CAR KEY REPLACEMENT, SPARE CAR KEYS, AND AUTO LOCKSMITH SERVICES AT A COMPETITIVE PRICE
How much does it cost, and where can I get spare car keys?
Due to the relative simplicity of automotive keys in the past, key replacement costs were cheaper. Since no specialised tools were required, any hardware store could cut car keys.
Automobile manufacturers have improved safety features over time. As a result, edgy, all-inclusive electronic gadgets have replaced traditional car keys. The rising expense of getting another set of automobile keys cut is partly attributed to increased security measures during vehicle production.
Car key replacement involves multiple steps:
- Sourcing the raw key
- Blade cutting
- Immobiliser codes
- Key programming
Factors that contribute to key replacement costs
- The vehicle makes
- The vehicle model
- The registration year
- The specification or edition
CAR KEY REPLACEMENT COSTS VARY BASED ON MAKE AND MODEL
It costs £217 to replace a Ford automobile key from 2012 with a flip-type remote blade key, whereas an identical key for a Volkswagen from the same year costs £257.
Most cars’ key prices vary by manufacturer and year. The key for a 2012 Vauxhall Corsa costs £235, while the key for a 2017 model costs £264. I find it fascinating that Nissan has set the price of a remote replacement key at a flat £360.
Vehicle specifications may also play a role in car key replacement costs. It is especially true in light of the increased use of the keyless entry system. A 2015 Ford Fiesta, for instance, can be had with either a flipped key blade or a keyless technology remote; the latter option comes at a premium.
It’s also crucial to remember that most franchised primary dealers offer different prices for replacing car keys. Dealers in or near major cities may charge more than those in more rural areas since the higher prices are often a direct result of higher living costs in urban areas.
If you lose your only car key, you’ll need to factor in the cost of recovery, as primary dealers in the UK do not offer mobile key replacement services. Or, if you only have one key, you’ll have to bring your car to their service centre. The dealer may sometimes charge you for providing the necessary key number and immobiliser code.
Whether or not a spare key is available can also affect the final price. When all keys are lost, the process can be more time-consuming, and expensive replacement parts may be required.

COST VERSUS QUALITY
Cheap isn’t always the best! Always have the task done right the first time to save money.
In the same way, there may be many locksmiths around the corner who charge less. However, saving ₤10 on a replacement key could cost you more. Using cheap tools that aren’t real, unskilled locksmiths can damage a body control module. Therefore, it is always wise to seek help from experts.
