Does The Quote Include Programming?

Ask for the complete price when booking, particularly if a genuine key is required. The genuine key starting figure is before programming, not a complete job price. Before setting off, we go over the programming quote for your Picanto with you; an outline of what the service involves is available on our [car key programming page](/services/car-key-programming).

When Can You Come To The Car?

Expect an arrival wait of around 45–60 minutes, with visits available each day between 8am and 11pm. There is no upfront payment. Should the car need different work from the job described, we pause to talk through the revised charge with you. Declining that revision carries no call-out fee.

The Details Behind A Picanto Quote

The Picanto spans three approximate generation periods: 2004–2011, 2011–2017 and the JA from around 2017 onwards. The registration lets us establish the generation, leaving that identification to us. That gives us a starting point for discussing the key required and the price before travelling.

Earlier Picantos

With either of the first two generations, the enquiry starts with one distinction: a usable key remains, or the sole key has been lost and you need assistance. If your Picanto key fob is the concern, describe the problem when enquiring so the quote addresses what you actually need.

JA Models And The Genuine Key Requirement

Many Kia models from around 2018 onwards need a genuine Kia key. These can cost more than most owners expect, starting from around £350 before programming. We check whether that requirement applies before pricing Picanto key programming.

Mobile Support For Your Picanto

Having your current Picanto key to hand makes this a useful time to ask about a spare. Home, work or another suitable parking spot can serve as the location for our spare car key service. The work takes place there rather than requiring a workshop trip.

Before we make a key, we check two documents, so please have your V5C and photo ID available. Seven years of experience inform our work; the quote itself is based on the Picanto in front of us, not a blanket assumption about the model. For a wider overview, our Kia page explains the make-level considerations. Please specify the purpose of the new key: adding to those you hold or taking the place of one that is missing.
