What To Expect: Our Local Process
- Call or message with your location in Tattenham Corner and a brief description of the problem. We can advise on likely steps and any documents we may need.
- We dispatch a trained mobile technician in a fully equipped van. Our vans carry high-security blanks, laser cutting equipment and diagnostic tools to handle most jobs on site.
- Non-destructive entry is used wherever possible. If programming is needed we use OBD2, EEPROM reads or dealer-level diagnostics as appropriate. If lock or ignition damage requires replacement, we explain options and costs before any work proceeds.
We won’t carry out destructive work unless unavoidable — and if it is, we’ll talk you through the reasons and alternatives first.
Tools, Diagnostics and Technical Expertise
Our technicians bring the right tools and training for modern vehicle security:
- Dealer-level diagnostic tools for immobiliser and ECU work
- OBD2 programming for compatible keys and some smart systems
- EEPROM programming for certain key/ECU procedures where required
- On-van laser key cutting and high-security blanks for precision keys
- Specialist extraction tools for broken key removal without drilling
A quick note on terminology: a transponder is a small chip in your key that communicates with the car’s immobiliser to allow the engine to start. EEPROM is a small memory chip in some vehicle modules that can store security data; when necessary we use specialist equipment to read or write to it as part of key programming.

Pricing and Value
We do not publish fixed prices because the cost depends on the vehicle make, key type (basic blade, remote fob, smart/proximity) and whether programming or replacement parts are required. Factors that influence cost include:
- Vehicle make, model and year
- Type of key or fob needed
- Whether programming via OBD2 or EEPROM access is required
- Time of day (standard hours vs emergency call-out)
For a free, no-obligation estimate tailored to your vehicle, please contact us and we’ll give clear guidance before any work starts. Compare our mobile service and dealer alternatives — often we can supply and program keys at a fraction of dealer cost while providing the same diagnostic capability.

FAQs
How quickly can you help me in Tattenham Corner?
We aim to provide fast mobile assistance across the KT postcode area. Availability varies by time and local demand — call us with your location and we’ll dispatch the nearest technician where possible. We avoid promising set arrival times but focus on efficient local deployment.
Will you damage my car to get me back in?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. On modern vehicles that often means wedge-and-probe techniques and specialised tools. In rare cases, where locks or the ignition are severely damaged, replacement may be needed; we will always discuss options and get your permission first.
Can you program a key without the original?
In many cases yes — we can programme new transponder keys and fobs using OBD2, EEPROM or dealer-level diagnostic tools. The exact process depends on the vehicle make and year. Contact us with your vehicle details and we’ll explain what’s possible.
Do you cover commercial vans and fleets in the area?
Yes. We provide van and commercial locksmith services for local tradespeople and small fleets. For ongoing fleet support, contact our team to discuss tailored options.
What do I need to prove ownership to get a replacement key?
We normally require proof of vehicle ownership (e.g., V5C or registration documents) and photo ID before cutting or programming replacement keys. If you’re unsure what to bring, call ahead and we’ll advise.
