Why a cut key won’t start the car

Most modern car keys have a transponder chip in the head. The car reads that chip before it lets the engine start. A key with the right blade but the wrong chip will turn in the ignition and do nothing else.

So a new car key is two jobs. We cut the blade, then program the chip to your car. If the key has buttons, we program the remote too.

A spare is easier if you still have one working key. We copy the blade and add the new chip to the car.

Two things to tell us when you call

  • The make, model and year of the car
  • Whether you still have a key that starts it

Programming time depends on the make and model, so you may need to book. Ring first and we’ll tell you how long it takes for your car.

Holden Commodore keys

We supply keys for these Holden Commodores. For the VE and VF you need to bring a key that still starts the car.
