How To Get A Second Car Key​​

At Immotec, we know how crucial a second car key can be, whether for added convenience, peace of mind, or as a safeguard against emergencies. Our services are designed to offer a seamless, efficient experience tailored to your vehicle’s specific requirements. Here’s a closer look at how we make this process as convenient and straightforward as possible for you:

Comprehensive Car Key Replacement Solutions

Immotec provides a full range of car key replacement options, covering everything from traditional car keys to the latest remote or smart keys. Our team is experienced in working with most car brands, ensuring that we can meet your needs regardless of your vehicle’s make and model. With our mobile service, we bring the solution directly to you, allowing for key replacement and programming on-site.

Why Choose A Mobile Car Locksmith?

A mobile service means no more arranging transportation to a dealership or waiting in a queue. We come to your location—whether at home, work, or stranded roadside—making the process hassle-free and quick. Our locksmiths are equipped with the latest technology to deliver high-precision cutting and programming in any environment.

Expertise with Modern Key Technologies

Today’s car keys are complex and integrate with advanced security systems, often involving transponders, encrypted chips, and remote functionalities. Our team stays up-to-date with these technological advancements, and we’re fully equipped to handle:

Standard Car Keys

• Description: Basic, manual keys requiring physical insertion into locks and the ignition.
• Key Points: Simple to use and inexpensive to replace but lack modern security features.

Transponder Keys

• Description: Keys with a chip that communicates with your vehicle’s immobiliser system.
• Key Points: Adds security by preventing the car from starting without the correct chip. Requires programming, making replacements costlier than standard keys.

Remote Keys

• Description: Combine manual key functions with remote locking and unlocking.
• Key Points: Convenient and widely used but depend on batteries for remote functions. Often include buttons for boot release or panic alarms.

Smart Keys and Key Fobs

• Description: High-tech, keyless systems for entry and ignition, often used in modern cars.
• Key Points: Offer advanced features like proximity unlocking and push-to-start but are expensive to replace and require robust security against signal hacking.

Our advanced equipment allows us to programme and test these keys on the spot, ensuring they are fully compatible with your vehicle before we leave.

Faster and More Affordable than Dealerships

Dealerships can often require days or even weeks to arrange a replacement key, with prices that quickly escalate due to labour and processing costs. At Immotec, we prioritise both speed and affordability:

• Cost-Effective Service: We generally offer up to 50% savings compared to dealerships. By providing our services directly, we eliminate many of the hidden fees that dealerships typically charge.
• Quick Turnaround: With no waiting for a dealership to order parts, we’re able to offer same-day service in many cases, ensuring you’re back on the road with minimal disruption.

What’s Required for a Replacement Key

For security and accuracy, there are a few things we need from you:

• Vehicle Information: Your vehicle’s make, model, year, and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) help us prepare the correct key specifications.
• Proof of Ownership: We ask that you have documentation, such as your V5C logbook, to confirm that you are the rightful owner of the vehicle. This is a standard security measure to ensure responsible key replacement.
