How We Work With Skoda Vehicles
Modern Skoda models use immobiliser systems with transponders or proximity technology tied to the vehicle’s ECU. Here’s how we handle typical scenarios:
-
Assessment and Security Checks
- We verify vehicle ownership and carry out a quick diagnostic to identify the correct path: key cloning, transponder programming, remote pairing, or immobiliser adaptation.
-
Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
- If you’re locked out, we use specialist picks and air wedges for non-destructive entry. We avoid drilling or prying. In rare cases where a component has failed internally and non-destructive methods cannot work, we’ll explain the reason, outline risks and costs, and obtain your approval before proceeding.
-
Cutting and Programming
- We cut keys using high-precision, dealer-level machines and code the transponder via OBD2 key programming. If your model requires it, we can perform EEPROM key programming and ECU/immobiliser programming to synchronise a new key to your Skoda’s security system.
-
Remote and Smart Key Setup
- For flip remotes and smart/proximity keys, we handle remote programming and keyless entry programming, test central locking, and confirm start/stop function on push-to-start models.
-
Final Testing and Handover
- We test door locks, remote locking/unlocking, and ignition start. You’ll get practical advice to avoid future lockouts and details of our workmanship and key warranty.

FAQs
Can a locksmith make a Skoda key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new Skoda key without the original by reading the vehicle’s security data and pairing a new transponder/remote. We handle this on-site across the TW postcode area after verifying ownership.
Will you damage my Skoda when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare event a component has failed and drilling or part replacement is the only solution, we’ll explain the reason and cost before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new Skoda key?
Most replacements are completed during a single visit. Timing depends on your model, key type (standard, flip, or proximity), and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call.
Can you program Skoda proximity/smart keys?
Yes. We program Skoda proximity keys and push-to-start systems using OBD2 and, where required, EEPROM/immobiliser programming tools.
Do you cover my part of Twickenham?
We cover all TW areas including Twickenham, Teddington, Hampton, Whitton, Richmond, Isleworth, Hounslow, Feltham, Sunbury-on-Thames, Staines-upon-Thames, and surrounding neighbourhoods. Check the areas we cover across TW postcodes.
