Q: How much will a key replacement cost in Clacton?
A: Costs vary depending on key type (basic vs smart/fob) and if you still have a working key. We provide a free quote — typically far less than dealer pricing.

Q: I’ve lost all my keys — can you still help?
A: Yes — we specialise in “all keys lost” scenarios. We can cut and programme a brand-new key on-site.

Q: Do you need the vehicle’s VIN or original key code?
A: Having the VIN or key code helps. If you don’t have it, we can often still work from the vehicle’s system.

A: Yes. We use quality key blanks and programming equipment to ensure full functionality (remote, immobiliser, etc).
