What Information Is Needed for a Replacement Key Quote?
Registration, make, model, approximate year, whether any working key remains, and the vehicle's location. With those, the key type, cutting method and programming route can normally be established before anyone travels.
Why the registration matters most
Two cars of the same model and year can leave the factory with different key systems depending on trim and build date. The registration resolves that, where a description alone would not.
Proof of ownership
Expect to be asked for identification and something linking you to the vehicle, such as the V5C or an insurance document. Any locksmith who does not ask is one to be wary of.
