The Service Explained

What Is Car Key Replacement and When Do You Need It?

Car key replacement covers any situation where an existing key needs to be replaced. This includes keys physically damaged or worn — where the blade no longer turns smoothly — keys where the transponder chip has stopped communicating with the vehicle's immobiliser, keys where the remote function has failed, and keys broken in the lock or in your pocket.

Unlike lost key replacement which requires VIN-based key generation, standard replacement is more straightforward when the original is present — it can be used as reference. In either case the new key is cut on-site using the Xhorse Condor, programmed to the vehicle's immobiliser using dealer-level equipment, and fully tested before we leave.
