We offer a full range of mobile Kia 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 Kia key? We cut and program a new key for any model, from older transponder keys to modern keyless smart fobs — including "all keys lost" jobs. See our lost car key replacement service.
A spare Kia key is a sensible, lower-cost backup that saves you from being stranded later. We cut and program spares while your original still works — often by cloning. See our replacement car keys service.
Every modern Kia key needs pairing to the car’s immobiliser to start the engine. We program transponder, remote, and keyless smart keys with dealer-grade equipment, so only your new key works.
Worn buttons, a cracked case, or a dead remote don’t always mean a new key. We repair Kia fobs — and replace the battery or re-house the electronics — on-site. See our key fob repair service.
A bent, worn, or snapped Kia key can often be repaired rather than replaced — cheaper and quicker. If it’s beyond repair, we’ll cut a new one. See our car key repair service.
If your key won’t turn, sticks, or the ignition feels worn, the barrel is usually the cause. 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 Kia 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 Kia range, including:
If your Kia isn’t listed, just call — we cover models not shown here too.
Kia 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.
Kia key prices depend on the model and key type — an older transponder key is simpler and cheaper than a keyless smart key for a new Sportage or Niro. 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 (transponder, remote, or keyless), 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 Kia 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 Kia 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 Kias — 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 Kia transponder, remote, and keyless smart keys using dealer-grade equipment, at your location.
Usually a worn ignition barrel or a worn key. We diagnose it on-site and repair or replace the barrel, cutting a new key if needed.
Most Kia keys are cut and programmed in 30 to 90 minutes on-site, depending on the model and key type. We give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
No. We’re fully mobile and come to you — at home, at work, or at the roadside. We don’t tow your vehicle.
