Quick Vehicle Keys UK LTD | Car Key Replacement Specialists

Losing your only car key can be stressful and inconvenient — especially if you’re stranded at work, at home, or out on the road. But don’t panic — this guide will walk you through exactly what to do if you’ve lost your only car key and need help fast.

🚨 Step 1: Stay Calm and Don’t Force Entry

We know it’s tempting — but trying to unlock your car yourself (with coat hangers, screwdrivers, or YouTube hacks) can:
• Damage your locks or window seals
• Trigger your alarm or immobiliser
• End up costing more in repairs

Your best bet is to call a professional auto locksmith who can get you back in without damage.

📞 Step 2: Call a Mobile Auto Locksmith Near You

If you’re in Kent, South East London, Essex, Surrey, or surrounding areas, call Quick Vehicle Keys UK LTD. We come to your location — home, work, or roadside — and can usually:
• Unlock your car
• Cut a new key
• Program it on the spot

✅ No towing.
✅ No dealership delays.
✅ Same-day service available.

📋 Step 3: Be Ready to Prove Ownership

For security reasons, we’ll always ask for:
• Photo ID
• Proof of vehicle ownership (V5 logbook, insurance, etc.)

This protects you and ensures keys aren’t issued to unauthorised people.

🔐 Step 4: Replace & Program a New Key

Once ownership is confirmed, we’ll:
• Decode your vehicle locks
• Cut a replacement key
• Program it to your car’s immobiliser system
• Deactivate the lost key (if required)

You’ll be back on the road, often within an hour of arrival.

💡 Step 5: Get a Spare Key Made (While We’re There)

If you’ve lost your only key once, it can happen again. We always recommend making a spare key while we’re on-site — it’s faster, cheaper, and gives you backup for the future.
