- Transponder key programming for standard remote keys
- Smart key programming for push-to-start and proximity systems
- Keyless entry programming and re-sync after battery replacements
- ECU/immobiliser programming and EEPROM solutions for specific models
- Key fob repair and replacement, including flip key housings and key blade cutting
If your fob has suddenly stopped working or your car won’t detect the key, read more on our dedicated key fob not working page, or contact us for advice.

FAQs for Ashurst Wood Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle’s lock and immobiliser data using dealer-level diagnostics. We’ll verify ownership and ID, then cut and programme a working key on-site.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, employing specialist tools designed to protect locks, seals and paintwork. If a rare exception is necessary, we’ll explain why and get your consent.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed during a single visit, often the same day depending on your location, vehicle, and key type. Smart/proximity keys and certain models may take longer due to programming procedures.
Can you programme a used key fob?
Sometimes. It depends on the vehicle and whether the fob can be reset or has been locked to another car. We’ll assess your fob and advise the most reliable, cost-effective option.
My car key is not detected—what should I do?
Try a second key if you have one and replace the fob battery. If the issue persists, the transponder or immobiliser may need programming. Call us and we’ll run OBD2 diagnostics to identify the fault.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes, we provide emergency support across Ashurst Wood and RH postcodes. For urgent help, please Call 01737 302 475.
