Spare car keys in Leicester
A working spare can save time if your main key is lost. We can check compatible spare key options for your car or van.
Tell us what key you have
Send the registration, make, model and year. Tell us how many working keys you have and whether you need a simple key, a remote key or a smart key. A photo of the front and back of your current key can help us identify the correct style.
What kind of spare do you need?
Tell us whether you need a key that starts the car, a remote with working buttons, or both. A matching case alone does not establish compatibility. We check the vehicle and existing key before recommending parts or quoting. If your only key is already missing, use our lost car key page.
Cutting and programming
Depending on the vehicle, a spare may need a blade cut to the lock and an electronic transponder programmed to start the engine. Remote button operation can be a separate step. We confirm the parts and supported method before quoting.
Check the finished key
When a key is made, check the blade, engine start and remote buttons that are included in the job before you put the spare away. Keep the spare in a safe place separate from your everyday key.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add a third key if I already have two?
Many vehicles support additional keys, but the limit and method vary. Send the model and year so we can check.
Can I use my own key blank or remote?
Please share its part number or clear photos first. Appearance alone does not confirm electronic compatibility.
