How We Solve Your Car Key Problems
We aim for non-destructive solutions wherever possible. In rare cases where drilling or component removal is required (for example, a severely damaged lock or a specific high-security cylinder), we explain why, get your permission, and replace parts professionally.
Here’s how we typically work:
-
Assessment and ID
- We confirm your vehicle details (make, model, year, VIN where needed) and verify ownership.
- We discuss symptoms: lost keys, keys locked in car, key won’t turn, or fob stopped working.
-
Non-Destructive Entry
- For lockouts, we use specialist picks, air wedges, and safe access tools to open the vehicle without damage in the vast majority of cases.
-
Diagnostics and Programming
- Using dealer-level OBD2 diagnostics, we identify immobiliser and key issues.
- For many models, we perform car key programming on-site. Where required (some 2020–2025 vehicles, including certain Ford, VAG, and Toyota platforms), we carry out EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming with secure procedures.
-
Key Cutting and Coding
- We cut laser-cut and high-security car keys accurately in our mobile workshop.
- We program transponder chips, remote central locking, and smart/proximity keys so they sync with your car’s security system.
-
Testing and Handover
- We test physical locks, remote buttons, and starting.
- We provide guidance on battery care for the fob, keep-safe tips, and any applicable warranty details.
If your fob has died or buttons are intermittent, our technicians can diagnose and advise on key fob not working solutions or complete car key programming.

- Transponder key programming for most makes
- Smart key programming and proximity key replacement
- Remote key programming and fob repair
