How Our Mobile Service Works in Chertsey

We follow a simple, transparent process so you know what to expect when you call us:

Telephone Assessment
We take details about your location (for example, near Chertsey Station or off Runnymede Road), your vehicle make and model, and the issue you’re seeing. This helps our dispatcher send the right technician and tools.
On-Site Diagnosis and Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
Our technicians carry specialist non-destructive entry tools and techniques to open vehicles without damage. If the door or boot is locked we will attempt non-destructive entry first and explain any rare exceptions (for example, severely damaged locks that require removal or replacement).
Key Cutting, Programming and Repair on the Spot
We have dealer-level equipment and diagnostics in our mobile units, including OBD2 programming tools, EEPROM access for certain immobiliser systems, and transponder/key programming tools. This allows us to provide services such as:
- Car key cutting and duplication (including laser cut keys)
- Transponder key programming and smart key / proximity key programming
- Key fob replacement and remote central locking repairs
- ECU / immobiliser programming and key registration
Testing and Warranty
After repairs or key programming we test the key, fob and central locking/immobiliser functions before we leave. We offer guarantees on our workmanship and keys so you have ongoing peace of mind.

We always explain the diagnosis and the work we recommend before starting. If we need to replace a part or perform work that cannot avoid minor damage (very rare), we will discuss options and costs first.

Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz

We keep current diagnostics for 2024/2025 models and use modern programming methods such as OBD2 key programming and EEPROM reflash where required.

Typical Problems We Fix On-Site

Locked Out / Locked Keys In Car — non-destructive vehicle unlocking in most situations

If you’re unsure which problem you have, call and describe the symptoms — for example “key not detected”, “key symbol on dash” or “key won’t turn” — and we’ll advise the likely next steps.

Pricing and What Affects Cost

We do not publish fixed prices online because costs vary by vehicle make, key type (basic blade, remote fob, proximity smart key), and the work required (unlocking vs. creating a key from scratch). Factors include:

Vehicle make, model and year
Whether a transponder or smart key needs programming (OBD2/EEPROM/ECU work)
If parts are required (blank keys, fob shells, batteries)
Time of call (standard hours vs. emergency out-of-hours)

For a clear, no-obligation figure please get in touch so we can assess the details and give an accurate quote.

Security and Trust

We take security seriously. Our technicians are DBS-checked and carry identity; we verify ownership before cutting or programming keys. We’re fully insured and issue warranties on parts and workmanship. We’re proud to be a trusted local alternative to dealer services — often faster and more convenient while using dealer-level tools for programming and diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you help if I’m locked out in Chertsey?

We operate a mobile service across Chertsey and the KT postcode area. When you call we dispatch the nearest available technician with the right tools and explain expected arrival in general terms. For immediate assistance, Call 020 8123 4567.

Can you make a new car key without the original?

Yes. In many cases we can create and program a new key without the original by using OBD2 programming, EEPROM access or by coding a blank key to your vehicle’s immobiliser. The exact method depends on the vehicle make and year.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a non-destructive method isn’t viable (for example with severely corroded locks or broken cylinders), we will explain the options and get your approval before proceeding.

Do you program smart keys and proximity keys?

Yes. Our mobile units carry dealer-level programming tools for transponder keys, proximity keys and smart key systems. We handle OBD2 key programming and EEPROM-based procedures for many modern vehicles.

Do you cover nearby areas such as Addlestone or Weybridge?

Yes. We cover Chertsey and surrounding KT postcodes, including Addlestone, Weybridge, Ottershaw and Longcross. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, please contact us.
