What You Get When You Book Us

Six things we put in writing before you commit.

The quote is the price

What we say on the phone is what you pay. It does not move when the van arrives.

15 to 30 minutes

Typical arrival across the borough, 24 hours a day, with no night surcharge.

12 month warranty

Parts and labour on every key we supply and program.

Pay how you like

Cash, debit, credit or bank transfer. We carry a card reader in the van.

DBS checked and insured

Every technician vetted, with public liability cover behind the work.

Over 90% of makes in stock

Blanks and fobs carried on board, so most jobs finish in one visit.

Have These Ready and We Move Faster

Two minutes of prep and we can quote accurately and start as soon as we pull up.

Your car details

Make, model, year and registration. This is what turns a rough range into a fixed price.

Proof it is yours

V5C and photo ID. A photo on your phone is fine, and if the logbook is locked in the car we open up first.

Where the car is

Street, or the level and bay if you are in a multi storey. Please wait with the vehicle.

Vans, Fleets and Trade Accounts

A van off the road costs you money every hour. We prioritise commercial callouts and cover Transit, Transporter, Sprinter and the rest. If you run several vehicles, ask about cutting spares for the whole fleet in one visit. It costs a fraction of doing it one emergency at a time.

Before You Book

The questions we get asked before people say go ahead. More on our full FAQ page.

How much will my car key cost?

Most jobs land between £40 and £200 all in, decided by the type of key. Give us your make, model, year and registration and we will quote a fixed price on the call.

Do you charge a call out fee?

No. There is no call out fee and no night or weekend surcharge. The price is the same at 2am as it is at 2pm.

How quickly can you get to me?

Typically 15 to 30 minutes anywhere in the Croydon borough. We will give you an honest arrival window on the phone and ring you if traffic changes it.

Is this cheaper than the main dealer?

Almost always. Dealer quotes for the same work usually start around £180 and climb, and that is before towing the car in. We come to the vehicle instead.

How can I pay?

Cash, debit card, credit card or bank transfer. We carry a mobile card reader in the van, and for larger jobs we can arrange a payment plan.

Do you guarantee the work?

Yes. Every key we supply and program carries a 12 month parts and labour warranty.

Do I have to bring the car to you?

No, we are fully mobile. We come to your home, your workplace or the car park you are stuck in, and do the whole job there.

Can you do my make and model?

We carry blanks and fobs for over 90% of makes on the road, including keyless and push button start. Tell us the model and we will confirm before we set off.

What do I need to have ready?

Your V5C or other proof of ownership plus photo ID, and your car details. Please be with the vehicle when we arrive.

Do you cover my part of Croydon?

We cover the whole borough and roughly 15 miles beyond it, including CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8 and SE25. Ring and we will confirm your street.
