Steps

How Is a Car Key Programmed?

Diagnose, code, and test your key

  1. 1

    Diagnostic Check

    We connect to your vehicle and read its key and security data.

  2. 2

    Key Coded On-Site

    Your key or smart fob is programmed to your car at your location.

  3. 3

    Tested & Ready

    We confirm locking, unlocking and starting all work before we leave.

How It Works

Keys & Smart Fobs Coded On-Site

We program keys and smart fobs directly to your vehicle using specialist equipment, so everything locks, unlocks and starts as it should.

All Key Types

Transponder, Remote & Smart

We code traditional transponder keys, remote fobs and keyless smart keys.

Key Fobs

Key Fob Repair & Battery Replacement

Remote not working? It may only need a new battery or a repair

  1. 1

    Check the Fob

    We find out whether it is a flat battery, worn buttons or a fault with the fob itself.

  2. 2

    Battery or Repair

    We fit a new battery or repair the fob, and re-sync it to your car if it needs it.

  3. 3

    Replaced if Needed

    If a key fob cannot be repaired, we supply and program a replacement on-site.
