Losing or breaking a key on a modern European car is rarely just a cutting job. On most late-model Audi, BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the key carries a transponder that has to pair with the immobiliser before the engine will start, so a spare blade on its own won’t get you moving. That’s where a lot of the cost and the waiting time come from. Sommer Car Care in Newmarket handles this side of things day to day, and the questions below cover how car key replacement works, from lost keys and spares through to smart fobs and coding.
Car Keys Replacement FAQ’s
First, we check proof of ownership and your vehicle details, then order the right blank for the model. We cut and code the new fob here in the workshop, so there’s no need to have the car towed to a dealer. A full replacement sorts the cut key and the electronics together in one visit. If the old key is properly lost, we wipe it from the system too, so nobody can use it to start the car.
We can. To replace car key units with nothing to copy, we pull the security data stored in the vehicle and build a new key from that. It happens more than you’d think, usually after a set of keys goes missing and the owner is left with nothing that works. Audi, BMW and Volvo drivers have all come to us in exactly that spot.
Usually the same day, once we’ve got your details. A plain cut key is quick work. Smart keys need coding, which adds time, but a standard replacement for car models we keep in stock is often done within a couple of hours.
Yes. Proximity keys, push-button start and keyless remotes are all part of what we do, mostly on late-model Audi, BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. Each fob gets matched to the car’s security system with dealer-level equipment. Keyless setups take longer than a plain blade because there’s more to code, but once it’s done, the new key behaves just like the one that came with the car.
Almost always, yes. The key has a transponder inside that has to talk to the immobiliser before the engine turns over. A cut key on its own will open the doors, but the car won’t start, so coding is built into every car key replacement job we do.
It’s the main thing we do. We work on Volkswagen, Skoda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Range Rover, Volvo and Mini, plus the German marques. Because the Newmarket workshop keeps stock and coding gear for the common models, you’re not left waiting around for parts to arrive.
Ring us with your rego and proof that the car is yours. Losing every key sounds like a dead end, but key replacement is still doable, since we build the new key straight from the vehicle’s own data.
Definitely, and it’s worth doing. Cutting a second key while you’ve still got the original is quicker and cheaper than starting from scratch. Sort the car keys replacement out now, and you save yourself the panic of an emergency callout down the track.
