Our Services
What's Included in Our Peterborough Car Key Replacement Service
Key Cutting to Your Vehicle's Lock Profile
Every replacement starts with a precisely cut key blank matched to your car's lock. We carry blanks for all major manufacturers and cut on site at your Peterborough address using professional equipment. No waiting for parts to be ordered.
Transponder Chip Programming
Most modern car keys contain a transponder chip that communicates with your vehicle's immobiliser. Without correct programming, a cut key won't start the car. We program the chip to your specific vehicle on site, so the key works the first time you turn it.
Remote Fob Pairing
If your replacement key includes a remote fob for central locking, we pair it to your vehicle during the same visit. Both the key and the fob are tested before we leave.
Smart Key and Proximity Key Replacement
Keyless entry and push button start systems use more complex programming, but we handle them regularly across Peterborough's growing number of newer vehicles. We carry up to date diagnostic equipment for modern smart key vehicles, including SUVs, hybrids, and premium models.
Spare Key Cutting
If you still have one working key and want a spare made, now is the easiest and most cost effective time to do it. Getting a spare cut while you have an existing key is quicker and simpler than replacing a lost key from scratch. Call us for a quote.
Full Testing Before We Leave
Every replacement key is tested across all door locks, the boot, and the ignition before we consider the job complete. You won't be left in any doubt that it works.

frequently asked questions
Car Key Replacement in Peterborough — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does car key replacement take in Peterborough?
Most car key replacements are completed on site in a single visit, anywhere in Peterborough. A standard key with a transponder chip typically takes 30 to 60 minutes from arrival. Smart keys and proximity keys with keyless entry systems can take a little longer, depending on the vehicle make and model. When you call, we’ll give you a realistic time estimate based on your specific vehicle and your location in the city.
How much does car key replacement cost in Peterborough?
The cost of car key replacement varies depending on the type of key your vehicle uses and the make and model involved. A basic cut and program key is generally less expensive than a full smart key or proximity key replacement. Main dealers typically charge significantly more and require you to wait days for an appointment. Call Keygrammer on 07723 427101 for an instant quote over the phone before we arrive.
Can you replace a car key if I've lost all of them, here in Peterborough?
Yes. If you’ve lost every key to your vehicle, we can still create a new key from scratch using advanced diagnostic equipment that reads your car’s immobiliser data. This is a more involved process than cutting a spare from an existing key, but it’s a straightforward job for our team across Peterborough and the wider area. You can find more detail on our all keys lost service page.
I only have one key left — can I get a spare made in Peterborough?
Absolutely, and we’d strongly recommend it. Getting a spare cut and programmed while you still have a working key is quicker, simpler, and less expensive than replacing a key once it’s lost. We can create an additional key that works alongside your existing one without affecting it, wherever you are in Peterborough.
Do you replace car keys near me in Peterborough?
Yes. Keygrammer is based in Peterborough and covers the whole city, including the city centre, Hampton, Bretton, Werrington, Orton, Stanground, and Dogsthorpe, plus a 35 mile radius taking in Stamford, Spalding, March, Ely, Huntingdon, Whittlesey, Market Deeping, and Oundle. Call us and we’ll confirm your location and give you an estimated arrival time.
Can you replace smart keys and keyless entry fobs in Peterborough?
Yes. We replace and program smart keys, proximity keys, and keyless entry systems for all major manufacturers. Smart key replacement requires specialist programming equipment, which we carry on our mobile unit covering all of Peterborough. We test the key fully before leaving your location.
What information do I need when I call about car key replacement?
Have your vehicle make, model, year of manufacture, and registration number ready when you call. This lets us confirm we have the correct key blank and programming capability for your vehicle before we set off, which means we can usually complete the job in a single visit anywhere in Peterborough.
Is it cheaper to replace a car key through you than through a main dealer near Peterborough?
In most cases, yes. Main dealers often charge significantly more for key replacement and may require you to book days in advance or leave your vehicle at the dealership. Keygrammer comes to your location in Peterborough, gives you a price before starting any work, and completes most jobs the same day. Call us for a direct comparison on your specific vehicle.
