How We Work In Coombe — Process And Tools

We follow a clear, professional process designed to be quick, transparent and minimally disruptive:

Call or message us with the details of your location in Coombe (for example: Coombe Road near Coombe Girls’ School) and the problem.
We confirm the vehicle make, model and year, so we can bring the correct tools and replacement blanks.
Our mobile unit attends carrying:
- Dealer-level diagnostic tools and OBD2 key programming equipment
- EEPROM programmers for certain immobiliser modules
- Laser key cutting machines and a wide stock of key blades and fob shells
- Non-destructive entry tools for safe vehicle access
Repair, cut and program keys on site, or extract and repair broken keys from locks and ignitions.

We use professional diagnostics to confirm whether a fault is with the key, the vehicle’s immobiliser, or the key fob electronics. For clarity: a transponder is a small chip inside many car keys that communicates with the car’s immobiliser; if the transponder isn’t programmed to the vehicle the engine won’t start. We can program transponder chips, set up proximity and smart keys, and update immobiliser pairings using secure, approved tools.

FAQs

Can you make a new car key without the original in Coombe

Yes. In many cases we can cut and program a new key without having the original, but we need proof of ownership and the vehicle details (make, model, year, VIN if available). Complex cases may require dealer-level codes which we can often access with our diagnostic tools.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it in Coombe

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a rare exception requires limited panel removal, we will explain the reason and get your permission before work begins.

How long does key programming take

Most on-site key programming jobs take between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on the vehicle and key type. Smart keys and immobiliser work can take longer if module access or EEPROM work is required.

Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in Coombe

Yes. We provide Van & Commercial Locksmith services and fleet support across KT postcodes. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith page for more.

What tools do you use for diagnostics and programming

Our technicians use dealer-level diagnostic tools, OBD2 key programming equipment and EEPROM programmers for certain immobiliser modules. This lets us program transponder chips, set up proximity and push-to-start keys, and diagnose ECU/immobiliser issues on site.

How much will it cost in Coombe

Costs vary with vehicle make, key type and whether work is emergency or scheduled. We cannot give fixed prices without vehicle details. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote so we can give an accurate estimate.
