Immediate Action for Lost Car Keys

Discovering your car keys are missing can escalate stress quickly. Follow these initial steps to begin resolving the situation with ease:

Stay Calm and Search: Take a moment to calmly re-check familiar places where you might have left your keys. Sometimes, they’re not lost but misplaced, and more often than not, when we re-look, we find our lost keys (even though we looked in that place and they weren’t there)!

Secure Your Vehicle: If possible, ensure your vehicle is in a safe location. If you suspect your keys have been stolen, consider the safety of your car.

Gather Essential Information: Please have your vehicle’s make, model, and year ready to help us assist you quickly. If available, note your vehicle identification number (VIN) in the engine bay, around the driver or passenger door opening,

• Vehicle Make (i.e. Volvo)
• Model (e.g. XC90)
• Year (2022)
• VIN 

1. Call us to book an appointment

Most appointments will be the same day you call. But depending on how busy we are, some appointments will be the following day.

2. Vehicle entry

Losing your car key often means the car will be locked. We need to open the car to get you a new replacement key programmed. We normally pick the door lock to gain entry in a couple of minutes.

3. Key Cutting

Next we need to cut the key to the car. Even if the car has keyless entry, we will still need to cut the key to the car. We do this in various ways depending on the car we are working on.

4. Key Programming

Next is the key programming. Once the key is programmed the key will then start the car. If the car has remote central locking it will work the remote system as normal!
