How We Solve Your Car Key Problem
We follow a clear, careful process designed to get you moving again quickly without unnecessary damage.
- Diagnosis and Access
- We verify ID and ownership for your security.
- Non-destructive entry techniques first: air wedges, internal lock picks, and manufacturer-safe methods that avoid damage. In rare cases where a lock is severely damaged or a high-security profile requires another route, we’ll explain options and get your approval before proceeding.
- Key Creation and Cutting
- For lost, stolen, or broken keys, we decode your lock and cut a new key using laser cutters for high-security blades when needed.
- For vans and newer cars, we can create keys from the lock or from the immobiliser data when required.
- Programming and Pairing
- We use dealer-level tools for OBD2 key programming, and for certain models we carry out EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to match transponders and remotes securely.
- Smart key and proximity key pairing supported for brands like Ford, VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Vauxhall, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, and more.
- Testing and Handover
- We check door locking, remote buttons, transponder recognition, and starting.
