FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is car key programming and why do I need it?

Modern vehicles use electronic keys that must be coded to your specific car's immobiliser system before they will start the engine. Simply cutting a new key blade is not enough — the electronic chip inside the key must be programmed to match your vehicle. Without programming, the key will operate the locks but the engine will not start. AutoWagon handles both the cutting and programming on-site in a single visit.

Can you programme a car key without the original?

Yes. Even if you have lost all your keys, our mobile technicians can programme a brand-new key directly to your vehicle using advanced diagnostic equipment. We do not need the original key to complete the job — just your vehicle's make, model, year and registration.

How long does car key programming take?

Most car key programming jobs are completed within 30 to 60 minutes at your location. More complex vehicles with advanced security systems or keyless entry may take slightly longer. We carry the equipment and software needed for most major makes and models, so there is no need to wait for parts to be ordered.

Which vehicles require specialist key programming?

Most vehicles manufactured after 1995 use transponder keys that require electronic programming. Newer vehicles with smart keys, proximity keys, or push-button start systems require more advanced programming tools. AutoWagon works with most major brands including Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Toyota, Renault, Nissan and many more. If you are unsure whether your vehicle requires specialist programming, call us with your registration and we will confirm before booking.

Is car key programming cheaper than going to a dealership?

In almost all cases yes. Main dealerships typically charge significantly more for key programming and may require you to tow the vehicle to their premises, adding further cost. AutoWagon comes directly to your location with all equipment needed, so you avoid towing costs entirely. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins — call or use our quote form for an accurate price for your vehicle.

Can you programme spare or duplicate keys?

Yes. If you already have a working key and want a programmed spare, AutoWagon can cut and programme an additional key at your location. Having a spare programmed key is strongly recommended — it avoids the higher cost and stress of replacing a lost single key in the future.

Tom Butters

Needed a new car key as mine had deteriorated to a point that it wouldn't lock the car. Turned up on a Sunday within 15 minutes and had it sorted within half an hour. Friendly chap, excellent service 👍

Adam Armstrong Brown

Technichan arrived bang on time and completed the key fob replacement in 40 minutes - very fair price and a happy customer

David Coles

Excellent service- came out on a bank holiday to supply spare key for my Volkswagen Polo. Cutting and re- programming managed without fuss and new key worked perfectly.

Sam was polite and friendly prompt providing a spare new fob and getting it programmed in a short space of time, Discovered the emergency key I had is incorrect and did work out the cut for the correct key, sadly he was unable to make that at the visit so will need another call out if I want that done too. To be honest, had he been able to cut the new correct emergency key there and then I would have given 5 stars, but still definitely worth 4 and I would call them again if I need a new key.

Charlotte Hood

Great friendly service, quick to respond and sorted the issue right away!

Craig Stafford

Called Sam and explained my situation, he was there within 30 minutes and sorted out a new key and reprogramming. Awesome guy

Lee Godbold

My daughter was locked out of her car, Sam got to the car within 1 hour of calling, reprogrammed 2 keys, that work better than original Awesome service and highly recommended.

Debra Cook

We had to replace two sets of keys. The first message I sent with an enquiry I had a speedy response with all the info I needed. Responsive which is brilliant, professional job much less than the main dealer and a better service. Would really recommend and nice to see a professional business who do what they say. Well done and thanks.

Great service, quick to answer after filling out the contact form. Set up an appointment the following day, came and made up a new key with a remote fob. I can now open the fuel cap and open the back door of the van without having to press the central locking button on the dash! Both locks were damaged, probably by someone trying to break in to the van. The van only came with one manual key so the fob is going to make a big difference. Definitely recommend
