While you still have one working key, a spare is quick and inexpensive — we reference or clone the existing key. The moment you're down to no keys, it becomes a full all-keys-lost job that costs far more and takes longer.
For the price of a tank or two of fuel, a spare takes that risk off the table — no stranded mornings, no tow, no dealership wait.
We cut spares for plain keys, transponder chip keys and remotes alike, coding each one to your car so it's a true working backup — not just a shape that fits the lock.
Households sharing one car often keep a coded key each, so there's no daily handover. We can set that up in a single visit.
