Car Key Replacement and Programming in Acton
Modern vehicles rely on transponder chips and immobilisers. If you’ve lost keys or need a spare, we can:
- Cut and code new transponder keys and remote fobs
- Program smart/proximity keys for push-to-start models
- Replace or repair flip keys and damaged blades
- Re-sync remotes and address central locking faults

A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser to allow it to start.
