SEAT spare keymobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I only have one key and want a second” — that is the call we take on SEATs most days. Adding a spare while your existing key still works is the cheapest key job there is. With a working key present the vehicle is far easier to program to, which is why a spare today costs materially less than an all-keys-lost callout later.
How SEAT keys work
Ibiza, Leon, Arona and Ateca use the VW Group flip key on most trims, with keyless entry on higher specifications.
A remote that has stopped locking the car but still starts it is usually a fob or battery fault rather than a full key replacement — worth checking before you pay for a new key.

How long a SEAT spare key takes
The fastest of the four jobs. With your working key present there is nothing to decode, so most spare-key visits on a SEAT are done in a single short appointment while you carry on with your day.
What decides the price
A spare is the cheapest key you will ever buy for a SEAT, because the vehicle is far easier to program to while a working key exists. Waiting until the last key is lost changes both the method and the price.
SEAT spare key FAQs
- Is it worth getting a spare SEAT key before I lose one?
- Yes, and it is the single piece of advice we repeat most. A spare booked in advance is a planned, low-cost visit; the same car with no keys at all is a longer, more expensive emergency job.
- Do I need to bring the SEAT anywhere for a spare key?
- No. We come to your home, work or wherever the car is parked, and cut and program the spare there. You do not need to drive anywhere or leave the vehicle with anyone.
- Are newer SEATs covered?
- Broad coverage across the current range.
