FAQs: Subaru Keys And Locks
Can you make a new Subaru key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Subaru key from your locks and program it to the immobiliser without the original. For lost keys, we can also erase the missing key from the system for security. If you’ve lost all keys, we can still help—our vans carry dealer-level equipment.
Do you support Subaru smart keys and proximity fobs?
Absolutely. We supply and program proximity/smart keys for models like Outback, Forester, XV, and Impreza with push-to-start. We’ll pair the fob, test passive entry, and confirm engine start.
My Subaru key fob isn’t working—do I just need a new battery?
Sometimes a simple battery swap fixes it, but not always. Buttons, micro-switches, or the PCB can fail. We’ll test the fob, repair if viable, or provide a cost-effective programmed replacement.
Will you damage my Subaru when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible to protect your vehicle. In the rare event a component has failed internally and non-destructive entry isn’t feasible, we’ll explain the options and costs before any work begins.
Can you come to my area within the TN postcodes?
Yes. We’re based in Tunbridge Wells and cover Royal Tunbridge Wells, Southborough, Pembury, Langton Green, Tonbridge, Paddock Wood, Wadhurst, Cranbrook, Edenbridge, and more across the TN region. You can also check the areas we cover across TN postcodes.
How long does it take to get a new Subaru key?
Many Subaru keys can be cut and programmed the same day at your location. Timing depends on the model, key type, and whether all keys are lost. Call us with your registration and model for an accurate timeframe.
