About JLR Keys South West

The Regional Alternative to the Main Dealer

We provide a structured, mobile response for Jaguar, Land Rover, and Range Rover key failure and “All Keys Lost” scenarios across the South West.

Local expertise: Solving complex JLR security issues on-site.

A Personal Approach to Complex Systems

JLR Keys South West was founded on a simple principle: high-security vehicles deserve dedicated attention. Most “all-makes” locksmiths focus on volume, but modern Jaguar and Land Rover platforms require a deeper level of technical investment.

We live and work in the South West. We understand that when you’re stranded in a rural Devon lane or a Cornish driveway with a non-starting Range Rover, you don’t want a call-centre script. You want a specialist who knows exactly how your vehicle’s Remote Function Actuator (RFA) communicates with your key.

We don’t aim to be the biggest locksmith in the UK—we aim to be the most capable for JLR owners in our region.

Our Core Competencies

  • All Keys Lost (AKL): Full recovery for modern JLR platforms.
  • Immobiliser Recovery: Solving “Key Not Found” and start-authorisation faults.
  • Non-Destructive Entry: Specialist picking techniques to protect your vehicle.
  • System Health Checks: Ensuring your security modules are operating correctly.

Why We Only Do JLR

Modern Jaguar and Land Rover security is a layered architecture. Depending on your model year, it involves encrypted gateways and Body Control Module (BCM) integration that can be easily “bricked” by generic tools.

JLR Keys SW invest in dealer grade diagnostic hardware and stay updated on the latest JLR security bulletins. We don’t guess; we follow the specific engineering protocols required by your car.

The 5-Step Resolution Process

From your first call to the final testing, we operate with complete transparency and a focus on vehicle safety.

1. Verification

For your protection and ours, we verify ownership and ID before any security work begins. No exceptions.

2. Assessment

We identify the exact security architecture (RFA/KVM) to ensure the correct software workflow is used.

3. Programming

Safe, dealer-compatible communication with the car’s modules to program new, genuine-spec keys.

4. Quality Testing

We test every function: proximity start, remote locking, and emergency blade fitment. You receive a fully functional solution.

5. Handover

A clear explanation of the work completed. If there are existing faults with the car, we provide a full diagnostic report.

Avoid the £2,000 Main Dealer Quote

Many of our clients contact us after being told by a dealer that they need new modules (KVM/BCM) costing thousands, alongside a 2-week wait for recovery.

We offer a mobile, same-day alternative that often saves owners over 50% compared to dealership pricing.
