FAQs
Can you make a van key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new van key even when all keys are lost. Using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2, and in some cases EEPROM techniques, we create and program a replacement that starts the vehicle and operates the central locking. We also ensure any missing keys are deactivated for security.
Do you work on Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, and VW Transporter?
Absolutely. These are among the most common vans we attend. We also cover Vauxhall Vivaro/Movano, Renault Trafic/Master, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Relay, Fiat Ducato, Nissan, Toyota, Iveco, and more. If you’re unsure, call with your reg/VIN and we’ll confirm support.
Will you damage our van or deadlocks when unlocking?
We prioritise non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, using professional picks and decoding tools. If a lock is already damaged or an aftermarket deadlock requires drilling to gain entry, we’ll explain the options and get your approval first. We can replace or repair any affected components afterwards.
Can you program van keys and remotes on-site?
Yes. Our mobile technicians carry diagnostic equipment to program transponders and remotes roadside or at your depot. For complex immobilisers, we can perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to pair new keys safely and securely.
How long does a van key replacement take?
Many jobs are completed in one visit. Timings vary by make/model, immobiliser system, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you call. Our aim is to minimise downtime and keep your vehicles earning.
Do you support fleets and offer invoicing?
Yes. We regularly work with local businesses and fleets across the KT postcode area. We can set up an agreed process, provide invoices and job documentation, and coordinate with your office or depot for efficient approvals and dispatch.
