How We Work On Mazda Keys And Locks
We follow a simple, transparent approach tailored to Mazda systems and modern immobilisers:
-
Diagnostic First
On arrival, our technician assesses the vehicle and key using dealer‑level diagnostic tools (OBD2, dedicated Mazda diagnostics). This identifies whether the issue is mechanical (lock/ignition), electronic (transponder/fob) or ECU/immobiliser related. -
Non‑Destructive Entry Where Possible
We prioritise non‑destructive entry techniques such as slim jim alternatives, air wedges and specialised lock picks designed for Mazda doors and locks. We only recommend drilling or destructive options in rare cases (for example, heavily corroded locks or certain aftermarket security devices); we’ll always explain this and get your approval first. -
Programming And Key Cutting
If a new key is needed, we cut laser‑cut blades on‑site and program transponders or smart keys using OBD2 or EEPROM techniques. Our technicians are trained in Mazda immobiliser systems and have the tools to pair keys to the ECU securely. -
Testing And Warranty
After fitting or programming, we test the key(s), remote locking, immobiliser and engine start function. All workmanship and supplied keys come with a warranty for your peace of mind.
Tools and techniques we regularly use: dealer‑level diagnostic kit, OBD2 key programming, EEPROM programming where required for certain immobiliser systems, laser key cutting, bench programmers, specialist non‑destructive entry tools.
