NO WORKING KEY SITUATION (LOST OR BROKEN KEYS)

Before replacing your key, it is company policy to ask customer’s to accept the following disclaimer:

  1. I confirm that I am either the owner of the vehicle, or have the owner’s permission to carry out this work.

  2. I understand that on a lost/broken key situation (where no working key is available), Car and Van Key Services Limited are unable to carry out a pre-work assessment, which determines any pre-existing or underlying faults with the vehicle. Once the new key/s are programmed in, I understand that Car and Van Key Services Limited are not responsible for any faults (e.g. dashboard fault lights).

  3. I understand that any keys not available at the time of programming (including lost keys that maybe found later) will not work due to a safety feature of the software, and that any future visits to re-programme keys back in are chargeable (where this is a possibility). Any rebooking to take place in our coverage area only, during our normal working hours, subject to availability. Please ask for a quotation.

  4. If claiming the money back via your insurance company, we can supply a sales receipt, however, we do not get involved with the terms and conditions of your policy. Policy criteria would be between the customer and the insurer only. Please check the terms of your insurance company before instructing work from us.

Please see details of your key warranty further in this document.
