vs. KIA dealership
Kia key replacement requires understanding Korean vehicle technology, which these cars share with Hyundai. We help Kia owners across the UK who need keys programmed properly using correct diagnostic equipment.
Your Kia has immobiliser systems that deserve specialist attention rather than generic programming attempts. We’ve invested in Korean vehicle diagnostic equipment and trained our technicians specifically on these systems to ensure reliable results.
We operate a mobile service across South Wales, Bristol, Bath, and the South West. Most jobs are completed within an hour at your location – home, workplace, or roadside. No recovery needed, no dealership delays.
Kia dealerships charge £250-400+ and make you wait days for appointments. We deliver professional work at fraction of the cost, programming keys through proper channels without module removal or risky shortcuts.
From Picanto to Sorento, Sportage to EV6, we cover the complete Kia range professionally. That’s proper Kia key replacement with genuine expertise and accountability.

KIA Key Replacement FAQs
Do you use genuine KIA keys or aftermarket?
We use high-quality aftermarket keys that meet KIA specifications. All our keys come with our industry-leading 24-month warranty – double the dealer’s 12-month guarantee. Reliable, fully tested, and professional quality.
Do you test KIA key before leaving?
Yes, full testing—engine start, locking, unlocking. Everything works before we leave.
My KIA won’t start but key turns. Is this key-related?
Unlikely. If key turns freely, probably it’s not immobilizer issue. Could be starter or fuel system.
What’s included in KIA key replacement price?
Everything: callout, key cutting, programming, testing. Fixed price, no hidden fees or VAT.
My KIA key works intermittently. Should I replace now?
Intermittent issues often worsen. We can diagnose—might just need battery or cleaning.
My KIA is at garage. Can you go there?
Yes, we come to any location—home, work, garage, roadside. Wherever your KIA is.
Do you work on older KIA models from 2005-2010?
Absolutely. We have equipment for all KIA generations including older systems.
KIA dealership quoted expensive price for replacement key. Is that normal?
Yes, unfortunately. Dealership keys typically £200-400+ including programming and VAT. Our prices start from £120.
