How We Solve Car Key And Lock Problems
We combine specialist training with dealer-level equipment to deliver a quick, precise fix:
-
Assessment and Identification
- We confirm your vehicle model, year, and immobiliser system, then verify ownership.
- Modern cars use immobilisers; your key contains a transponder chip that “talks” to the car. We test and diagnose faults.
-
Non-Destructive Vehicle Entry
- In most cases we gain entry without damage using professional lock-picking techniques and air wedges.
- Rare exceptions (severe lock damage or specific high-security failures) are discussed clearly before any work.
-
Key Cutting And Transponder Programming
- We cut keys using laser or traditional cutting as required and program transponders via OBD2 diagnostics.
- For complex cases (e.g., certain VAG, BMW, or Mercedes systems), we can use EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming methods.
-
Smart Key And Keyless Systems
- We handle smart/proximity keys and push-to-start vehicles, including keyless entry programming and pairing.
-
Testing And Handover
- Every key is tested for lock, ignition, and remote functions before we leave.
- We provide guidance on key care, and workmanship/keys are covered by warranty.
Need a spare after we’ve got you moving? We can often cut and program a second key on the spot at a better price than returning later. Learn more about car key replacement in West London and car key programming.

FAQs For Acton Green Drivers
Can you unlock my car without damage?
Yes, we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, including professional lock-picking and air tools that protect paintwork and weather seals. If a rare exception applies (for example, severely damaged locks or unusual security configurations), we’ll explain options and get your consent before proceeding.
Can you make a new car key without the original?
In most cases, yes. We can cut and program a new key or fob from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN and immobiliser data, often via OBD2 diagnostics or, where required, EEPROM/ECU techniques. This is a common request when keys are lost around Acton Green. See our guide on car key replacement in West London.
My key fob stopped working outside my house. What should I do?
Sometimes it’s a simple battery issue; other times the transponder or remote has failed. We can test and repair or replace the fob, then reprogram it on site. Read more on key fob not working and our car key programming service.
Do you cut spare car keys as well as emergency replacements?
Absolutely. We offer on-the-spot car key cutting and duplication for most brands and can program the spare to your immobiliser so it works exactly like the original.
Are you insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and all technicians are DBS-checked. We also verify vehicle ownership before commencing work for your security.
How long will it take to get me back on the road?
It depends on your location, vehicle, and the service required. We focus on efficient dispatch across W4 and aim to complete most jobs at the roadside in a single visit. For complex programming or high-security systems, we’ll keep you informed at every step.
