How Our Mobile Vehicle Locksmith Service Works
We keep the process simple, professional and transparent.
-
Assessment and ID checks
You tell us the make, model, year and what’s happened. We confirm ID and ownership so we can legally assist. -
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
Using specialist lock picks, air wedges and access tools, we open most vehicles without damage. In rare cases where drilling or component removal is necessary (for example, severely damaged locks), we explain the risks, get your approval first and replace parts as agreed. -
Cutting and programming on site
- Car key cutting: Laser-cut and standard keys, including high‑security vehicle keys.
- Car key programming: We use dealer-level diagnostic equipment via OBD2 for most cars, and EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming when required, to pair new transponders, remotes and smart/proximity keys.
- Fault finding: We diagnose central locking problems, key not detected issues, and immobiliser mismatches.
- Testing and handover
We test door locks, remote buttons, starting, and immobiliser pairing. You leave with a working key, plus aftercare guidance.
