Buying a Used Car? Always Get a Spare Key

When you buy a used car, it often comes with just one key. It’s easy to overlook — until that single key is lost or damaged and you’re suddenly facing an expensive, stressful all-keys-lost situation.

Why a spare is worth it straight away

Cutting a spare while you still have a working key is far cheaper than replacing a key from scratch later. It also means you’re never stranded, and you have a backup to keep at home or give to a partner.

What we need to make your spare

Just your make, model and year, your existing key, and proof of ownership. We come to you, cut the spare and program it to your car’s immobiliser on-site, usually within the hour.
