How Our Box Hill Mobile Auto Locksmith Service Works
We aim to get you back on the road with minimum fuss and minimal damage. Our process is straightforward and transparent:
- Call or request a quote so we can understand the problem and the vehicle make/model. If it’s urgent, tell us so we can prioritise.
- We dispatch a fully equipped, mobile unit from our local Kingston upon Thames hub. Our vans carry dealer-level diagnostics and specialist tools so most jobs are completed on site.
- On arrival we diagnose the issue using tools such as OBD2 diagnostics and, when required for programming, EEPROM-level access or dealer-grade interfaces.
- We prefer non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a non-destructive method isn’t viable (rare), we will discuss options and get your permission before proceeding.
- We cut and program replacement keys on-site: transponder key programming, smart key programming, keyless entry fobs, laser cut keys and standard key duplication.
Our technicians are trained for modern systems including push-to-start, proximity keys and newer immobiliser setups. For advanced programming tasks we use OBD2 and EEPROM tools and dealer-level equipment to ensure precise, secure programming.
