- Our fully equipped mobile unit comes to your home, workplace, or roadside across ME17.

We avoid drilling or changing locks unless absolutely necessary; if a non-destructive approach isn’t possible due to severe damage or a specific vehicle security configuration, we’ll explain options and costs clearly before we proceed.
Advanced Tools and Training You Can Trust
Our technicians work with the same standards you’d expect from a main dealer, but with the speed and convenience of a local, mobile service. We invest in:
- Dealer-level diagnostics for OBD2 key programming and fault codes
- EEPROM/ECU and immobiliser programming for complex systems
- Specialist key cutting for laser-cut and high-security vehicle keys
- Genuine-quality remotes and smart keys for reliable performance
- Ongoing training on 2024/2025 vehicle security technologies
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. Without a correctly programmed transponder, the car will not start—even if the key blade turns. We pair and test everything so your vehicle recognises the new key instantly.

FAQs for Coxheath Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. Using OBD2 diagnostics and, where needed, EEPROM/ECU programming, we pair the new key so the car recognises it securely.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our priority is non-destructive entry. We use professional lock-picking tools and techniques to open doors without damage. In rare cases where a lock is severely damaged or a specific security system prevents picking, we’ll explain options and get your approval before any work.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Most standard and remote keys can be cut and programmed on site during one visit. Times vary by make/model, key type (standard vs. smart/proximity), and the vehicle’s immobiliser system.
Can you program smart and proximity keys?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and push-to-start systems for a wide range of brands using dealer-level diagnostic tools.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency assistance across Maidstone and the ME postcode area outside standard hours. For urgent help now, please call.
What should I do if my keys are stolen in Coxheath?
Call us promptly. We can erase the missing keys from your vehicle’s memory, supply and program new keys, and advise on immobiliser security so your car remains protected.
