Vauxhall car keys
Vauxhall keys: Corsa, Astra, Mokka and more
Vauxhalls are everywhere in Suffolk and Essex, and so are worn-out Vauxhall keys. Whether the flip blade has snapped, the buttons have given up or the last key has gone missing, I come to the car and sort it there.
Vauxhall keys I can help with
For years most Vauxhalls came with a flip key, and on popular models like the Corsa and Astra these get heavy daily use. The hinge, the blade and the rubber buttons are the parts that tend to wear first.
Since around 2019, newer models such as the latest Corsa and Mokka share their underpinnings with Peugeot and Citroën, and their keys are different from older Vauxhall keys. Some trims have keyless entry and push-button start. Tell me the year when you call, so I know which key your car uses.
Common Vauxhall key problems
- Flip blade snapped off or flopping loose in the fob.
- Buttons worn through so the remote no longer locks the car.
- Spare key never handed over when the car was bought second-hand.
- All keys lost or stolen.
- Key turns in the ignition but the car won’t start — sometimes a key that has lost its programming.

Not listed? I work on most Vauxhall models, so call with the year and registration and I’ll confirm.
Spare keys for older Corsas and Astras
Plenty of Corsa D and Astra H and J models around Suffolk are now on their second or third owner, and it’s common for only one key to have come with the car. If that key is worn, it’s worth getting a spare made before it fails, while there’s still a working key to start from.
What happens when you call
Tell me the model, year and registration of your Vauxhall, and whether you still have a working key. I’ll confirm the price by phone, then come out to the car — at home, at work or at the roadside. The new key is cut where needed, programmed to the car and tested on the doors, remote and engine before I leave.
Price
I quote each job individually because the key type and the car make a difference. You’ll know the price before anything is booked, and work comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Questions people ask
My Vauxhall flip key has snapped. Can it be fixed?
Often, yes. If the electronics inside are still working, a new case and blade can be fitted and cut to match your car. If the key is past saving, I can make and programme a full replacement.
Is a newer Corsa key the same as an older one?
No. Corsas from around 2019 onwards are built on a shared platform with Peugeot and Citroën and use a different key from earlier Corsas. Give me the year and registration and I’ll confirm what yours needs.
Can you make a Vauxhall key with no original?
For most models, yes. I come to the car, make a new key and programme it so it opens and starts the car, with no tow to a dealer.
Do you do Vauxhall vans?
Yes, including the Vivaro, Movano and Combo. I can add a spare or replace a lost van key wherever the van is.
