Vehicle Unlocking Without Damage

If you’ve accidentally locked your keys inside your car, we can help unlock any vehicle. Using our specialist non-destructive entry techniques, we can safely unlock vehicles without damaging locks, door seals or paintwork. Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly more complex with every new model released, but with the right tools and training, they can still be opened quickly and without damage.

Lost Car Keys Made From Scratch

Losing the only car key you have left can feel like a total nightmare. But we can generate a brand-new key even when no original is available for us to copy from. This includes cutting the blade, programming the transponder chip inside and syncing the remote to your vehicles on board computer. We also remove the old  lost keys from the car’s memory, ensuring they can no longer be used if somebody finds them.

Spare Car Keys Supplied And Programmed

Having a spare car key made can save you a lot of stress and expense later on. We supply and program spare keys for all vehicles. This includes remote keys and proximity smart keys. Our mobile service means we can do this from the comfort of your own home in Chester-le-Street without waiting for a dealership appointment.

Key Fob Repairs And Programming

If your remote fob has stopped responding, has an intermittent fault or needs reprogramming, we can always help. From replacing faulty fobs to resyncing existing remotes, we ensure everything works exactly as it should, just like the original.

Broken Keys Extracted

Older traditional style car keys can snap in door locks, ignitions and boot locks. We carefully remove broken key fragments without damaging the lock, using specialist extraction equipment. Once removed, we can cut and program a replacement key from the back of our vans straight away.

Ignition Problems And Repairs

If your key won’t turn, sticks in the ignition or something just doesn’t feel quite right, it may be an ignition barrel issue rather than the key itself. Where possible, we always repair ignition barrels instead of replacing them to save our customers money. If a replacement is needed, we can fit a new one and configure it to work with your existing keys. We only use genuine ignition barrels and parts meaning a long lasting repair a full parts and labour warranty.

Vehicles We Regularly Work On

We cover the vast majority of vehichle makes and models on UK roads, including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Peugeot, Citroën, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda and many more. From older vehicles to the latest models with smart key systems, we have the tools and experience to work on them all safely.

Clear Pricing With No Surprises

We believe honesty is always the best policy. Before any work begins, we explain the issue, how we are going to fix it and what the cost will be so you know exactly what to expect. Our prices are typically always far lower than main dealers, without ever compromising on quality or security.
