AJ Auto tip: Avoid quotes that don’t include programming. A blank cut Land Rover key without programming is useless — it won’t start the car. Always ask ‘is this the all-in price including programming and a working key handed back?’
What’s Included in Specialist Pricing
- Genuine or quality OEM-equivalent key blank

- Programming via OBD diagnostic
- Mobile service to your location
- 12-month warranty on the key
What’s NOT Included (and What Costs Extra)
- All keys lost (AKL): +£100-£250 — when you have no working keys, additional security procedures are needed

- Out-of-hours emergency: +£50-£100 evening/weekend
Why Specialists Are Cheaper Than the Dealer
Main dealers charge for: a recovery truck to flatbed your car in (£200+), workshop time at £150/hr, dealer-network markup on parts, and ‘standard’ programming time of 2 hours. A specialist comes to you, knows JLR systems inside-out, and does the same job in 30-60 minutes.
