Our Specialist Mini Services
Mini Key Replacement
Losing your Mini key can be a significant inconvenience. We specialise in providing high-quality replacement keys, even if you have no existing key. Our keys are sourced from reputable suppliers and are identical in quality and function to those provided by a main dealer, but without the lengthy wait times or inflated costs. This includes standard remote fobs, flip keys, and advanced smart keys for keyless entry and start systems.
Mini Key Programming
Modern Mini vehicles utilise sophisticated immobiliser systems that require precise programming. Our advanced diagnostic equipment allows us to securely communicate with your Mini’s CAS (Car Access System) or FEM/BDC module to program new keys. Crucially, if your keys have been lost or stolen, we can delete the old keys from your vehicle’s memory, rendering them useless and enhancing your vehicle’s security.
Emergency Mini Unlocking
Accidentally locked your keys inside your Mini? Don’t resort to damaging your vehicle. Our technicians use specialised, non-destructive entry tools to safely and efficiently unlock your Mini without causing any damage to the locks, windows, or paintwork. We can usually gain entry within minutes, allowing you to retrieve your keys and continue your journey.
Mini Key Fob Repair & Battery Replacement
Many common issues with Mini keys, such as unresponsive buttons or intermittent functionality, can often be resolved with a simple repair or battery replacement. We can diagnose the problem, replace worn-out cases, repair internal components, or fit a new, high-quality battery, saving you the expense of a full key replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions for Mini Owners
Q: I’ve lost my only Mini Cooper key. Can you still make a new one?
A: Yes, absolutely. This is a common scenario we handle. We can generate a new key and program it to your Mini Cooper even if you have no working key at all. We’ll also ensure any lost keys are removed from the car’s system for your security.
Q: My Mini Clubman smart key isn’t being detected. Can you fix it?
A: Often, this is due to a low or dead battery in the smart key. We can test the battery and replace it if needed. If the issue persists, we can diagnose and reprogram the key to ensure it communicates correctly with your Mini Clubman.
Q: How long does it take to get a new Mini key from you?
A: In most cases, we can cut and program a new Mini key quickly after arriving at your location. This is a significant time saving compared to waiting days or weeks for a dealer appointment.
