What We Do In An Emergency

  • Non-destructive vehicle unlocking
    We use advanced lock-picking tools, wedges, and air bags to open doors without damage wherever possible. For certain models, we may use lock-decoding tools to protect your vehicle.

  • Fast car key replacement and spare keys
    We cut and program replacement keys at the roadside. This includes laser-cut keys, remote fobs, and smart/proximity keys.

  • Key fob diagnostics and programming
    Using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 key programming, and (where required) EEPROM/immobiliser programming, we restore communication between your vehicle and key.

  • Broken key extraction and ignition help
    We carefully extract snapped keys from locks or ignition cylinders and can assist with ignition switch repairs. For complex ignition faults, see car lock and ignition issues.

  • Security after lost or stolen keys
    We can erase lost or stolen keys from the vehicle’s system and program new ones so old keys no longer start the car. For full details, visit lost or stolen car keys.
