Since 1995, all cars have been required to include an immobiliser system to prevent theft. This means an engine will only start if it detects the correct code from a transponder embedded in the corresponding key. Additionally, modern keys often feature remote locking and unlocking capabilities, further increasing their cost.

However, replacing a car key doesn’t have to break the bank—if you choose the right provider. While going through your car’s manufacturer dealership might seem like the obvious choice, it’s also the most expensive. Plus, you’ll likely need to visit them multiple times, as they must first order your key before programming it. Simply calling and requesting one isn’t an option.

If you’ve lost your only key, the challenge becomes even greater—how do you get your car to the dealership in the first place? One thing is certain: they won’t come to you.

At Yorkshire Auto Locksmiths, we eliminate all of that hassle and wasted time. As a fully mobile car key-cutting service, we do travel to you, wherever you are in South Yorkshire. Simply give us a call to schedule a convenient appointment at your home or at your workplace. You can carry on with your day while we handle the rest quickly and efficiently.

Worried about cost? We’ve got that covered too. Our prices are significantly lower than any car dealership, no matter your vehicle’s make or model. Plus, as a small, local business, we offer another advantage—you won’t have to pay VAT. Unlike dealerships, which must add an extra 20% to their prices, we aren’t VAT registered, meaning more savings for you without compromising on quality.
