How CARKEY Solutions helps you when your key is lost
Emergency contact & consultation
You call us at +43 1 641 00 39. We clarify the situation: Where is the vehicle? Which brand? Is it locked? Do you have the vehicle documents? We provide a transparent quote and schedule an appointment – often on the same day.
Vehicle opening (if needed)
If the vehicle is locked, we open it professionally and without damage. Our technicians at CARKEY Solutions use special tools that do not cause damage to paintwork, door seals, or lock cylinders.
Make a replacement key
In our workshop at Puchsbaumplatz or on-site, we create a completely new car key. We cut the key blade precisely to manufacturer specifications and use high-quality original key blanks.
Programming & immobilizer
The new key is fully programmed: transponder chip, remote control, and immobilizer. Optionally, we can delete the lost key from the system so it no longer works (theft protection).
Testing & handover
We thoroughly test all functions: door unlocking, ignition, remote control, trunk. After a successful check, we hand over your finished replacement key.

Will the insurance cover the costs?

CARKEY Solutions helps: We provide a detailed invoice with all items so you can submit it to your insurance company. If you have any questions about the process, we’re happy to help.
