Spare keys, replacement fobs, and all-keys-lost recovery — cut, coded, and programmed to the car rather than guessed at. We work from the immobiliser data on the bench when the OBD port won't give it up, so the jobs the dealer quotes as a tow and a new lock set stay fixable in place.
Tell us the vehicle, the year, and how many working keys you have left. We'll tell you what's involved and what it costs before anyone turns up.

From a second key you should have had years ago to a car sitting on the drive with nothing left that opens it.
The key is right and the car still won't start or won't open — because the lock, the steering lock, or the immobiliser itself has failed.
A fixed, documented path — with the ownership check and the quote both settled before any work starts.
Photo ID plus a document tying you to the vehicle — registration, title, insurance, or a lease or fleet authorisation letter — with the name matching. For a trade or fleet account we verify the business and work from a signed authority on file. We log every job against the VIN. No exceptions, including emergencies: it's the line that separates this from the other use of these tools.
Usually not. All-keys-lost is a standard job: we get in non-destructively, read the key data the car already holds — through the OBD port where the system allows it, or from the immobiliser, BCM, or cluster on the bench where it doesn't — and generate a new key from that. On most vehicles the original locks stay in place and the car drives away under its own power.
Often yes, and we'll say so honestly when it saves you money. Send us the listing before you order — the common failure is a fob with the right shell but the wrong transponder chip or radio frequency, which no amount of programming will fix. We can't warrant a part we didn't supply, and a locked or pre-coded used fob may not be reusable at all.
Yes, and it's worth doing promptly. We erase the immobiliser's key memory and re-learn only the keys in your hand, so the missing one stops working — a spare key is not revoked just because you've had a new one cut. Where the system doesn't support selective deletion we rewrite the key slots on the module instead.
Both, and we'll tell you which applies when you describe the job. Spare keys, entry, and most all-keys-lost work happens at the vehicle. Jobs needing a module opened up — a failed steering lock, corrupted key memory, a dead immobiliser — are faster and cheaper on the bench, so the module comes to us while the car stays where it is.
