How Our Byfleet Mobile Service Works
We follow a clear, transparent process designed to get you back on the road as soon as possible:
-
Contact Us and Tell Us Where You Are
Let us know the vehicle make, model and a brief description of the problem. We cover Byfleet and neighbouring KT postcodes and will dispatch a mobile technician. -
On-Site Diagnosis Using Dealer-Level Equipment
Our technicians carry dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 programmers and EEPROM tools for older or complex immobiliser systems. This lets us identify whether the fault is key-related, ECU-related or a lock/mechanical issue. -
Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
We prioritise non-destructive vehicle entry techniques. If a lock is severely damaged or the ignition requires replacement, we will explain the reason and discuss options before any destructive work is done. -
Key Cutting, Programming and Testing
Most keys — from basic blades to proximity smart keys — can be cut and programmed on-site using laser key cutting and OBD2/EERPOM programming tools. We finish by testing the key, remote and immobiliser functions. -
Warranty and Aftercare
We stand behind our work with warranties on keys and workmanship, and we supply advice on preventing future issues (spare keys, care for fobs, battery changes).

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Will It Cost To Replace A Car Key In Byfleet?
Costs vary by vehicle make, key type and whether programming is required. Factors include the key (basic blade, remote fob, proximity smart key), year and model, and whether the service is required out-of-hours. For a tailored estimate, request a free quote via contact our Kingston upon Thames team or explain your situation to us.
Can A Locksmith Make A Car Key Without The Original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and programme a replacement key without the original using OBD2 or EEPROM programming and by cutting a new blade on-site. This depends on the vehicle make and immobiliser system.
Will You Damage My Car When Unlocking It?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases — for example, severely damaged locks or complex anti-theft systems — limited replacement of the lock cylinder or other parts may be required. We will always explain options and get your consent before proceeding.
Do You Work On Vans And Commercial Vehicles?
Yes. We offer van and commercial locksmith services including replacement keys, immobiliser programming and fleet support. See our van & commercial locksmith services for more details.
How Long Will It Take To Get A New Key?
Times vary by vehicle and key type. Many basic keys and many remote fobs can be cut and programmed on-site within an hour; smart key or complex immobiliser work may take longer due to diagnostic steps. We’ll give a time estimate after diagnosis.
