How do I get a new key for my car?

To get a new key for your car you will need to supply Jay with the following:

  1. Make, model and year of vehicle
  2. VIN (vehicle identification number) found on your licence disc
  3. Copy of licence disc (in some instances)

Cost Impacting Factors

The cost to get a new car cut all depends on your car make, model and year. This then depends on parts and tokens required for car key programming and if the car key is basic or remote.

  1. The make of vehicle – a Ford Fiesta will normally be cheaper than a Land Rover
  2. The model and year of car – The year and model of vehicle can impact the price
  3. The type of car key – Do you have a remote fob or transponder car key?
  4. Availability of your keys – Do you have spare car keys that can be copied, or have you lost your keys? Having no spare key will be the most expensive option.
  5. If you have lost your car keys, we can delete the vehicle’s database history so if they are found by someone else or stolen, they will be inoperable.

We recommend you get quotes from at least three locksmiths in your area, who, will often be cheaper than your local dealership.
