How We Work On Citroën Vehicles
Our approach is diagnostic, transparent and designed to get you on the road quickly while protecting your vehicle.
-
We Assess The Situation On Site
We start with a safety check and symptoms review. If the issue is unclear we use dealer‑level diagnostics to read immobiliser codes and fault data. -
Non‑Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
Our technicians are trained in non‑destructive entry techniques for Citroën doors and boots. We only resort to door or lock removal in exceptional cases and will always explain options before proceeding. -
Key Cutting And Programming
Where a new key is required we laser‑cut or machine the blade to factory specification, then program the transponder or smart key. For programming we use OBD2 programmers, EEPROM access where needed, and manufacturer‑level toolsets for complex immobiliser systems. -
Final Checks And Warranty
After repair or replacement we test all locking, remote and immobiliser functions. We provide a warranty on workmanship and new keys so you have peace of mind.
Tools and technology we regularly use: OBD2 programming tools, EEPROM readers/writers, dealer‑level diagnostic interfaces, laser key cutting machines, key cloning equipment and secure key blank stock for modern Citroën systems.
Common Citroën Models We Service
We cover all Citroën models, including modern and commercial vehicles commonly found across the KT postcodes:
- C1, C3, C3 Aircross, C3 Picasso
- C4, C4 Cactus, C4 Picasso
- C5, C5 Aircross

If you have an older Citroën or a DS variant, we can usually provide solutions using EEPROM or dealer‑level diagnostics — contact us for a model‑specific check.

We use non‑destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a door or lock is damaged prior to our arrival or is intrinsically faulty, we’ll explain options and get your agreement before any work that may be invasive.
