  • No spare key and the car is stuck at home, work, or a station car park

  • Key blade snapped in the door lock or ignition
  • Folding/flip key casing cracked and the blade is loose

Dacia Models We Cover

We work with most Dacia models on UK roads, including:

• Dacia Sandero and Sandero Stepway
• Dacia Duster (all generations, including newer 2023–2024 models)
• Dacia Logan and Logan MCV
• Dacia Jogger

If you drive another Dacia model or an older import, we can usually still help. Our diagnostic equipment is constantly updated to support the latest immobiliser and key systems.

Dacia Car Key Replacement and Spare Keys

Losing a Dacia key or key card can feel stressful, but you do not need to go straight to a dealer. Our Dacia car key replacement service in East London offers:

• New keys and key cards cut and programmed on-site
• Spare Dacia car keys so you are not left with a single key again
• Replacement for both standard keys and Dacia key cards
• Options to repair or replace damaged keys where cost-effective

We use specialist key-cutting machines, laser cutting for high-security blades where required, and dealer-level programming tools for transponder key programming and key card pairing.

If you simply need a backup key, our car key cutting and duplication service is often quicker and more affordable than visiting a main dealer, and we come to you at home or work.

For more about replacing keys across different makes, see our main Car Key Replacement page.

Dacia Key Programming and Key Card Programming

Modern Dacia keys and key cards communicate with your vehicle’s ECU and immobiliser. If this link fails, the car may not unlock or start.

Our Dacia key programming services in East London include:

• Transponder key programming for standard Dacia keys
• Key card programming for Duster, Sandero, Logan and other models
• Remote key programming when buttons stop working
• Pairing new keys with the immobiliser using OBD2 key programming
• Advanced work on some models using EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming

Typical situations where you might need programming:

• Your Dacia key card has stopped being recognised
• You have bought a new remote key online that needs pairing
• The vehicle shows an immobiliser/key symbol on the dash
• Keys were lost or stolen and you want old keys securely removed from the system

Our technicians use dealer-level diagnostic tools and follow manufacturer-style procedures, providing a professional alternative to the dealership with the convenience of a mobile auto locksmith.

Dacia Auto Locksmith FAQs

Can you make a new Dacia key if I have lost all keys?

Yes. In most cases, we can create a new Dacia key or key card without the original, using your vehicle’s VIN and immobiliser data. We access the car using non-destructive methods where possible, then program a new key or key card with our diagnostic tools. This avoids the need to tow the car to a dealer.

Do you need my Dacia security code or card?

It helps if you have the original Dacia key code card or paperwork, but it is not essential. We can usually obtain the necessary security information via specialist tools and databases, or read it directly from the vehicle’s immobiliser system using OBD2 or EEPROM techniques where appropriate.

Will you damage my Dacia when unlocking it?

Our priority is non-destructive entry. We use professional lock-picking tools, air wedges, and specialist methods designed to protect your paintwork, glass, and locks. Only in rare cases where the lock is damaged, faulty, or heavily modified might we need to drill or replace a component – and we always explain this clearly before proceeding.

How long does it take to get a new Dacia key or key card?

Most Dacia key or key card jobs can be completed in a single visit, usually within one appointment slot once we arrive with the correct parts. The exact time depends on the model, year, and whether there are additional issues (such as immobiliser faults or lock damage), but many customers are back on the road the same day.

Is it cheaper to use you instead of a Dacia dealer?

For many East London drivers, yes. As a local auto locksmith, we usually provide a more affordable and much more convenient service than a main dealer, especially when the car cannot be driven. There is no towing cost, waiting for a workshop slot, or long delays; we come to you and cut/program keys on-site.

Can you delete old lost or stolen Dacia keys from the system?

On most modern Dacia models, yes. As part of a stolen car key replacement service, we can program new keys and remove the lost or stolen ones from the immobiliser memory, reducing the risk that someone could later use them to access or start your vehicle.

Not Sure Exactly What You Need?

If you are unsure whether you need Dacia key replacement, key card programming, lock repair, or a full diagnostic check, we can talk through your symptoms and advise you clearly.

We are always happy to explain things in plain English – from what a transponder chip is to why your Dacia is showing a key warning light on the dashboard – so you can make an informed decision.
