How We Solve Your Car Key and Lock Problems
We combine experience with specialist tools to resolve issues quickly and safely:
-
Non-Destructive Vehicle Entry Wherever possible, we use advanced lock-picking and air-wedge techniques to unlock your vehicle without damage. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is required, we’ll explain the reasons and agree next steps before work begins.
-
On-Vehicle Diagnostics Our dealer-level equipment and OBD2 diagnostics let us read immobiliser data, code new keys, and diagnose why a key fob or transponder isn’t recognised. For certain models, we also provide EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming for complex faults.
-
Car Key Cutting & Programming We cut laser and standard blades on-site and program transponder and smart keys, including proximity and push-to-start systems. If your key blade is bent or the flip mechanism is broken, we can replace the shell or blade and reprogram the electronics.
-
Broken Key Extraction and Ignition Issues If the key is snapped or stuck, we offer careful extraction and can repair or replace worn locks and ignitions. We’ll always try repair first to keep costs and disruption down.
Every job is carried out by insured, DBS-checked technicians, and our workmanship and new keys come with clear warranties.
