Spare Key Job Works
- Send me your registration, make and model by phone or WhatsApp.
- I confirm the key type and give you a firm price before I travel.
- I come to your home or workplace at a time that suits you.
- I check proof of ownership, cut the new key and program it to the car.
- I test locking, unlocking and starting with both keys before I leave.
There is no call out fee and no VAT, so the price I quote is the price you pay.
