Lost or Stolen Keys
Lost your only car key, snapped it, or had it stolen? AKL cuts and programmes a brand new key at your home, work or the roadside across Salisbury and the surrounding SP postcodes. No recovery truck, no main dealer, no long wait.
Losing your car keys is stressful, especially when it is the only key you have. The good news is that most modern car keys can be replaced at the roadside without ever visiting a franchised dealer. Barry comes to you with the cutting and programming kit already in the van, identifies your key type, cuts a fresh blade and codes it to your vehicle on the spot.
For an "all keys lost" job, where there is no working key at all, the process takes a little longer because the new key has to be generated from the vehicle rather than copied from an existing one. Even so, most cars are back on the road the same visit. Barry will always give you a clear price before starting, so there are no surprises.
Security matters after a loss or theft. When we programme your replacement, we can wipe the old keys from the car memory where the system allows it, so a lost or stolen key can no longer start or unlock your vehicle. That is peace of mind you do not get from simply cutting another copy.
Yes. An "all keys lost" job means we generate a fresh key directly from your vehicle rather than copying an existing one. It takes a little longer than a spare, but Barry carries the kit to do it on-site in Salisbury and the surrounding area.
Most replacements are cut and programmed within 30 to 60 minutes once Barry is with you. Older or more unusual vehicles can take longer, and we will tell you before we start.
No. We replace keys for the vast majority of makes and models at your location, which saves you a tow to the dealer and usually costs a good deal less.
Yes. You get a fully working key or remote coded to your car, cut to the correct profile. It locks, unlocks and starts the vehicle exactly like the original.
