Equipment and experience specific to this brand, not a generic key service.
Mini belongs to BMW and uses the same immobiliser families: EWS on the R50 and R52 cars, CAS3 on the R55 and R56, BDC on the F54 and F56, with the HU92R blade throughout the older range and ID49 proximity keys on the recent ones.
Programming happens over OBD with brand-specific equipment. On many models we can add a key without the original, and where every key is gone we erase the old set and code a new one.
Car park, urbanisation, street or roadside, day or night. The work is done where your Mini is standing, so there is no tow and no garage booking.
Each one according to the key system it actually carries.

Remote key with transponder on the HU92R blade, proximity Smart Key on the newer cars.

Mini Smart Key with the ID49 chip on the current U25.

The R55 uses a CAS3 remote on HU92R, the F54 a BDC Smart Key with PCF7953P.

R52 takes the Mini EWS remote key on the HU92R profile.

Usually yes. A duplicate starts at €50 and a Smart Key at €80, coded at your address rather than at a dealer in Alicante.
On the older cars that is a worn barrel more often than a worn key. We check both, because replacing the key alone would not fix it.
Same immobiliser families and the same HU92R blade on the older cars. That is why the job is straightforward for us.
