Keys Lost Away From Home
You know the vehicle location but no key remains, so a mobile replacement route is needed.
Lost every car key in Corby? AutoKeyChase provides 24/7 mobile all-keys-lost assistance for supported cars and vans. The job can include vehicle access, key generation, blade cutting and immobiliser programming when there is no authorised working key left.
An all-keys-lost job is not the same as copying a spare. The vehicle generation and immobiliser system determine how a new key is prepared and authorised, so send the registration, make, model, year and location when you contact us.

When no usable key remains, AutoKeyChase has to work from the vehicle rather than from an existing authorised key. Depending on the system, that can involve gaining access to the vehicle, determining the correct key specification, cutting the blade, preparing the transponder or smart key and programming it to the immobiliser so the vehicle recognises the new key.
The cause of the loss changes the security and practical steps that matter before a new key is made.
You know the vehicle location but no key remains, so a mobile replacement route is needed.
Tell us if the key may be in someone else’s hands because the security concern is different from an accidental loss.
A broken or water-damaged last key can leave the vehicle in the same practical position as all keys lost.
Proximity and push-button-start systems require the correct vehicle-specific smart-key authorisation.
Access may be required before the replacement and programming route can proceed.
If you recently bought the vehicle and the only supplied key is gone, provide the vehicle and entitlement details when booking.
The process starts with the vehicle identity and security system, not with a key to copy.
Send the registration, make, model, year and location, and be ready to show evidence that you are entitled to the vehicle.
If the vehicle is locked and the job requires access, an appropriate non-destructive entry route is used where the vehicle design allows.
The correct blade, transponder, remote or smart key is prepared and programmed using the supported vehicle-specific route.
The new key functions are checked and any known security concern around the missing key can be discussed before completion.
Car key services start from £90 where applicable, but an all-keys-lost job can cost more than making a spare because no working key remains to copy or use for authorisation.
Price depends on the vehicle, key type, access required and programming route. Smart keys, manufacturer-specific security systems and module-related work can require different equipment and time.
AutoKeyChase normally does not charge a call-out fee. A charge may apply where a separate vehicle fault affects the work. Send full vehicle details for a job-specific quote.
Final pricing depends on the vehicle, fault, key/security system and work required.

The exact year, programming method, price and completion time are not published because those details have not been verified for this job. The example still demonstrates hands-on all-keys-lost work on a modern vehicle.
AutoKeyChase has access to Zed-Full Plus, Smart Pro, Autel, ACDP, VVDI Prog, VVDI2, VVDI MB, Key Tool Plus, OSCA, R-Link, Tango, Lonsdor and KDX4. That matters on all-keys-lost work because different manufacturers store and authorise key data in different ways.
The job may involve transponder generation, immobiliser programming, EEPROM/module work or manufacturer-specific security access. The vehicle system determines which platform and procedure are appropriate.
All-keys-lost procedures vary sharply by manufacturer and generation. AutoKeyChase has specialist experience across Volkswagen Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Volvo and Nissan, alongside MG, LDV/SAIC and Polestar.
