Car Key Help & Advice

Quick answers to the questions we’re asked most often.

My car keys have been stolen ?

If your car keys have been stolen, it’s important to act quickly to help protect your vehicle from theft. If you have a spare key, we recommend moving your car to a safe location and removing any valuables from inside the vehicle as soon as possible.

We can provide replacement keys and, for many makes and models, remove the stolen keys from the vehicle’s system so they no longer work. If you still have a spare key available, the replacement process is often quicker and more cost-effective.

Our mobile auto locksmith service can assist you quickly and help restore the security of your vehicle.

How can I keep my car keys safe ?

Keeping your car keys safe is important to help prevent theft and unauthorised access to your vehicle. If you have a keyless entry vehicle, we recommend storing your keys in a Faraday box or signal-blocking pouch to help prevent relay theft. You should also keep keys away from doors and windows, avoid leaving spare keys inside the vehicle, and store spare keys securely at home.

Try to avoid leaving keys visible near entrances, inside jackets or bags in public places, or inside the vehicle itself. It’s also best not to attach personal information or your home address to your keyring. Taking a few simple precautions can greatly reduce the risk of theft or lost keys.

My car fob has stopped working ?

If your car key fob has stopped working, the problem is often caused by a flat battery, damaged buttons or the key losing synchronisation with the vehicle. In many cases, replacing the battery can quickly solve the issue. Some key fobs also contain a hidden manual key inside the housing, allowing you to unlock the vehicle manually if the remote functions stop working.

If your key still doesn’t work after changing the battery, we can diagnose the fault and provide replacement or reprogramming services for most makes and models.
