How We Solve Car Key Problems In Wigmore
Our clear, step-by-step approach:
- Assessment and ID check
- We confirm your vehicle details, location in Wigmore ME8, and what’s gone wrong. We’ll verify vehicle ownership for your security and ours.
- Non-destructive entry wherever possible
- For lockouts, we use specialist picks and air wedges to open your vehicle without damage. On modern cars, we favour non-destructive entry first; we’ll only resort to destructive methods in rare, unavoidable cases and always explain this before any work.
- Dealer-level diagnostics and programming
- We connect to your vehicle via OBD2 to read immobiliser/ECU data and carry out car key programming. For certain models and lost-all-keys scenarios, we can undertake EEPROM or immobiliser programming to generate a new key set securely.
- Key cutting and testing
- We cut laser and high-security keys on the van, then program transponders and remotes. We test door locks, ignition turn, remote functions, and start/stop to ensure everything works before we leave.
- Handover, warranty, and guidance
- You’ll receive your new or repaired key with our workmanship guarantee. We’ll also offer simple tips to avoid repeat issues and can cut a second spare on the spot at a better rate than calling us out again.
