Car Key Duplication – Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Oxford drivers want to know before booking a spare key
Car key duplication in Oxford starts from £75 for a basic mechanical spare and typically falls between £120 – £250 for transponder keys and remote fobs. Keyless smart keys for premium German marques can reach £300 – £350. We always confirm the exact price before starting the job – no surprise call-out fees, no hourly billing tricks.
Most spare keys are cut and programmed in 20 – 45 minutes at your location. A simple metal blade copy takes around 10 minutes. Transponder cloning adds another 5 – 10 minutes. Smart key programming via diagnostic port can take 20 – 40 minutes depending on the vehicle’s security protocols.
No – we are a fully mobile auto locksmith service. Our van contains everything needed for on-site car key duplication: blank keys, cutting machines, transponder cloners and dealer-grade diagnostic equipment. We come to your house, your workplace, a supermarket car park or anywhere else in Oxford.
Yes. A properly cut and programmed duplicate is mechanically and electronically identical to your original. It will start the engine, lock and unlock the doors, operate the boot release and pair with the immobiliser. We test every key thoroughly in your vehicle before leaving so you drive away with full confidence.
Absolutely – provided you use a licensed and insured professional. Dave Oxford Locksmith is fully DBS checked and works to MLA-standard practices. We always verify ownership before cutting any key, which protects both you and us from fraud.
Modern keys are tiny computers. A typical smart key contains an immobiliser transponder, a rolling-code remote, sometimes a passive proximity antenna and a custom-cut blade. Manufacturers also encrypt programming protocols, requiring expensive diagnostic equipment. Even so, an auto locksmith is consistently cheaper than the main dealer.
Yes – every spare key we cut and programme comes with a 12-month workmanship warranty. If the chip fails or the cut is faulty through no fault of yours, we will repair or replace it free of charge.

What Oxford Drivers Say About Our Car Key Duplication
Real reviews from real customers across Oxfordshire
“Needed a spare key for my BMW 3 Series after the dealer quoted £450 and a two-week wait. Dave came to my office in Headington, cut and programmed it in half an hour for less than half that price. Brilliant.”
“Got a spare for the wife’s Ford Focus. Quick, polite, and the key works perfectly. Even cheaper than I expected. Will definitely call again next time we need anything car key related.”
“Fantastic service. Lost my only key on a walk near Port Meadow, Dave came out same evening and made me a fresh key from the VIN number. Absolute lifesaver.”
“Booked a duplicate key for my Audi A4. Spot-on time, professional manner, fair price and proper warranty. Way better experience than going to the main dealer.”
“I run a small fleet of vans in Banbury and Dave looks after all our spare keys. Fast, reliable, sends a proper VAT invoice every time. Couldn’t ask for more.”
“Smart key duplication for my Mercedes done at the school gates while I waited – kids didn’t even notice. Couldn’t believe how easy and how much I saved versus the dealer quote.”
