Lost All Your Car Keys?
No spare key and no way to start the vehicle? AG Locks provides mobile lost car key replacement for supported cars and vans. We can assess the vehicle, create the correct replacement key, cut the blade where required, program it to the immobiliser and test it at the vehicle's location.
A replacement car key without the original
Losing the last working key does not always mean recovering the vehicle to a main dealer. For many supported vehicles, the replacement process can be completed where the car or van is parked.
An all-car-keys-lost situation is different from copying a spare. There is no working key available to identify, decode or use during programming, so the exact vehicle system must be checked before the correct parts and procedure can be confirmed.
AG Locks starts with the registration, make, model, year, vehicle location and any information about the missing key. Depending on the vehicle, the replacement may involve identifying the correct blade profile, producing a mechanical key, preparing a compatible transponder or remote and programming it to the vehicle's immobiliser.
The aim is not merely to supply a key-shaped product. The finished key must be checked for physical operation, immobiliser recognition and the available remote or smart functions. Where the vehicle system permits it, previously lost keys may also be removed from the authorised key list for additional security.
More than simply supplying another key
The work required depends on the vehicle. A proper quotation should account for the replacement key, mechanical cutting, immobiliser programming, remote functions and the condition of the vehicle.
All Keys Lost Assessment
Registration-based checks to identify the likely vehicle key system, compatible replacement options and the correct route before attendance.
Check compatibilityReplacement Key Creation
A compatible replacement key, remote or smart key is prepared for the specific vehicle rather than supplied as an unverified generic part.
Discuss the key typeCar Key Cutting
Where the vehicle uses a mechanical blade, the replacement is cut to operate the relevant door lock and ignition system.
Ask about key cuttingImmobiliser Programming
The replacement transponder is programmed or learned to a supported vehicle so the engine recognises the new authorised key.
Check programming supportRemote and Smart Functions
Compatible locking, unlocking and keyless functions are set up and tested where those features are supported by the replacement key and vehicle.
Check remote optionsLost Key Security Check
On supported systems, the missing key may be removed from the vehicle's authorised key list during the replacement process.
Ask about key deletionHow lost key replacement works
A few accurate details at the start allow the correct parts, equipment and procedure to be considered before the visit is arranged.
Start With a CallSend the registration and location
Provide the registration, make, model, approximate year, exact postcode and whether the vehicle is safely accessible.
Confirm the missing key situation
Explain whether every key is missing, whether the key may have been stolen and what type of key or remote was previously used.
Receive vehicle-specific guidance
Compatibility, likely replacement type, attendance and pricing are considered from the actual vehicle details rather than a generic headline quote.
The replacement is created and tested
At the vehicle, the required key is cut and programmed where supported, then checked for starting, locking and available remote functions.
A clear route from stranded to moving again
An all-keys-lost job needs more than a cheap blank and a promise. The vehicle, key system, parts and programming route must all line up.
Mobile Service
The work is brought to the vehicle where practical, avoiding the immediate need to organise dealership recovery.
Vehicle-Specific Checks
The registration and key system are checked before the replacement route is proposed.
Cut and Program
Mechanical cutting and immobiliser programming are handled together where required and supported.
Functions Tested
The finished replacement is checked against the vehicle rather than handed over untested.
Why an accurate price needs the registration
The cost of replacing a lost car key depends on the actual security system—not simply the manufacturer badge. Two vehicles from the same brand can require different key parts, access methods, programming procedures and labour.
Call with the registration and vehicle postcode. That produces a more useful quotation than a low headline figure that ignores the key type or programming route.
Get a Vehicle-Specific QuoteMake, Model and Year
The vehicle generation and immobiliser platform determine which replacement process is available.
Key or Remote Type
A basic transponder key, flip remote and proximity smart key use different parts and procedures.
Programming Route
Some vehicles support a straightforward diagnostic procedure; others require additional specialist work.
Vehicle Location
Attendance depends on the postcode, access, safety and whether there is suitable working space around the vehicle.
Different ways the last working key disappears
The important point is whether any usable key remains and whether the missing key creates an additional security concern.
What we need to check your vehicle
The better the information at the beginning, the less chance of the wrong key, part or procedure being assumed.
Answers before you arrange replacement
The registration is still needed for a definite answer, but these cover the questions customers usually ask after losing the final key.
