Yes, in most cases, a spare car key can be cut and programmed while you have a working key.
When asking for a key, it is good to provide information about your car: the make, model, year, and what type of key you have. Is it a smart key or a mechanical key, with or without remote functions?
A mechanical key is the one that you use to turn the ignition on and then crank the engine to start the car, while a smart key is one that you keep in your pocket and use by simply pressing the start/stop button.
However, it is possible for cars of the same model and year to have two different types of keys.
For example, a 2008 Suzuki Swift has both types. On this occasion, the two keys can have a huge price difference.
Now, if you ask how much it will cost, I can tell you that, firstly, it costs less than going to the dealer. That's why locksmiths have jobs!
And if, in some cases, the difficulty of the job makes the price too high, we can at least promise that you will have the key faster than the dealer would provide it.
Our services are mobile, and the cost can vary depending on your location.
I can tell you that most car keys with remote functions start at €145.
There is also the option of a non-remote-function key, which will make it cheaper. In that case, prices can start from €75.
But this price indicator can be misleading.
For example, a bladed key with no remote for a BMW 3 Series from 2001 could cost €160, while a key with remote functions for a 2007 Ford Focus could cost €155, and a key with remote functions for a 2007 Ford Transit could cost €220.
The key might also be a proximity key, in which case the price can be a bit higher, so it is always better to ask us.
