Same-day key replacement and programming with dealer-level equipment. A faster alternative when manufacturer supply chains can't keep up.
OEM key ordering works — until it doesn't. These are the situations where main dealers need a faster option.
OEM lead times. Ordering replacement keys through manufacturer channels can take days or weeks. Meanwhile, vehicles sit on your forecourt tying up stock value and space.
Lost sales. Vehicles awaiting keys cannot be prepped, demonstrated, or handed over. Every day a used car sits without keys is a day it is not earning or moving through your pipeline.
Customer frustration. Collection delays caused by key issues reflect poorly on the dealership experience. Customers do not distinguish between a supply chain problem and your service quality.
OEM pricing. Manufacturer key pricing is set at retail level. On used car prep and part-exchange work, those costs eat directly into your margin when a trade alternative exists.
Same result as an OEM key. Fraction of the lead time. Significantly lower cost.
We use the same diagnostic and programming platforms as main dealer workshops — Autel IM608 Pro, Lonsdor K518, Smart Pro, and more. The key your customer receives is cut to OEM specification and programmed to the vehicle's immobiliser system. The difference is turnaround: we deliver same-day as standard, not days or weeks.
Part-exchange vehicles arriving with one key or no keys are a daily reality for used car operations. Rather than ordering through manufacturer channels at retail pricing, send the job to us. Trade rates mean better margins on every unit you prep for sale.
We are not suggesting you replace your OEM key supply. But when lead times slip, when a customer is waiting, or when the numbers need to work on a used car — we are the call you make. Same-day, trade-priced, dealer-equivalent.
Most key jobs completed within the working day. No more vehicles sitting on your forecourt waiting for OEM parts to arrive.
Autel, Lonsdor, Zed-Full, Smart Pro — the same platforms used in main dealer workshops. OEM-equivalent results without the OEM wait.
Significantly below OEM retail rates. On used car prep alone, the savings add up across every unit you process.
Walk a key into our workshop, book a mobile visit to your site, or post it in. Whichever suits your workflow — same rate, same speed.
The key services dealerships call us for most — all delivered at trade rates with same-day turnaround.
One application. Trade pricing, credit terms, and a named account manager — usually confirmed within one business day.
