If you think it was stolen
Tell me if the key was stolen or lost near the car. You may also need to speak to the police and your insurer.

Lost or stolen car keys: security options
If a car key is lost or stolen, a replacement alone may not address the security concern. Ask about removing the missing key from the vehicle’s authorised key memory, where supported.
How the service works
Removing a missing key
On cars that support it, removing a key from the car’s key memory can stop it starting the engine. It may still open the door with the blade.
Before I book you in
Send your registration and location. I’ll check what’s possible and ask for proof that you own the car or have permission to use it.

Common questions
Can a lost key be removed from the car’s memory?+
On supported vehicles, a missing key can be removed from the authorised key memory. I’ll check which options your car supports and explain what can be done.
Will removing a key from memory stop its blade opening the door?+
Electronic key removal does not necessarily change the mechanical door lock. Tell me if a key may have been stolen so I can explain the security options for your car.
How is the price calculated?+
Your quote depends on the vehicle and key type, whether you need a spare key or have lost all your keys, and your location. Travel distance from my usual service areas can affect the price. I’ll confirm the total cost before you book.
Is your work covered by a warranty?+
All work is covered by a one-year workmanship warranty. If you experience an issue with the work carried out, contact me so I can assess it and put right any fault in my workmanship.
