- Lost or stolen SEAT keys: No spare, no problem. We can cut and program a new key at your location and can erase old keys from the immobiliser for security.
- Locked out of your SEAT: Keys locked in the boot or cabin? We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to open the vehicle without damage.
- Broken or snapped key: If your SEAT key has snapped in the door or ignition, we can extract the blade carefully and provide a replacement.

SEAT Car Key Replacement And Programming
Modern SEAT vehicles use immobiliser systems that require accurate coding to the car’s ECU and dash. We offer:
- SEAT car key replacement: Standard, remote, flip, and smart/proximity keys cut and programmed on the roadside.
- Transponder key programming: We pair new keys to your immobiliser using OBD2 diagnostics and, where needed, EEPROM techniques for certain models and years.
- Smart key programming: For keyless entry and push-to-start SEATs, we program proximity keys and sync remote locking functions.
- Key fob repair and refurbishment: Button replacements, case swaps, and resoldering of common faults to extend the life of your existing key.
- Key blade and flip mechanism repairs: Fix wobbly hinges, broken blades, or stuck flip actions.

How Our SEAT Auto Locksmith Service Works
-
Quick assessment
Call us or send details of your SEAT (model, year, fuel type, and whether you have any working keys). We’ll advise on the best solution and provide a free, no-obligation quote. -
Mobile dispatch
We come to you anywhere in Uxbridge and the UB postcode area. Our vans are fully equipped with diagnostic tools (dealer-level scanners, OBD2 interfaces), high-accuracy cutting machines (including laser cut key capability), and a stock of SEAT-compatible remotes and blades. -
Non-destructive entry where possible
If you’re locked out, we use professional lock-picking and air-wedge techniques to open your SEAT without damage in the vast majority of cases. In rare instances where minor drilling or component removal is the only safe option, we’ll explain this clearly and get your approval before proceeding. -
Cut and code
We cut your new SEAT key using code or by decoding the lock. We then program the transponder and remote functions to your immobiliser/BCM. For selected models and immobiliser generations, we can perform EEPROM-level programming when standard OBD2 programming is insufficient. -
Test and handover
We test starting, remote locking/unlocking, and any boot/tailgate functions. You leave with a working key and clear guidance on care, plus our workmanship guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a SEAT key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key for your SEAT without the original. We decode the lock or use key code data, then program the transponder to the immobiliser using OBD2 or EEPROM methods as required. This is often quicker and more affordable than a dealer.
My SEAT key fob stopped working after a battery change — can you fix it?
Yes. Sometimes the remote loses synchronisation or the battery contacts are damaged. We provide key fob repair, re-synchronisation, and, if necessary, replacement and coding. See our advice under key fob not working.
Will you damage my SEAT when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Our tools and techniques allow us to open most SEATs without damage. In rare cases where drilling or component removal is the only safe solution, we’ll explain the reason and get your agreement before any work.
Do you program SEAT proximity and push-to-start keys?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming and keyless entry systems for modern SEAT models, adapting new proximity keys and ensuring the push-to-start works reliably.
How long does it take to get a new SEAT key?
In many cases, we complete SEAT key cutting and programming during a single mobile visit. Timings vary with model, key type (remote, flip, smart), and whether EEPROM work is required. We’ll give a clear time estimate when you contact us.
Is it safer to call a locksmith or go to the dealer for SEAT keys?
A trusted local auto locksmith is often faster and more convenient, especially if you’re locked out or have no working key. We come to you, program on the spot, and can delete lost keys from the system. For an overview of value, see our auto locksmith prices in Uxbridge.
