How Our Mobile Car Locksmith Service Works
-
Call or message us with your vehicle details
We’ll ask for make, model, year, and your location in Prittlewell or SS2 so we can prepare the right kit and blanks. For keyless vehicles, we’ll confirm the fob type. -
We come to you with fully equipped, mobile diagnostics
Our van carries laser key cutting machines, OEM-quality key blanks, and dealer-level diagnostic tools. We use OBD2 diagnostics for most key programming and EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming when needed for specific models. -
Non-destructive entry and secure programming
Wherever possible, we open vehicles without damage, using professional lock picks and air wedges designed for automotive use. In rare cases where destructive methods are the only safe option (e.g., a severely damaged or tampered lock), we’ll explain the risks and costs clearly before proceeding. -
Test, verify, and handover
We test remote locking, engine start, and immobiliser pairing, and show you everything works before we leave. You’ll receive guidance on looking after your new key and any warranty details.
