Professional. Mobile. Trusted.
Skoda runs on the same VAG MQB platform as VW and Audi — meaning Octavia, Superb, Kodiaq, Karoq and the new Enyaq EV use the MQB48 immobiliser and Component Protection system. StageMyCar holds the online VAG dealer-grade tooling needed to handle Component Protection certificates kerbside, so we can cut and programme spare keys and recover all-keys-lost without towing the car to a Skoda main dealer. Older HU66 platforms (Fabia MK2/MK3, Rapid, Yeti, pre-2014 Octavia) handled same-day with traditional immobiliser pairing. Every job: fixed price, no damage, 12-month warranty.
- Octavia MK3 / MK4 — MQB48 proximity & remote
- Superb MK3 / MK4 — MQB48 with Component Protection
- Kodiaq / Karoq — MQB48 proximity keys
- Fabia MK2 / MK3 — HU66 remote keys
- Enyaq iV — MEB platform proximity
- All-keys-lost recovery — VIN-based
- Spare key on the driveway in 60–90 min
- From £150 — typically 50% under dealer
- 12-month warranty, fully insured

Why Skoda keys are not a generic locksmith job
You do not need to know what platform your car is on — send us the registration and we will. But if you are comparing quotes, this is the part that separates a shop that can actually finish the job from one that gets halfway and calls a recovery truck.
MQB / MQB48 component protection
Group cars built from roughly 2013 onward (Golf 7 and 8, Polo 6, T-Roc, T-Cross, Tiguan 2, Passat B8, Arteon, Audi A3 8V/8Y, Q2, Q3, Skoda Octavia 3/4, Superb 3, Kodiaq, SEAT Leon 3/4, Ateca, Cupra Formentor) use component-protected keys. The key is married to the immobiliser data held across several modules, so it cannot simply be cloned — the correct authenticated procedure has to be used or the car ends up immobilised properly.
KESSY and proximity systems
Keyless entry and go adds a second layer: aerial rings, interior sensors and a comfort-access module that all have to see the new key. We test entry, start, boot release and comfort functions before leaving, not just that the engine cranks.
Older PQ25 / PQ35 / PQ46 immobilisers
Golf Mk4 to Mk6, Polo 9N/6R, Passat B6/B7, Octavia 2, Leon 1P, A3 8P, A4 B7/B8 and the T5 Transporter generation. Different equipment, different route, still handled on site.
All keys lost on a Group car
The job dealers most like to quote a recovery truck for. Where the platform allows it we generate a new key from the vehicle's own data, program it, and where supported remove the missing keys from the immobiliser so they can no longer start the car.
Vans and commercials
Transporter T5/T6/T6.1, Caddy, Crafter and the Skoda/SEAT commercial derivatives — including keys lost off-site at a depot or yard.
What we tell you before booking
Some vehicles and some security platforms genuinely are dealer-only, and a handful of the newest Group cars need manufacturer-side authorisation. We check your registration first and say so up front rather than attend, fail, and still charge you for the visit.
