Call out fees

When providing a new key for a vehicle, if the technician deems the current key to be in full working order and any issues arising are due to a vehicle fault there is an applicable call out charge of £48 including VAT.

Non-runner / Lost keys Disclaimer
If the vehicle you require us to carry work on does not have any working keys, we categorise this as a ‘non-runner’. This term means that we have not witnessed the vehicle in a working or ‘running’ state before commencing work.

We cannot guarantee that a new key will program in to a non-running vehicle or that it will start the car even if it does successfully program. There can be many reasons for this, including but not limited to:

• The vehicle having been stood stationary for a period of time

• The vehicle being purchased from an auction with no working keys

• Unknown vehicle history which may include the changing of parts vital to the vehicle’s security

In these instances, the technician will carry out checks on the vehicle and document any damages or concerns he may have, present his findings to you and obtain your permission before beginning work.

Full payment will be required once the technician has handed you a coded key.

If any issues do arise, we expect you as the customer to speak to your local dealership to have the vehicle faults resolved. If the work is not of the standard you expect, or you have been led to believe the faults are a direct cause of the work completed by us, we will then need a detailed report from the dealership so that we can conduct a full investigation.

In cases where a special-order key is required, full payment will need to be taken in advance which will act as your deposit. This is a non-refundable option as the key will be ordered directly from the dealer specifically to your vehicle.

When no keys are present at all you will need to provide supporting documents to the technician including your driving license and V5 document for the vehicle. The names and addresses must match on both documents. Under extenuating circumstances, the office may accept alternative documents at their own discretion, but in such circumstances the office reserves the right for the technician to photograph the documents.

In some cases where a special-order key is required the office may request the above documents via email before the key can be ordered. This is at the request of the dealership and not 3D Autokeys
