Why Choose AH Auto Keys?
“I started AH Auto Keys after years buying and selling used cars across South Yorkshire. Every time one of my cars needed a new key, I struggled to find anyone reliable — so I trained myself, invested in professional equipment, and built the service I wished existed.”
Aaron covers a 15-mile radius from Barnsley — reaching Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham (South Yorkshire) and Wakefield, Pontefract (West Yorkshire). He works alone, so when you call, you always speak directly to Aaron.

Dealer-Level Equipment
Aaron uses the same professional key programming equipment as main dealers — on site, for nearly every make on the road.

All-makes key programmer and diagnostic tool. Used for key coding, IMMO bypass and all-keys-lost jobs on Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Kia and most mainstream makes.

Specialist programming tool strong on BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover and Jaguar. Handles complex CAS module and EIS/ESL programming that most tools cannot reach.

Transponder key generation, remote programming and key copying. Covers the full VW group plus Toyota, Honda, Nissan and many more makes.

Bench programmer for encrypted modules — BMW CAS, Volvo, Renault encrypted modules and van BCM2 programming where other tools stop.
Not a single competitor in South & West Yorkshire lists their equipment by name. Aaron does — because he actually has it.

Very grateful for AH Autokeys work. He did a fantastic job for me. I locked my car and house keys in my car boot at gone 11pm at night when I was out alone, I had 6% phone battery, called the first person I found on Google, only to find out he wasn’t local. Despite this though, he still agreed to drive out 50mins to help. The car was unlocked door in no time but the boot wasn’t accessible from the inside and the car was too old to be opened electronically. He spent a long time trying to unlock the car boot. After a while, I was worried he might give up and say it can’t be done. He persevered though and finally managed to retrieve my keys. If I’d called somebody else, maybe they’d have given up on it so I’m really grateful that he stuck with it for me! I hope I never have to use the service again, but if I find myself in this boat in the future, this will be the first place I call. I can’t recommend enough. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()
