What We Do To Keep The Process Safe And Non-Destructive
Our first priority is to avoid damage to your vehicle. We use:
- Slim Jim and air wedge alternatives for modern locks where appropriate
- Lock decoders and non-invasive lock tools for post-2000 vehicles
- OBD2 programming for key generation and immobiliser synchronisation where supported
- EEPROM read/write for certain modules when original keys are not present
On the rare occasions where a destructive method is unavoidable—such as irreparable lock or ignition damage—we will discuss every alternative with you and only proceed with your consent.
Pricing And Quotes For Walton-on-Thames Customers
We do not publish fixed prices online because costs depend on vehicle make, model, year, key type and whether work is required outside normal hours. Factors that affect cost include:
- Complexity of the key (basic blade, remote fob, smart/proximity)
- Whether the job is emergency roadside assistance or a scheduled appointment
- Need for programming, ECU access or module replacement
