We offer a full range of mobile BMW services. Whether you need a spare, a replacement for a lost key, programming, or an ignition repair, we handle it at your location.
Lost, stolen, or broken your only BMW key? We supply and program a new key for any model, from older diamond and blade keys to modern keyless and display keys — including "all keys lost" jobs. See our lost car key replacement service.
A spare BMW key is a sensible, lower-cost backup that saves you from being stranded later. We cut and program spares while your original still works. See our replacement car keys service.
Every modern BMW key needs pairing to the car’s CAS or FEM/BDC security system to start the engine. We program BMW remote, comfort access, and display keys with dealer-grade equipment, so only your new key works.
Worn buttons, a cracked case, a dead remote, or a display key that won’t charge don’t always mean a new key. We repair BMW fobs — and replace the battery or re-house the electronics — on-site. See our key fob repair service.
A worn, cracked, or damaged BMW key can often be repaired rather than replaced — cheaper and quicker. If it’s beyond repair, we’ll supply a new one. See our car key repair service.
On older BMWs with a mechanical ignition — the E46 3 Series is a known example — a key that won’t turn or sticks is usually a worn barrel. We repair or replace the barrel and cut a matching key on-site. If the steering lock is jammed and the key won’t turn, that’s almost always the ignition barrel too. See our ignition barrel repair service.
Two of the most common BMW faults we’re called to: a key that won’t turn (usually a worn barrel or worn key) and a key that isn’t detected by the car (an immobiliser, transponder, or programming issue). We diagnose which it is on-site and fix it — whether that’s an ignition repair, a re-programme, or a new key.
We supply, cut, program, and repair keys for the full BMW range, including:
If your BMW isn’t listed, just call — we cover models not shown here too.
BMW has used several key systems over the years, and we handle them all:
We’re usually with you within 30 minutes — call for a price before we set off.
BMW main dealers are among the most expensive places to replace a key, and they’ll usually want the car brought in. We do the same work at your home or workplace, with dealer-grade equipment that programs BMW keys properly to the car’s security system, typically at a fraction of the dealer price — with no markup and no wait.
BMW key prices depend on the model and key type — an older blade key is simpler and cheaper than a keyless comfort-access key for a new 3 Series or X5. We’re typically well below main-dealer prices and we come to you. Every quote includes the call-out and labour and is confirmed before we begin — no hidden extras.
A few things affect the exact price: the type of key (blade, comfort access, or display), the cutting and programming involved, your model and year, and whether it’s a spare or all-keys-lost job. See our full pricing page, or call with your model and year for an accurate quote.
We provide mobile BMW key and ignition services across Greater London, Kent, Essex, Surrey, and Sussex — including London, Dartford, Maidstone, Bromley, Croydon, Grays, and the surrounding towns. See our service area page for the full list, or just call and we’ll confirm we cover you.
A spare or replacement BMW key starts from £79, depending on your model and the key type. We confirm the full price, including call-out and labour, before we start — usually well below main-dealer cost.
Yes. "All keys lost" is a job we do regularly on BMWs — we program a new key from the vehicle, so you don’t need an existing key. We’ll need your V5C or proof of ownership and photo ID.
Yes. We program BMW remote, comfort access, and display-equipped vehicles’ keys using dealer-grade equipment, at your location.
Usually a worn ignition barrel or a worn key — a known issue on the E46 and similar era models. We diagnose it on-site and repair or replace the barrel, cutting a new key if needed.
In most cases, yes — often significantly. We use dealer-grade equipment to program keys properly, come to you, and confirm the price before we start, with no dealer markup.
No. We’re fully mobile and come to you — at home, at work, or at the roadside. We don’t tow your vehicle.
