How We Work — Practical Steps to Get You Moving
Our approach is designed to be quick, transparent and non-invasive wherever possible:
- Call or contact us and tell us your location in New Malden (KT3), vehicle make and the nature of the problem.
- We assess the situation over the phone and dispatch a fully equipped mobile unit with a DBS-checked technician and dealer-level tools.
- On arrival we diagnose using specialist equipment such as OBD2 diagnostic interfaces, EEPROM tools and dealer-level programming heads where required.
- We attempt non-destructive entry first using specialist entry tools and techniques; only in very rare cases do we discuss access methods that could cause damage.
- If a new key is required we can cut laser-cut and high-security blades onsite and complete transponder or smart key programming using OBD2 or EEPROM programming where necessary.
- We test the key, immobiliser and car start functions before we leave and provide a warranty on workmanship and keys where applicable.
Technical tools and procedures we regularly use include OBD2 key programming for many late-model vehicles, EEPROM reading/writing for specific immobiliser modules, and dealer-level diagnostic interfaces to fully synchronise keys with ECUs. We carry blank remote key housings, high-security blank blades for laser cut keys, and key cutting machines capable of precision duplication and blade replacement.
Non-Destructive Entry and Transparency
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible and avoid forced entry. If a situation—such as a serious locking mechanism failure or a damaged ignition—requires a non-routine approach that might cause harm, we explain the reasons and give options and costs before proceeding. Our aim is to repair, replace or reprogramme without unnecessary bodywork or trim removal.
