🔑 Spare Key Sorted – 2010 Skoda Yeti

This customer only had one key for his 2010 Skoda Yeti and didn’t want to risk the hassle and extra cost of losing his only key.

He was working with a smaller budget, so instead of a full remote key, we supplied and programmed a manual spare key — a more affordable option that still gives him that important backup.

✅ Manual spare key supplied
✅ Key cut to the vehicle
✅ Programmed and tested
✅ Cost-effective solution
✅ Peace of mind if the main key is lost

Not every spare key needs to be an expensive remote. We can offer different options depending on your vehicle and budget.

🔑 Volvo XC90 2010 – Spare Key & Starting Issue
Customer got in touch looking for a second key for their 2010 Volvo XC90, as the original key had started playing up when trying to start the vehicle.
They wanted to find out whether the issue was with the original key or the vehicle’s immobiliser system.
We supplied and programmed a new spare key and tested it with the vehicle. This also allowed us to confirm whether the starting issue was related to the original key.
Having a working spare means the customer is now covered if the original key fails completely.

Vehicle Lockout – 2022 Škoda
Called out to a 2022 Škoda after the customer accidentally left their keyless-entry key inside the car, only for the vehicle to lock with the key still inside.
We gained entry to the vehicle and then tested the key, where we found a simple but surprisingly common issue.
The key battery had recently been replaced, but the protective sticker had been left on the new battery, preventing it from making proper contact and supplying full power to the remote.
Sticker removed, battery refitted and the key was tested and working correctly again.
A small mistake that can easily leave you locked out!

🔑 Peugeot 308 (2023) – Spare OEM Proximity Key & Original Key Repair
A customer contacted us needing a spare key for their 2023 Peugeot 308. They also mentioned that their original proximity key would only start the car when placed in the emergency key position, with the hands-free function no longer working.
After diagnosing the fault, we programmed a genuine OEM spare proximity key and repaired the original key. We then reprogrammed and tested both keys.
Both proximity remotes are now working perfectly, with full keyless entry and push-button start restored. Another happy customer back on the road! 🚗
