Key Types and Pricing:

I offer a range of car key options based on your vehicle’s needs and budget. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right key type:


1. Basic Key (Non-Transponder): £35 - £50

• What it is: A simple metal key without electronic components, perfect for unlocking doors and starting older vehicles.

• When to choose: For vehicles that don’t use electronic security systems.

• Price Difference: The lower price is for aftermarket-compatible keys, which may look different but function just as well. The higher price is for keys that match the original manufacturer’s style.


2. Transponder Key: £80 - £100

• What it is: This key contains a small electronic chip (transponder) that communicates with your car to start the engine. It needs to be programmed.

• When to choose: Most modern cars with electronic immobilisers need this type of key.

• Price Difference: Aftermarket transponder keys are more affordable but may look slightly different. Manufacturer-style keys, which cost more, closely resemble the original key.


3. Remote Key: £100 - £130

• What it is: A key with buttons to remotely lock/unlock your car, and it also includes a transponder chip to start the engine.

• When to choose: For vehicles with remote locking/unlocking.

• Price Difference: Aftermarket remote keys are cheaper but may differ in design. Manufacturer-style remote keys cost more but match the original’s look and function.


4. Remote Proximity Key: £150 - £200

• What it is: A key that allows keyless entry and push-button start, unlocking and starting the car when it’s near.

• When to choose: For vehicles with advanced keyless entry systems.

• Price Difference: Aftermarket options are more budget-friendly but may lack some design features. Manufacturer-style proximity keys are more expensive but match the original key perfectly in design and functionality.
