BY MAKE

Car Key Replacement by Make in Worthing

Every make has its own key, its own blade and its own way of letting a new key in. That is why the first question on any call is the make, model and year. Most makes share their key systems with others in the same manufacturer group, so this page groups them that way.

The job itself is the same for every make, a key cut to your locks and programmed to your immobiliser, which is explained in full on the car key replacement page.

Makes With Their Own Page

Some makes have a page of their own. BMW key replacement and Vauxhall key replacement are live now, and the other makes follow over the coming weeks.

Makes at a Glance, Blade and Key System

The blade and the key system decide how a key is made for each make. The exact one depends on the model and year, and is confirmed from the registration.

GERMAN MAKES

German Makes

German cars carry some of the most advanced key systems on the road, and some of the most expensive keys.

BMW

Four generations of immobiliser, EWS, CAS, FEM and BDC, each with its own route. The full guide is BMW key replacement in Worthing.

Mercedes

Older models are routine. Some newer keyless Mercedes can only take a key coded by the maker, and that is checked before a van is sent. The full guide is Mercedes key replacement in Worthing.

Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat

The Volkswagen Group shares the HU66 blade and its key systems across all four brands, so one set of equipment covers a Golf, an A3, an Octavia and a Leon. Newer cars often need an online login to the maker before a key can be added. The Audi guide is Audi key replacement in Worthing, the Volkswagen guide is Volkswagen key replacement in Worthing, the Skoda guide is Skoda key replacement in Worthing, and the Seat guide is Seat key replacement in Worthing.

BRITISH AND AMERICAN MAKES

British and American Makes

The makes most common on Worthing driveways.

Ford

From the Fiesta and Focus to the Kuga and Puma, most Fords use the HU101 blade, with keyless keys on newer trims. The full guide is Ford key replacement in Worthing.

Vauxhall

The HU100 flip key on the Astra and Corsa, and the Stellantis HU83 key on the Corsa F and Mokka B. The full guide is Vauxhall key replacement in Worthing.

Land Rover

Range Rover, Discovery and Defender keys are mostly keyless, and among the most valuable keys to protect from relay theft. The full guide is Land Rover key replacement in Worthing.

FRENCH MAKES

French Makes

French makes use some of the most distinctive keys, from flip keys to key cards.

Peugeot and Citroen

Newer models share the Stellantis HU83 blade and Hitag AES chip with Vauxhall, so a 208 and a C3 are handled the same way as a Corsa F. The Peugeot guide is Peugeot key replacement in Worthing, and the Citroen guide is Citroen key replacement in Worthing.

Renault

Many Renaults use a key card rather than a key, with a small emergency blade inside. The card is programmed through the diagnostic port. The Renault guide is Renault key replacement in Worthing.

JAPANESE AND KOREAN MAKES

Japanese and Korean Makes, and Volvo

Reliable cars, but their smart keys have their own routines.

Toyota

The Yaris, Aygo, Corolla and C-HR use G chip, H chip or smart keys, and some Toyota smart keys need a longer security routine before a key can be added. The full guide is Toyota key replacement in Worthing.

Nissan and Honda

The Qashqai, Juke and Jazz are covered, including the Nissan Intelligent Key on keyless models. The Nissan guide is Nissan key replacement in Worthing, and the Honda guide is Honda key replacement in Worthing.

Kia and Hyundai

The two brands share their key systems, so a Sportage and a Tucson are handled the same way. The Kia guide is Kia key replacement in Worthing, and the Hyundai guide is Hyundai key replacement in Worthing.

Volvo

Older Volvos use a blade key and newer ones keyless keys, both covered at the car. The full guide is Volvo key replacement in Worthing.

VANS

Van Makes

Vans are covered as well as cars, because a van off the road costs a working day. The Ford Transit and Transit Custom, Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic and Citroen Berlingo are the vans asked for most. Van keys are covered under van key replacement.

WHY THE MAKE MATTERS

Why the Make Changes the Key Job

Three things change from make to make, and each one changes the time and the price.

The Blade

Each maker uses its own blade profiles. A laser cut blade takes longer to cut than an edge cut one, which is explained under car key cutting.

The Chip

The chip family inside the key decides the programming routine, which is the core of transponder key programming.

Online Security

Many newer cars need an online login to the maker before a key can be added, and a few can only be done by the dealer.

WHAT IT COSTS

What a Car Key Costs by Make

The make is one of the biggest things that moves the price. These are typical UK figures for 2026.

Make or modelTypical price
Budget models such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa£100 to £300
Mid range Toyota£200 to £450
Premium models such as BMW and Land Rover£400 to £1,000 or more
Honda Civic remote key£225
Ford Fiesta remote key£275
Nissan Qashqai remote key£290
Toyota Yaris remote key£390
Range Rover Sport remote key£595

The price for your car is agreed in writing on the call, once the make, model and year are known.

DEALER ONLY

When the Dealer Is the Only Option

For almost every car, a key can be made at the car for less than a dealer charges. A small number of the newest cars, mostly premium keyless models, only accept a key coded by the maker. When that is the case, you are told on the call, before anyone sets off, so you never pay for a visit that cannot finish.

If you have lost every key, the make also decides how the new key is built, which is covered under lost car keys.

FAQS

Questions About Car Makes and Keys

The questions asked most about makes and models, from which makes are covered to why the make changes the price.

Eighteen car makes and the common vans, from Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen to BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, Kia and Renault. Give the make, model and year on the call and it is confirmed.

The newest premium and keyless cars. Some need an online login to the maker, and a few can only take a key from the dealer. That is checked on the call.

Yes. Budget models run £100 to £300, a mid range Toyota £200 to £450, and premium models such as BMW and Land Rover £400 to £1,000 or more.

On most makes, yes. The key is cut to code and programmed from the car, and the lost key removed.

Similar ones. They share the HU66 blade and the same group key systems, which is why the same equipment covers all four.

On newer models, very close. Since the Stellantis merger they share the HU83 blade and Hitag AES chip.

Ask anyway. The list shows the makes asked for most, not everything covered. The registration is enough to check.

Rarely, but it is worth asking. For the few cars that need a maker coded key, the dealer is the only option, and you are told so.
