Describing Your Forester's Key Setup
Make the status of your Forester key fob the first detail you share: has it gone missing, or do you still have a working key and want an extra one? Add the car's registration and, if you have a key to refer to, a description of it. We will check the requirements rather than treat every Forester as having the same arrangement.
For Forester key programming enquiries, the distinction between an additional key and having no keys left matters to the assessment. Our car key programming page introduces the service; the options for your vehicle need confirming individually. We have seven years' experience, but still begin with the details of your car.
Forester SG, SH, SJ And SK At A Glance
The generation dates below are approximate UK ranges, not a substitute for checking the registration. They help frame the enquiry when you are unsure which Forester you own. See our Subaru manufacturer page for the broader range we discuss.
SG and SH: the earlier ranges
The SG covers roughly 2002–2008, followed by the SH at around 2008–2013. If your car falls near that changeover, give us its registration rather than choosing a generation yourself. Tell us separately whether any key remains available, so the enquiry reflects both the vehicle and your circumstances.
SJ and SK: the later generations
The SJ runs from approximately 2013–2018, with the SK appearing around 2019 onwards. Later Foresters have keyless access, but we still confirm the individual vehicle's requirements. Mention the Forester key fob you have, or explain that it is missing, when requesting a quote or asking about an appointment.

Mobile Forester Work And Payment Terms
A Forester spare key can be planned around a convenient meeting place instead of an urgent interruption. Our work is mobile, so the appointment takes place at the car. Before any key is made, we examine your V5C and photo ID. Read about spare car keys when considering whether to arrange another.
Ask about Forester key programming before booking, and we will confirm the scope and price before setting off. Nothing is payable upfront. Any change in cost required by the work we find is put to you before we continue; rejecting the new figure leaves you with no call-out fee. Our usual travel time to a customer's location is 45–60 minutes.
The registration and the car's parking location give us a starting point for discussing Subaru Forester key replacement or a Forester spare key; send us your enquiry with both. The next step takes shape during our initial discussion; 8am–11pm is our service window on weekdays and weekends alike.
