Car Keys by Make, Most Vehicles on UK Roads
ADC Locksmith Liverpool cuts and programs car keys for 32 car makes at the vehicle across Liverpool and Merseyside, from transponder keys and remote fobs to smart keys. The make decides the blade, the chip and the programming route of a key. Replacement keys start from £120 with no call out fee and no VAT, and a spare key takes 20 to 40 minutes.
Thirty Two Makes With Their Own Key Systems
Car manufacturers handle keys, remotes, transponders and immobilisers differently, so each of the 32 makes below has a page with the models, the key types and the price range. Craig fixes the price of a key from the registration before travelling.

The lower figure of each range is a spare car key made while one key still works, and the upper figure is a key made with every key lost. A smart key or a keyless fob sits above the range of the same make, and a key fob repair from £25 often saves the price of a new key. Craig fixes the exact price from the registration before travelling, with no call out fee and no VAT.
Seven Car Key Types Used Across the Makes
A car key is the cut blade, the transponder chip and the remote that a car maker pairs to one vehicle. The key type of a car depends on the make, the model and the year. Every new car sold in the UK since October 1998 carries an immobiliser, so a new key of any make is cut and then programmed to the car.
- Blade key. A blade key is a cut metal key with a chip in the head and no buttons, as on an older Honda Jazz, Kia Picanto or Suzuki Jimny.
- Remote key. A remote key is a fixed blade with lock and unlock buttons in the head, as on a Toyota Aygo, a Citroën C1 or a Mitsubishi L200.
- Flip key. A flip key is a remote with a blade that folds into the case, as on a Ford Fiesta, a Vauxhall Corsa, a Peugeot 207 or a Fiat 500.
- Slot key. A slot key is a fob that pushes into the dashboard to start the car, as on a BMW 1 Series, a Volvo V40 or the Mercedes SmartKey.
- Key card. A key card is a flat card that starts the car from a reader, as on a Renault Clio, a Dacia Duster with a hands free card or a Tesla.
- Smart key. A smart key is a keyless fob that stays in a pocket while a button starts the car, such as the Mercedes Keyless Go fob or the Nissan Intelligent Key.
- Phone key. A phone key is a paired phone that unlocks and starts the car, as on a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.
Eight Make Groups That Share Key Systems
Makes inside one group use the same key technology, so one programming route covers the group.
- Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT and Cupra share Volkswagen Group platforms, and the platform of the car decides the programming route.
- Peugeot and Citroën share one programming route for flip keys and keyless fobs.
- Renault and Dacia share the key card and the hands free card.
- Hyundai and Kia share flip keys and push start smart keys across petrol, hybrid and electric models.
- Toyota and Lexus share smart key systems on hybrid models.
- BMW and MINI share key generations, checked from the registration.
- Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar share a security update from 2018 onwards that raises the price of a key above £1,000 on some cars.
- Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Jeep share a security gateway on newer models.
From Registration to Working Key, Any Make
A car key job for any make follows five steps, from the registration to a tested key at the vehicle.
- Send the registrationSend the registration, the make and the model on 07731 544220, by call or by text.
- Say which keys remainSay whether a working key remains, because a spare costs less than a key made with every key lost.
- Agree the full priceAgree the full price before Craig travels, with no call out fee and no VAT.
- Show proof of ownershipShow photo ID and the V5C or other proof of ownership at the car, the check that stops a stolen car getting a new key.
- Watch the key testedWatch the key cut, programmed and tested at the vehicle, in 20 to 40 minutes for a spare and 45 to 90 minutes with every key lost.
The same five steps apply to all eight auto locksmith services ADC runs across Liverpool, from a lockout to a spare key.
Authorised Key Access, Whatever the Car Make
Key programming on participating makes requires vetted access to protected immobiliser data, and SERMI approval provides that access to a formally qualified locksmith, whatever the badge on the car. The SERMI scheme opened for UK vehicles in April 2026, and Craig Evans, the mobile car key specialist behind ADC, holds the approval.
A replacement key for any car make never changes the registration document, because the V5C records the keeper and the vehicle and not the keys.
