Most jobs fall within the prices shown above. A few situations can change the price, and we always confirm any difference with you before we begin.
Alarm active: If the alarm is active and cannot be pre-disabled, the extra work to safely disarm it through the OBD port increases the cost.
All keys lost vs spare: Programming a spare while you still have a working key is the quickest and lowest-cost option. All keys lost requires a full KVM or BCM security reset before new keys can be paired, which adds time and cost.
KVM / module issues: Most jobs need no module replacement. We diagnose with Pathfinder first and only recommend hardware work if it is genuinely required, quoted separately and agreed with you beforehand.
Key blade: A cut blade is not included by default. You will need to provide your existing key so we can cut a new blade to match it. If a blade is required, it is specified and quoted separately.
All keys disabled / lockout: Security lockouts from repeated failed attempts need a brief diagnostic call first, followed by a fixed individual quote.
Emergency / same-day: Urgent jobs within our standard coverage area are charged at the normal price.
Outside coverage area: Very remote or significantly out-of-hours call-outs may carry a supplement, always stated clearly upfront.
Land Rover Defender L663 (2019 to present): PASE proximity smart key. As the newest platform, its advanced security architecture takes more time and specialist equipment to program, placing it among our higher-cost jobs. All Defender 90, 110 and 130 variants covered.
Land Rover Discovery 5 L462 (2017 to present): Advanced KVM platform, with post-2018 security handled via Pathfinder. The newer encryption places it toward the higher end.
Land Rover Discovery 4 L319 (2010 to 2016): Hitag Pro smart key. An older, simpler security system, so it is quicker to program and sits at the lower end.
Land Rover Discovery Sport L550 (2014 to present): Pathfinder platform. Mid-range, depending on the year and exact security setup.
Land Rover Freelander 2 L359 (2006 to 2014): Older transponder system — the most straightforward to program, making it one of our faster, lower-cost Land Rover jobs. Contact us for a specific quote.
Land Rover dealers add multiple layers of cost to key replacement: service advisor margin, workshop booking lead time, and often a recovery charge if the car cannot be driven in. We remove all of that. Our technicians attend your location with all parts, programme the key on site and leave you with a working key the same day. We use the same diagnostic tools as the dealer. The outcome is identical. The cost is significantly lower. If you also need a Range Rover key replacement cost breakdown, or a quote for Jaguar key replacement, we cover those too.

Yes. Every key includes a 12-month parts and labour warranty at no extra cost.
The price is fixed at the quote stage. It only changes if a diagnostic reveals a hardware fault not disclosed initially, and even then we discuss it with you before proceeding.
The AA and RAC do not carry out JLR key programming. They would refer you to a specialist. We are that specialist, and we come to you directly. You can also compare our Range Rover key replacement costs or Jaguar key replacement prices on our dedicated pages.
