Car Key Replacement
Need a replacement car key? Immediate Access provides mobile car key cutting and programming for many cars and vans across Southampton and surrounding Hampshire areas.
Replacement Car Keys
People need replacement keys for all sorts of reasons: a key that's been lost, a fob that's been dropped one too many times, buttons that have stopped working, or a blade so worn it barely turns in the ignition. Whatever the reason, Immediate Access can supply, cut and program replacement keys for many cars and vans — at the vehicle, rather than at a dealer.
This page covers replacement keys in general. If you've lost every key, our lost car keys page explains that situation in detail. If you still have a working key and just want another, see spare car keys.
Damaged or worn keys
Cracked casings, bent or worn blades and sticky buttons are common. A worn blade can also wear the lock or ignition, so replacing the key early is often sensible. If the blade has snapped, see broken car keys.
Lost keys
If a key has gone missing, a replacement can often be produced for many vehicles even without the original. Read more about lost car keys.
Faulty keys
If your key has stopped being recognised by the car or the remote no longer works, the cause may be the battery, the key electronics or programming. We'll help you work out whether a replacement is needed.
Cars and vans
We replace keys for many cars and commercial vans. See also van keys.
Types of Replacement Key
Remote keys
Keys with buttons for central locking. A replacement needs the blade cut (where fitted) and both the chip and remote functions set up.
Transponder keys
Keys with an immobiliser chip that the car must recognise before it starts. These must be programmed to the vehicle.
Smart / proximity keys
Keyless-entry and push-button-start keys. Replacement depends on the vehicle, so we'll confirm what's possible.
Basic blade keys
Older vehicles may use a plain cut key with no electronics. These need accurate cutting only.
Key Cutting & Programming
A replacement key usually involves two stages. First, the blade is cut to match your vehicle's locks. Second, the key's electronics are programmed so the car recognises it. On many modern vehicles, a cut key on its own won't start the engine.
We carry out both stages at the vehicle for suitable jobs. For more detail on the electronic side, see car key programming.
Mobile Replacement & What Affects Cost
Because we're mobile, you don't need to take your car to a locksmith or dealership. For suitable jobs we come to your home, workplace or wherever the vehicle is parked.
The cost of a replacement key depends on the make, model and year, the type of key, whether a working key is available, and the work involved. To request a quote, call with your registration and vehicle details — we'll explain the options and give you a price.

Car Key Replacement FAQs
Can you replace my car key at my home?
For suitable jobs, yes. We're mobile and carry out the work at the vehicle, at home, work or another suitable location.
Do I need the original key to get a replacement?
Not always. For many vehicles a replacement can be made without the original. See our Lost Car Keys page for more.
My key is worn but still works — should I replace it?
It's often worth it. A badly worn key can become unreliable. Having another made while it still works is usually more straightforward.
Can you replace just the case of my key?
Sometimes a damaged case can be swapped while keeping the existing electronics. Call and describe the key and we'll advise.
Do you replace van keys?
Yes, we work on many commercial vans as well as cars.
What affects the cost of a replacement key?
The make, model and year, the key type, whether a working key is available, and the work required. Call for a quote.
