What happens at the car

A spare key is made while you still have a working key, which keeps the job straightforward. On the call we ask for the car's location and what you need, so we know what we are coming to. We meet you beside the car, wherever it is parked in Leicester, Leicestershire, East Midlands (LE1) — at the driver's home, at a workplace, or in a car park. At the car, we cut the second key and programme it so it works with your car, using the key you already have as the starting point. The work is done beside the car, and we explain what is happening in plain words as we go. Once the spare is made, you can check it opens and starts the car before we leave, and we explain what to do with it. Keeping the spare somewhere separate from your main key is the whole point — one lost key then stays a small problem instead of a lost-keys job.

One key for two drivers

A household where two people share one car is the most common reason for a spare. One key gets passed back and forth, left in the wrong coat, or taken away on a trip while the other driver needs the car. A second key ends that juggling: each driver keeps their own, and the car is usable even when one of you is out. Phone 07988 388514, give the car's location, and we come to the car to cut and programme the spare there. It is the same visit whether the second driver is there or not, as long as the car and the working key are with us. Bring something that shows the car belongs to you, ready to show us, and say on the call if the car belongs to someone else in the household.

A spare made from a worn key

Keys wear down a little every day, and a blade that is bent or a button that is soft is a sign to act while the key still works. A spare made from a worn key is still worth having, because it gives you a second key before the first one gives up altogether. Phone 07988 388514, say how worn the key is, and give the car's location. We travel to the car in Leicester, Leicestershire, look at the key with you, and talk through the options. If the worn key is already struggling, say so on the call, because its condition matters for what can be done. Do not wait until the key stops working — once it has, the job becomes a replacement rather than a spare.

What to have ready

Bring your working key to the car, and have proof of ownership ready before we arrive. Tell us where the car is parked in your own words — the street, the car park name, or the workplace — and we will find you without a long search. Tell us on the call if the key you have is worn, bent, or cracked, because its condition matters for what can be done at the car. If the spare is for a second driver, it helps to have that person with you at the car, so the new key can be checked by the person who will use it. If the car is registered to someone else, say so on the call and keep that person reachable. We explain on the call what we need from you at the car before we start.

When this service applies

This service applies when you have one working key and want a second one. That covers a household where two people share a car, a driver who wants a spare kept at home, and anyone who has been caught out before by a single key. It also applies when your key is getting worn and you want a fresh spare made from it while it still works. It does not apply when every key is already lost — that is an all-keys-lost job, and it is a different visit at the car. It does not apply when the key you have no longer works at all, because then the job is a replacement rather than a spare. If the line between a spare and a replacement is unclear, call 07988 388514 and describe your key, and we will say which one fits.
