Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where a component is already damaged or a lock is severely compromised, we’ll explain the situation and agree next steps before any work.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Tudeley?
Yes. We provide emergency support when you need it. For urgent help, it’s best to call us directly.

Yes. We offer smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and ECU/immobiliser pairing for a wide range of vehicles using OBD2 and, where required, EEPROM techniques.
