Call Bridlington Keys on 07706 303038. We're a mobile key maker covering all of East Yorkshire — Bridlington, Filey, Scarborough, Driffield, Beverley, Hornsea, Flamborough and every town and village in between. We come to your home, workplace, or roadside location and cut or programme a new key on-site. Average response time is under 30 minutes within our core area.

A car key maker typically charges £99-£350 depending on the key type. Standard metal keys start from £99, transponder keys £120-£150, remote key fobs £150-£200, and smart/proximity keys £180-£350. Spare keys are 50% off when ordered with a replacement. We give a fixed price over the phone before we come out — no call-out fees within East Yorkshire.

Yes — a professional auto key maker can cut and programme a new car key using the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and proof of ownership. This is one of our most common services. We look up the manufacturer's key code, cut the blade, programme the transponder chip to the immobiliser, and sync any remote fob buttons — all on-site, usually within the hour.

For most cars a mobile key maker uses the same diagnostic equipment and OEM-quality key blanks as a main dealer. We programme keys directly to the vehicle via OBD or via the immobiliser module, with dealer-level tools. The main difference is price (40-60% cheaper) and convenience (we come to you). For very rare or high-security vehicles we may need to source specific blanks from a dealer, but for 95% of UK cars we handle everything on-site.

Most car key jobs are completed within 30-60 minutes from our arrival. Standard metal keys and transponder keys are quickest (often 20-30 minutes). Remote fobs and smart keys take 45-90 minutes because of the more complex programming. If you've lost all your keys and we need to look up the key code from the VIN, allow 45-60 minutes.

Yes — a legitimate key maker will require proof of ownership before cutting a new key. This is a security and legal requirement, not a sales barrier. Acceptable documents include your V5C logbook (the keeper document), a current driving licence matching the registered address, or photo ID plus a recent insurance or purchase document. This protects you against unauthorised key duplication.
