Spare Car Keys in Newcastle

Why a spare car key is worth having

Plenty of cars are sold second-hand with just one key. Everything is fine until that key is lost, snapped or goes through the washing machine — and suddenly it's an all-keys-lost job, which is more involved. Adding a spare while you still have a working key keeps things simple.

Spare keys we can supply

Transponder keys

A plain-looking key with a chip inside. It must be cut to your locks and programmed to the immobiliser before the car will start.

Remote and flip keys

Keys with lock and unlock buttons. Both the transponder and the remote function need setting up, so the doors respond as well as the engine.

Keyless / proximity fobs

Fobs that stay in your pocket while you unlock and start the car. Many can be added as a spare with the right equipment — tell us the vehicle and we'll confirm.

Who usually asks for a spare

• Drivers who bought a used car with only one key
• Households sharing a car between two drivers
• Small businesses and trades with vans used by several people
• Anyone whose remaining key is worn, cracked or unreliable

If your existing key is already failing, a car key replacement may be the better route. We'll advise when you call.
