vs. MG dealership
MG key replacement requires understanding modern SAIC security systems. We help MG owners across the UK who need keys programmed properly, whether that’s ZS, HS, MG4, or the electric variants.
Modern MGs have evolved security systems that generic locksmiths often struggle with. We’ve invested in diagnostic equipment specifically for MG vehicles because we understand these cars need specialist attention, not universal tablet guesswork.
Our mobile service covers South Wales and the South West. We arrive within 60-90 minutes and complete most jobs in under an hour at your location – home, workplace, or roadside. No recovery needed, no lengthy dealership waits.
MG dealerships charge £220-350+ and make you wait days. We deliver professional work at genuinely affordable rates, programming keys through the OBD port using proper protocols. No module removal, no risky shortcuts.
From ZS to MG4, ZS EV to Marvel R, we handle the complete modern MG range professionally. That’s proper MG key replacement with genuine expertise.

MG Key Replacement FAQs
Will my MG insurance be affected?
No. Our professional MG key replacement service doesn’t affect your insurance. We’re legitimate auto locksmiths providing a standard service that insurers recognize. Some insurance policies even cover key replacement – check your policy documents.
Can you come to me if I’m stranded?
Yes, our mobile MG key replacement service covers roadside callouts. If you’re stranded somewhere in our service area (South Wales, Bristol, Bath, South West), we’ll come to your location and get you back on the road quickly.
What if I’m not happy with the service?
Customer satisfaction is our priority. If you’re not completely happy with your MG key replacement, contact us immediately and we’ll make it right. All our work is covered by our 24-month warranty.
What happens to my old MG keys after replacement?
If you want old keys deleted from the system (because they’re lost), we can erase them during programming. If you have old working keys, they’ll continue to work alongside the new ones unless you specifically request deletion for security.
What information do you need when I call?
When you call for an MG key replacement quote, we’ll need your MG model, year of registration, and a description of your situation (lost all keys, need spare, broken key, etc.). Having your VIN handy is helpful but not essential for the initial quote.
Can you program used MG keys?
Used MG keys from other vehicles won’t work in your MG as they’re already coded to different immobiliser systems. We’d need to supply and program fresh keys specifically for your vehicle.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency MG key replacement. If you’re stranded without keys, call us and we’ll prioritize getting you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Can you upgrade my MG key to a newer style?
We supply the correct key type for your specific MG model. Different MG models use different key designs, and they’re not interchangeable. We’ll provide the appropriate key for your vehicle’s year and model.

⚠️ MG Programming Failure Rates
Facebook and eBay offers for MG keys at £120-150 use universal diagnostic tablets designed to work on every vehicle brand.MG Immobiliser Damage Rate: 40% with generic programming tools
While MG vehicles aren’t as complex as German luxury cars, they still suffer substantial damage from universal tablet programming. Tools like Autel, Obdstar, XTool, Lansdon and similar are marketed as working on “all vehicles,” but this broad compatibility means they use standardised sequences rather than manufacturer-specific protocols.
Main dealer immobiliser repair: £1040-£1950
Our 18-Month Data:
• 3+ vehicles repaired after universal tablet attempts
• Average customer loss: £1300
Why Universal Tools Fail: Generic tablets are designed to service hundreds of vehicle brands – European, Japanese, American, everything. This “jack of all trades” approach works adequately on some vehicles but causes significant failure rates on others. Manufacturer-appropriate diagnostic equipment reduces risk to under 5% because it uses proper protocols rather than standardised sequences.
We cover all repair costs if issues occur with our professional service (they rarely do with proper equipment).
The Pattern: Amateur with generic diagnostic tablet attempts programming, encounters errors, promises to return with “updated software,” then disappears. Your MG won’t start and requires dealer repair.
