Citroën key replacementmobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I need a new key for my car” — that is the call we take on Citroëns most days. A replacement key is created and paired to your vehicle at the roadside or on your driveway. Where the key has a blade it is cut to your locks; where it is a proximity fob the work is entirely electronic. The vehicle never leaves you.
How Citroën keys work
Citroën shares the PSA key platform with Peugeot and DS: flip keys on C1, C3 and C4 and proximity keys on newer trims, with Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay vans mostly on flip keys.
Berlingo and Dispatch are frequently fleet vehicles where a spare key per van prevents a very expensive lost day later.
What this job includes
- Key supplied, cut where applicable and programmed to the vehicle
- Tested on locks, ignition or start button before we leave
- Old keys can be deleted so a lost key can no longer start the car
- Photo ID and proof of ownership checked before any work

How long a Citroën key replacement takes
A straight replacement sits between a spare and an all-keys-lost job. If you still hold a working key it is quick; if the lost key was your only one, it becomes the all-keys-lost route below and takes longer.
What decides the price
Price is driven by the key type (Citroën bladed remote versus proximity fob), the model year, and whether a working key still exists. That is why we ask for the registration before quoting rather than after arriving.
Citroën key replacement FAQs
- Will my old Citroën key still work after a replacement?
- Only if you want it to. If a key has been lost or stolen we can delete it from the vehicle so it can never start the car again — say so when you book, because it means bringing every remaining key to the visit.
- Is a replacement key from you the same as a dealer key?
- It performs the same job — lock, unlock and start — and is programmed to your Citroën in the same way. We are mobile and come to the vehicle, which is the practical difference for most people.
- Are newer Citroëns covered?
- Cars and commercials across the current and previous generations.
