Our Process

What to do if you’ve lost your car keys

Stay calm. Losing your keys is one of the most common reasons people call a locksmith, and it’s a problem we solve every day. Here’s the quickest route back to your car.

Check the obvious places first.

Pockets, bags, jacket lining, between sofa cushions. It sounds simple, but a few minutes searching can save a call-out.

Call CJL on 01634 980220.

Tell us your vehicle make, model, year, and where you are. We’ll confirm we can help and give you a fixed quote on the call.

Stay with your vehicle if possible.

We’ll come to you. There’s no need to arrange recovery or travel anywhere.

Have some ID ready.

We ask all customers for proof of ownership before cutting and programming a new key. A driving licence, V5C, or insurance document is fine.

FAQs

Lost car keys FAQs

Can you make a new key if I’ve lost all of them?

Yes. We cut and program a completely new key with no original required. We carry equipment for all major makes and models and complete the whole process on-site at your location.

How quickly can you reach me?

We aim to reach customers across Kent within 60 minutes. We’ll give you an honest ETA when you call.

Will a new key work with all my car’s features?

Yes. We program the replacement key to your vehicle’s ECU and immobiliser, so central locking, remote functions, and push-button start (where applicable) all work as normal.

What if someone else has my lost keys?

If you’re concerned a lost set of keys could be used to access your vehicle, we can reset your car’s immobiliser and supply a new set of keys. This wipes any previously programmed keys from the system.

How much does lost car key replacement cost?

Cost depends on your make, model, and key type. We give you a fixed quote before starting any work. Call 01634 980220 for a free quote.

Do you cover my make and model?

We cover the vast majority of cars on UK roads, including Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, and more. Call us to confirm for your vehicle.

What ID do I need to show?

For security we ask for proof of ownership or ID before cutting a new key. A driving licence, V5C logbook, or insurance certificate is sufficient.

Is it cheaper to replace through you than through the dealer?

Yes, and much faster. Dealer appointments for lost key replacement can take days and carry a significant markup. We come to you the same day.
