Can You Make a Copy of a Car Key What You Should Know

You are looking for a new inexpensive car key from a cheap and fast car key service with experience. We explain how we can help you:

  • Where and how can I have my car key copied?
  • How a replacement car is a key copied?
  • What should I bring to the appointment for copying of the car keys?
  • How much does it cost to have a car key copied or repaired?
  • How long does it take to have a car key copied or repaired?

Repairing, Copying, or Coding Keys: Where?

In our specialist workshop for car keys, we offer car keys and accessories for various car manufacturers, such as radio remote controls, key housings, transponders, car keys, microswitches, etc.

For a new car key with a radio or immobilizer, your vehicle must be on-site in our workshop. You need an appointment for this.

This also generally applies to repairs so that the key can be programmed and tested directly on the car. With some car keys, it is also possible to copy the car key from an existing key.

Please give us a short call so that we can arrange a quick appointment for you – usually on the same day. As a rule, we can copy your car key via radio within one day.

We are pleased that you have chosen the car key service around Düsseldorf, Hilden, Essen, Duisburg, Wuppertal, Solingen, Cologne, Remscheid, Mönchengladbach, Leverkusen, Viersen, Dortmund, Hagen, Bochum etc. and that we can help you.

Repairing or Coding Keys: How?

Copying car keys with an immobilizer can be summarized in 4 steps.

  • Your car key is read (electronically and mechanically)
  • The right blank for your car is milled with a special fully automatic milling machine according to your car key beard pattern. So the key fits in the ignition lock and door lock.
  • The immobilizer in the key is usually coded on the vehicle via an OBD-2 connector. After coding, the chip will start your vehicle.
  • If you want to make a radio-controlled car key, the remote control must also be taught for the vehicle.

And your key is already ready! We will test the functionality of the key again and give you your new replacement key!

Appointment & documents to bring with you

  • You must present proof of ownership (ID card, vehicle documents, if necessary original power of attorney) so that we can produce a replacement key for your vehicle.
  • You must bring all existing keys including defective or broken keys and of course the vehicle concerned with you to your appointment.

Cost & Duration

Would you like to find out about the cost and duration of a replacement key? A replacement key is usually very expensive in authorized workshops and it takes several days or even weeks to order. In some cases, even car keys are no longer available.

We offer cheap and fast key services for lost vehicles or motorcycle keys of top quality. Our prices are up to 70% cheaper than in authorized workshops.

Costs

The cost of having a car key copied varies depending on the manufacturer and model. The car key with or without radio also plays a role in the price for copying or repairing.

Have a copy of the cost overview for car keys:

  • Mechanical car key imitation without chip transponder from 39.90 $
  • Mechanical car key imitation Duplicate/encode chip from USD 59.90
  • Copy radio key from € 89.90
  • Smart car key – imitate keyless Go from $ 99.90

Repair Cost Overview for Car Keys with Radio Remote Control

If your car key with remote control and immobilizer is only defective, e.g. you cannot open or start the car with the key or the doors are not unlocked or locked? Then we can offer a repair in such cases.

The fault is mostly due to the immobilizer chip in the key or the buttons or keypad of the radio remote control, which we can replace professionally.

In some cases, it is sufficient for us to recode the key or to relearn the radio key. Repairs to immobilizers or radio remote controls start at $ 39.90.

Remote control housing, battery change/exchange, and miscellaneous After the repair, we can also replace the remote control housing and battery, micro buttons, so that your old car key is like new again. Car key housing with battery replacement from $ 29.90.

Duration

In most cases, we can produce a quality car key cheaply in about an hour and then train it or code it.
