Service definition

Spare Car Keys Prevent Costlier Emergencies

A spare car key is an additional authorised key created while at least one working key remains available. This definition applies to supported vehicles across South Yorkshire.

A spare key is planned work rather than an all keys lost recovery. Aaron identifies the correct key type, cuts the blade where required and programs the electronic part to the vehicle when necessary.

The physical blade is created through the car key cutting service where cutting is required.

AH Auto Keys applies this service definition consistently across South Yorkshire so close service states remain on their correct pages.

Service outcome

Two usable authorised keys

The intended outcome is an additional supported key that has been cut, programmed and tested so the customer is not left with only one working key.

Spare car key pricing depends mainly on whether the spare is non remote or remote and on the vehicle security system. These starting rates are used across the published South Yorkshire service radius.

How the service works

Spare Car Keys Follow Five Simple Steps

Spare car keys are created from a known working vehicle state, which keeps the process separate from an all keys lost recovery. Aaron uses this process for supported mobile jobs across South Yorkshire.

1

Confirm the vehicle

Aaron checks the registration, make, model and year.

2

Check the working key

The existing key and the required spare type are confirmed.

3

Select the correct blank

The correct mechanical and electronic key type is prepared.

4

Cut and program the spare

The blade is cut and the new key is programmed where required.

5

Test both working keys

The original and new spare are tested before completion.

Before Aaron travels

Have These Vehicle Details Ready

Have the make, model, year, registration and your exact South Yorkshire location ready. For security sensitive key work Aaron also needs reasonable proof that you are entitled to request work on the vehicle.

Official keeper document information is available from GOV.UK V5C guidance.
