A lost key to a modern car is not a simple copy job — the transponder must be coded to the vehicle with specialist equipment. At RedHat Garage in Sugiez we produce and code keys for most makes and models, no towing to the dealer needed. Even if the last key is gone — message us on WhatsApp, a photo of the key or the registration document is enough and we'll help.

Yes, at the RedHat Garage in Sugiez, we produce and code keys for most makes and models. A modern car key contains a transponder that must be coded to your vehicle with special equipment for the immobiliser to recognise it. This provides you with a fully functional replacement key, often avoiding the need to have your vehicle towed to the main dealer.
Yes, we can code vehicle keys. Whether we can code other control units depends on your specific vehicle and the component.

Yes, we can help you even if you have lost your last key. We can create and code a new key for your vehicle at our workshop in Sugiez, provided this is possible for your specific model. This often saves you the hassle of towing your car to a brand dealer. Please contact us in writing with your vehicle details via WhatsApp or our form to confirm feasibility and discuss the next steps.
Yes, the vehicle must be present at our workshop to code a new key. The coding process requires a direct connection between our specialised equipment and the vehicle's electronics to correctly register the transponder in the key. This is the only way we can ensure the new key communicates perfectly with your car's immobiliser and central locking system.
