SEAT Car Key Replacement in Slough
Lost your only SEAT key or need a spare? We offer mobile SEAT car key replacement across Slough and nearby areas:
- New keys cut and programmed at your location
- Spare SEAT keys to avoid future lockouts
- Replacement for worn out or damaged keys and remotes
- Smart/proximity key replacement for push-to-start models
Compared with main dealers, our mobile service saves on towing and waiting times. For more detail on options, see our dedicated Car Key Replacement page.
Professional SEAT Key Programming
Modern SEATs require accurate programming to pair the key with your car’s immobiliser. We use dealer-level diagnostics to complete the job correctly:
- Transponder key programming and remote key programming
- Smart key programming for keyless entry and push-to-start
- OBD2 key programming for supported models
- EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming when required (for example, after all keys lost on specific SEAT platforms)
Put simply, a transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If that conversation fails, the engine won’t start. Our Car Key Programming service is designed to restore that secure link reliably.
SEAT Vehicle Unlocking Without Damage
Locked keys in your SEAT or the boot? We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, including specialist lock picks and air wedges designed for automotive use. We’ll always explain any rare exceptions before work begins—such as when a component has already failed and requires repair or replacement. Learn more about our careful methods on our Vehicle Unlocking page.

FAQs for SEAT Drivers
Can you make a SEAT car key without the original?
Yes. We can create and programme a new SEAT key without the original by using dealer-level diagnostics and, when required, EEPROM/immobiliser procedures. This is especially common after all keys are lost.
Will you need to tow my SEAT to a dealer?
No. Our mobile service comes to you across Slough and the SL postcode area. We carry the tools and diagnostics to cut and programme keys roadside, at home, or at work—saving time and towing costs.
Can you programme SEAT smart keys and proximity keys?
Yes, we offer smart key programming and proximity key replacement for modern SEAT models like the Leon and Tarraco. We securely pair new keys to the immobiliser using OBD2 or EEPROM methods depending on the system.
My SEAT key fob stopped working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes a battery change and re-synchronisation solves the issue. If the circuit board or transponder is faulty, we can provide key fob repair or supply and programme a replacement.
Will you damage my car during unlocking?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a rare exception is unavoidable due to a failed component, we’ll explain the options and costs before any work.
How long does SEAT key replacement take?
It depends on model and key type. Many replacements and spares can be completed during a single mobile visit. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you contact us with your vehicle details.
