Factors affecting key prices
Sometimes, there is variation in prices even within a make and model, year of registration and the functionality of the key.
Why do car keys cost so much?
People don’t lose their car keys that often so it’s always a shock when for one reason or another they have to replace them. There are various factors that make car keys so expensive.
They usually contain sophisticated hardware such as a PCB, transponder chip and battery. The blank key alone can be an expensive purchase for the dealer or the locksmith and then there is the cutting of the key using sophisticated cutting machines which are extremely expensive to buy and then maintain.
But let’s not stop there. Programming tools for coding a new key can cost thousands of pounds for the initial purchase with ongoing licensing costs and new software installations. Add in the labour costs and you soon see why the cost is so high.
