Car Keys by Make
Every make stores and checks its keys differently, so the right approach depends on the vehicle in front of you. Pick your make below to see what can typically be done — then call with the registration for a straight answer on your exact model and year.
Mobile service — keys cut and programmed at your vehicle in Eastleigh and nearby.
The differences between manufacturers matter more than most drivers expect. A key that takes twenty minutes on one vehicle can take an hour on another of the same age, purely because of the security system fitted. That is why each make has its own page rather than a single generic list — the key types, the common faults and the process for all-keys-lost situations all differ.

Other makes and models
The list above covers the makes most often asked for in Eastleigh, but it is not the full range. Vehicles from Citroën, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, SEAT, Škoda, Fiat, Honda, MINI, Land Rover, Volvo, Mazda, Mitsubishi and others are also worked on, along with light commercials and panel vans — see van keys for the commercial side.
For anything newer or more specialist, the quickest check is a phone call with the registration. That identifies the exact key system fitted and whether it can be handled at the roadside or needs dealer equipment.
