I've just bought a used car with one key — can you help?

Yes, and that is the ideal time to act. With a working key present, a spare is a planned appointment rather than an emergency.

Can you program a key I bought online?

Sometimes. If it is genuinely the correct type for your vehicle it can often be coded; if it is not compatible, it cannot be made to work.

Do you cover Darwen as well as Blackburn?

Yes, along with the surrounding villages. Confirm your postcode when quoting.

What warranty comes with the key?

Twelve months on the keys we supply and the programming we carry out.

Around Blackburn

Coverage includes Blackburn and Darwen themselves plus Great Harwood, Wilpshire, Mellor, Rishton and the neighbouring parts of Hyndburn.

We see a broad mix of vehicles here, from long-owned family cars to recent lease returns — the key type matters far more than the badge.

Still have one working key?

That is the easiest time to sort a second one. A spare is a planned appointment while the vehicle is in normal use; once the last key is gone, the job becomes longer and varies considerably by vehicle.
