Car Key Repair – Mobile, All Make

Got a broken, snapped, or worn car key? Call 07777 676261 or message us on WhatsApp. We repair car keys at your location for all makes — usually within 30 minutes of arriving.

A damaged car key rarely fails at a convenient moment. A blade snaps in the lock, the key wears down until it won't turn, or the casing cracks and the buttons stop working. Royale Car Keys repairs car keys on-site across London, Kent, Essex, Surrey, and Sussex — often saving you the cost of a brand-new key. We come to you, fix the key at the roadside or on your driveway, and make sure it works properly before we leave, 24 hours a day.

Car Key Faults We Repair

We handle the full range of physical and mechanical key problems:

• Snapped or broken keys — including a key that's broken off in the lock or ignition.
• Worn keys that won't turn — when years of use have rounded off the blade.
• Cracked or damaged casings — re-housing the internal components in a new shell.
• Bent keys — straightened or recut so they work smoothly again.
• Worn or recut blades — restoring a key that's become unreliable in the lock.

We work on all major manufacturers, including Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Renault, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai, plus many more.

Repair or Replace? We'll Tell You Honestly

Not every damaged key is worth repairing — and not every key needs replacing. Where a repair is the sensible, cheaper option, that's what we'll recommend. Where the key is too far gone, we'll cut and program a new one instead, and explain why. Either way, we confirm the price before we start, so you're never caught out. If your fob buttons or electronics are the issue rather than the physical key, see our key fob repair and replacement service.

How It Works

1. Call us. Tell us your make, model, and what's wrong with the key. We give you a price before we set off — no surprises.
2. We come to you. A mobile technician arrives, usually within 30 minutes, with the tools and parts needed on-site.
3. We repair the key. We fix the fault — or, if a repair isn't viable, cut and program a replacement there and then.
4. You're sorted. Pay on completion by card, cash, or bank transfer. Any new key is covered by our 2-year warranty.

Key Broken in the Ignition?

If your key has snapped off in the ignition — or the ignition itself feels stiff, sticks, or won't turn — the problem may be the ignition barrel rather than the key. We diagnose and repair both at your location. Our guide explains what's involved: Car Ignition Barrel Repair: A Complete Guide.

How Much Does It Cost?

Car key repair starts from £50, with the exact price depending on the key and the fault — a simple recut is at the lower end, while re-housing electronics or extracting a snapped key costs more. If a repair isn't viable and you need a new key, replacement keys start from £79. We confirm the full price, including call-out and labour, before we begin. See our pricing page for more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to repair a car key?
Car key repair starts from £50, depending on the key and the fault. A simple recut is cheaper; re-housing electronics or extracting a broken key costs more. We confirm the full price, including call-out and labour, before we start.

My key snapped off in the lock or ignition — can you help?
Yes. We extract broken keys from locks and ignitions at your location, then repair or replace the key as needed. If the ignition itself is faulty, we can diagnose and repair that too.

Is repairing a key cheaper than replacing it?
Often, yes — which is why we always check whether a repair is viable first. If the key is too damaged to repair reliably, we'll explain why a replacement is the better option.

Can you repair the key on the spot?
Most key repairs are completed in 30 to 60 minutes on-site. If a part needs ordering for an unusual key, we'll tell you when you call.

Do I need to bring my car to you?
No. We're fully mobile and come to you — at home, at work, or at the roadside. We don't tow your vehicle.

Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including bank holidays.
