Vehicle key replacement is not one-size-fits-all. The type of key your car uses will determine the service, the tools required, and the cost. Here is a breakdown of the most common situations we handle.
Having spare keys for your car is one of the most practical things you can do as a vehicle owner. It removes the risk of being stranded if your primary key is lost, damaged, or left somewhere. We can make a spare key for most cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans at your location.

When all keys to a vehicle are gone, vehicle car key replacement requires a few extra steps. Our experienced locksmiths will decode the lock or use the VIN to identify the correct key profile, cut a new vehicle key, and then program the transponder chip so the car’s immobiliser recognises it. This service covers cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles.
If your car key is worn, cracked, or the buttons on the fob have stopped responding, it is often better to change the car key entirely rather than continue with a key that might fail at an inconvenient time. We supply and program replacement keys and fobs for most vehicle makes. You do not need your old key present for this service in most cases.
Need a duplicate key made and prefer not to drive across town? Our mobile car locksmith services bring the key cutting and programming to you. Whether you are at home, at work, or at a parking lot, we come to your location. We carry blanks for most vehicle makes and can produce a working duplicate key while you wait, at a price that is typically well below what a dealer charges.
Sometimes the issue is not the key itself but the ignition lock or door lock cylinder. If your key turns but the ignition does not respond, or the key is difficult to insert and remove, the lock mechanism may need attention. Our automotive locksmith service includes ignition repair, ignition replacement, and cylinder rekeying so your existing key continues to work correctly.
Modern car keys contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to your specific vehicle before the car will start. Key programming is a specialist service that requires dedicated automotive software. Our experienced locksmiths use up-to-date programming tools to pair your new key with your vehicle correctly. We handle key programming for most makes including Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and many others.
Yes, in most cases a locksmith can produce a working car key using only the lock itself, without needing the original key. This process is called lock decoding or impressioning. A skilled automotive locksmith inserts a specialised tool into the keyhole, reads the internal cuts of the lock cylinder, and uses that information to cut a matching key.
This technique works well for traditional mechanical car keys. For vehicles with transponder chips or proximity fobs, decoding the lock will give the locksmith the correct key cut, but the key will also need to be electronically programmed to the vehicle before it will start the engine.
In practice, most locksmiths today use a combination of lock decoding and VIN-based key code lookup to get the most accurate result. Providing your Vehicle Identification Number speeds up the process and can improve accuracy, especially for newer vehicles with more complex key systems.
If you have lost all copies of your car keys and only have access to the vehicle itself, GTA Lockman can help. Our automotive locksmith team carries the decoding equipment and programming tools needed to produce a complete car key from the lock alone, at your location.
