KeyNOW Launches a New Lower Solution to Replacing Car or Van Keys

KeyNOW by Timpson has launched the first website in the UK that enables fully programmed replacement car and van keys to be ordered online.  This service is intended to provide a lower-cost alternative to having to visit the vehicle’s main dealer.  KeyNOW introduces several technological innovations to make car and van key replacement easier and less costly, including newly developed decoding software.  This allows a customer to order a replacement car key simply by uploading a photo of their key from any smartphone. KeyNOW’s new-to-market ‘Pair-it-Yourself’ key programming device allows customers to easily pair their new key to their vehicle themselves. KeyNOW claims its new service offers up to a 60% saving over main dealer replacement key prices.

Anyone who has ever looked into replacing their car keys will know that the choices available have not always been the most convenient for their time or their pocket.  Waiting for an auto locksmith to turn up or trying to get the vehicle booked into a garage or main dealer can be a real hassle.  Sometimes it can take weeks to get a new key that is programmed to their vehicle and often it is very costly.  KeyNOW gives vehicle owners an alternative affordable, quick, and straightforward range of options to choose from.

The new website enables vehicle owners to easily search for their vehicle and select from several key types and service options to suit their budget.  The service options available include:

Pair-it Yourself – A cut key is supplied with the new-to-market KeyNOW pairing device.  The handheld programmer enables car owners to easily pair their new keys to their vehicles by themselves.  Prices start from as little as £99 for a new key and programmer combined.

You Come To Us  – Customers can choose to collect their new key from a local Timpson store.  Their new key is then paired to their car by a trained Timpson technician at the store while they wait.

We Come To You – For ultimate convenience, a KeyNOW technician hand delivers the new key, programs it to the vehicle and fully tests both the key and remote before leaving it with them.  Customers can pre-book the service to take place at a time, date and location convenient to them.

Phil Moss, Managing Director of KeyNOW explains “For too long, car and van key replacement has been costly and confusing.  Our online key replacement service gives total transparency with no hidden extra costs.  KeyNOW enables vehicle owners to choose a price and service level that suits them.  Most of all, the process is quick, easy and far more affordable than traditional key replacement options”.

KeyNOW has been developed by Iconx International Ltd, the automation technology division within the Timpson Group.  The company has over 20 years of experience in automated key-cutting innovation.
