Why Get a Spare Car Key Made?
Most people only think about a spare key after they have lost their only one. At that point, the cost and inconvenience is far greater than having a spare cut in advance.Having a spare cut while your original is in hand is a quick job and costs a fraction of what an emergency replacement runs. It also keeps you covered if your main key gets lost, damaged, or develops a fault — no recovery truck, no waiting around.If you have recently bought a used car and were only given one key, having a spare cut is one of the first things worth doing.
What Types of Spare Car Keys Do We Cover?
Modern car keys are more complex than a simple metal blade. Most vehicles made in the last 15 to 20 years use at least one form of electronic security that has to be programmed alongside the physical key cut. We cover all of the following:
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys have a built-in chip that your car's immobiliser must recognise before it will allow the engine to start. Without that pairing, turning the key achieves nothing. We handle the programming at your location so the new key works with your vehicle straight away.
Remote Central Locking Keys
Keys with remote locking buttons require the remote signal to be paired to your vehicle, as well as the blade cut to profile. We handle both in the same visit.
Proximity and Smart Keys
Keyless entry and push-button start vehicles use proximity fobs that communicate with the car wirelessly. These require specialist programming equipment. We carry the tools to cut and code proximity keys for the most common vehicle makes.
Flip Keys and Combination Keys
Many vehicles use a flip key where the blade folds into the fob housing. We cut the blade to the correct profile and program the electronics as part of the same job.

Spare Car Key FAQs- Keys and Remap Solution, Cannock
How much does a spare car key cost in Cannock?
Pricing varies based on your vehicle and the type of key required. Older key types generally cost less than proximity fobs on newer models. Contact us with your make, model, and year, and we will give you a straight quote before you commit to anything.
Do I need to bring my original key?
For most spare key jobs, having your original key on hand speeds up the process. However, if you have lost your only key, see our Lost Car Key service — we can still create a replacement using your vehicle identification data.
Can you cut a spare key for a van or commercial vehicle?
Yes. We work on the most common vans and light commercial vehicles, including those used for work. Contact us with the vehicle details to confirm.
Will having a spare key affect my car insurance?
Not in the way a modification would. However, insurers may ask how many keys exist for the vehicle. Always store your spare key securely and away from the vehicle.
Can you come to my home or workplace in Cannock?
Yes. We are fully mobile and will come to your home, workplace, or any other location across Cannock and the surrounding areas in Staffordshire.
