How We Work In Mogador
Our process is designed to be clear, fast and secure:
- Call or contact us to describe the problem. We’ll ask about your vehicle make, model and situation so we send the right tools.
- We dispatch a mobile unit from our local Kingston base. Our vans carry dealer-level diagnostic tools, OBD2 programmers, EEPROM readers, laser key cutters and a range of key blanks.
- On arrival we carry out a rapid assessment. We prioritise non-destructive entry techniques — for example, air wedge and professional slim-jim tools, specialist door unlocking rigs or remote programming — to avoid damage to locks or bodywork.
- If key generation or programming is required, we use secure OBD2 or EEPROM methods and, where needed, dealer-level equipment to ensure the replacement works with your vehicle’s immobiliser. We always explain any work that could involve lock or trim removal beforehand.
- You get a warranty on workmanship and keys where applicable, and guidance on keeping your replacement safe.
Our technicians are trained in advanced diagnostics and key programming workflows (including ECU/immobiliser procedures), so many jobs that once needed a dealer visit are completed at the roadside.

Common Questions From Mogador Drivers
Can A Locksmith Make A Car Key Without The Original?
Yes. In many cases we can create and program a new key without the original by using vehicle diagnostics (OBD2/EEPROM) and key cutting equipment. The exact approach depends on the make, model and year.
Will You Damage My Car To Get In?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and will always explain the approach before starting. Rare exceptions — for example where a lock is already damaged or an older vehicle has fused components — are discussed and authorised by you in advance.
How Long Will It Take To Get A New Key?
Times vary by vehicle and key type. A basic cut-and-program job for a standard transponder key can often be completed on-site, while some smart keys or immobiliser repairs may take longer. We’ll give an on-the-spot estimate after assessing your vehicle.
Do You Offer Warranties On Keys And Work?
Yes. We provide warranties on our workmanship and on keys supplied where applicable. We’ll explain warranty terms at the time of service.
Is It Cheaper Than Going To A Dealer?
Often yes. Using our mobile service with dealer-level tools can be more affordable and far quicker than dealer replacement, but cost depends on key type, programming needs and whether it’s an emergency. For guidance see our pricing page.
