How Our Mobile Service Works In Tadworth

We keep our process simple, transparent and reassuring:

Call or contact us with your location in Tadworth and a brief description of the problem.
We confirm the likely solution and dispatch a mobile unit equipped with dealer‑level diagnostics and key cutting machines.
On arrival we diagnose using tools such as OBD2 programmers and, where necessary, EEPROM technicians. We always explain the steps and any costs before starting.
We use non‑destructive entry methods wherever possible. If an exceptional situation requires drilling or a replacement lock, we will discuss options and get your approval first.
Workmanship and replacement keys come with a warranty and a clear invoice.

We keep the language plain, explain any technical terms (for example: “a transponder is the small chip inside your key that tells the car it’s authorised to start”), and treat every car as if it were our own.

Tools, Training and Safety Standards

We use modern, dealer‑level equipment so we can match dealership programming without the dealership price tag:

OBD2 programming tools for many vehicle makes
EEPROM techniques for certain immobiliser and key cloning situations
Transponder and smart key programmers for proximity and push‑to‑start systems
Laser‑cut key machinery and key blade databases
Non‑destructive entry kits and specialist extraction tools for broken keys

All technicians are DBS‑checked, hold public liability insurance and are trained to the latest industry standards. We also carry warranties on workmanship and replacement keys so you have peace of mind.

FAQs — Quick Answers For Tadworth Drivers

Can you make a new car key if I’ve lost the only set?

Yes. In many cases we can create and program a new key without the original using OBD2 or EEPROM programming, or by cloning the immobiliser data. The exact method depends on the vehicle make, model and year.

Will you damage my car to gain entry?

We use non‑destructive entry techniques wherever possible. Only in rare situations (for example severely damaged locks or older anti‑theft modifications) would a destructive method be considered — and we always explain this and agree it with you first.

How long will a replacement key take?

Times vary by vehicle and key type. Simple remote keys can often be cut and programmed on-site the same day; proximity and push‑to‑start keys can take longer due to programming steps. We’ll give an accurate estimate when you contact us.

Do you service commercial vans and fleets in Tadworth?

Yes. We handle van and commercial locksmith work, including key replacement, programming and on-site support for fleets. See Van & Commercial Locksmith.

Are you insured and DBS‑checked?

Yes. All technicians are DBS‑checked and we carry public liability insurance. We provide warranties on workmanship and replacement keys.
