How We Solve Your Car Key Problem
We bring dealer-level equipment to Brenchley and surrounding TN postcodes so you don’t have to tow your vehicle or wait days for a main dealer appointment.
-
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
- We use specialist lock picks, air wedges, and shielded tools to open doors safely. In rare cases where drilling is necessary (severe lock failure or aftermarket high-security shields), we explain the risks, obtain your approval, and replace components professionally.
-
On-the-spot key cutting and programming
- We cut laser and high-security keys to code, then pair them to your car’s immobiliser using OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM/ECU programming where required. This includes transponder key programming, smart key programming, and proximity key replacement.
-
Full diagnostics and repairs
- We can test and repair key fobs, replace key blades, and diagnose immobiliser or central locking faults. For ignition issues, we provide ignition repair and replacement options when repair is not viable.
-
