Locked out? We use professional, non-destructive entry tools to open your vehicle with no damage wherever possible. On rarer occasions where drilling or component replacement is genuinely necessary, we explain the reasons and costs before any work. Learn more about our car unlock service in Redhill.
Car Key Replacement and Spare Keys
Lost all keys or need a spare? We can cut and program new keys on the spot, including laser-cut and high-security profiles. That includes traditional bladed keys, remote fobs, and smart/proximity keys. See our dedicated car key replacement Redhill page for details.
Car Key Programming and Diagnostics
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car to allow it to start. If it’s not programmed correctly, the car won’t recognise the key. We provide dealer-level car key programming using OBD2 diagnostic equipment and, for certain makes and models, EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming procedures.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
If you have a working key and want a duplicate for peace of mind, we provide precise car key cutting and duplication for most UK and European brands.

FAQs for Slinfold and RH13 Drivers
Can you get me into my car without damage?
Yes, our car unlock service uses non-destructive methods wherever possible. We use specialist tools and techniques tailored to your vehicle. If a lock is severely damaged or a security component has failed, we’ll explain options and costs before any work that could involve minor drilling or replacement.
Can you make a new car key without the original?
In most cases, yes. We can create and program new keys from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data using OBD2 diagnostics or, where required, EEPROM/ECU techniques. See our guidance on lost or stolen car keys.
My key fob stopped working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a battery issue or a de-synchronised transponder. We can test and, if needed, reprogram the key, repair the fob, or supply a replacement. Read more under key fob not working.
