How We Work On MG Keys — Step By Step
- Call or contact us with your MG details (model, year, VIN if available) and explain the issue.
- We confirm likely solutions and attendance options across Kingston upon Thames and KT postcodes. Get a Free, No-Obligation Quote if you prefer an estimate.
- Our mobile technician arrives fully equipped. We first attempt non-destructive solutions (e.g., OBD2 reprogramme, on-vehicle key learning, non-destructive entry).
- If a new key is needed we cut precision blades (including laser-cut) and programme transponders or smart fobs using dealer-level tools and EEPROM where required.
- We run final diagnostics to ensure immobiliser, central locking and remote functions work correctly. Workmanship and keys are covered by a 12-month warranty.
We always explain the process and costs before starting. Non-destructive methods are used wherever possible; in rare cases (severe lock damage or advanced theft protection issues) we may need to remove or replace components — we’ll seek authorisation first.

FAQs
Can you make an MG key without the original?
Yes. For most MG models we can cut a new blade and programme a transponder or smart key using OBD2/EERPROM methods and dealer-level tools. We may need the VIN or proof of ownership.
