How Our Mobile Service Works
-
Diagnose the Problem
We’ll confirm what’s gone wrong—lost keys, broken blade, faulty transponder, flat fob battery, or immobiliser pairing issue. We use dealer-level OBD2 diagnostics and, when required on certain models, EEPROM/ECU work to identify and resolve deeper immobiliser faults. -
Gain Safe, Non-Destructive Entry
For lockouts, we use specialist tools and techniques designed to protect your vehicle’s locks, weather seals, and paint. We avoid drilling or damage except in rare, pre-agreed cases on severely compromised locks. -
Cut and Program New Keys
- Transponder and remote keys: We cut high-accuracy blades (including laser cut keys) and complete transponder programming and remote pairing.
- Smart/proximity keys: We perform smart key programming and keyless entry programming with anti-theft protocols and immobiliser synchronisation.
- Key fob repairs and battery replacement: We repair cracked housings, replace key blades, and fix or replace buttons and internal electronics where viable.
- Test and Handover
We verify lock/unlock, boot release, and ignition start (or push-to-start) functions. You leave with a working key and clear guidance on any warranty and aftercare.

FAQs for Paddock Wood Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle using specialist decoding and dealer-level programming. For many models we can retrieve necessary data via OBD2; in certain cases, EEPROM/immobiliser work is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. On rare occasions where a lock is already damaged or a design is unusually restrictive, we’ll explain options and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed the same visit, subject to key type, make/model, and security protocols. Smart/proximity keys and some newer vehicles can take longer due to immobiliser pairing requirements.
Can you program smart keys and proximity fobs?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, keyless entry programming, and immobiliser synchronisation for modern vehicles, including push-to-start models.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Emergency support is available, including evenings and weekends. For urgent help, use the phone number below.
Are your technicians insured and vetted?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance, and all technicians are DBS-checked. We stand behind our workmanship and provide warranties on keys and programming.
