Key Cutting Grimsby | Lost Key Replacement & Transponder Programming

Laser-cut and transponder keys cloned and programmed to OEM tolerances — all makes, dealer-level results.

Lost your car keys or need a spare? Aleco Car Co offers professional key cutting and programming from our Armstrong Street workshop in Grimsby. We cut laser and transponder keys to OEM biting tolerances and program them directly to your vehicle's immobiliser system — no main dealership required.

Lost Key Recovery

Being locked out or losing your only key is stressful. Our mobile and workshop-based service can cut and program a replacement key to your vehicle even when all keys have been lost, using dealer-level tools to read the immobiliser and code a new transponder.

Spare Key Cloning

Having a spare key can save you hundreds in recovery and replacement costs. We clone your existing transponder key, including remote locking functions, so your spare works exactly like the original.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a key if I've lost all of them?

Yes. Our dealer-level tools allow us to read your vehicle's immobiliser and code a completely new key, even with no existing key present. You'll need your V5 logbook for identification.

How long does key cutting take?

A standard spare key takes around 20–30 minutes. All-keys-lost recovery can take 1–2 hours depending on the vehicle and immobiliser system.

Will the new key work with my remote locking?

Yes — we clone or program the remote locking function so your new key operates central locking, boot release, and alarm exactly like the original.
