Car Key Programming and Advanced Diagnostics

Modern vehicles use immobiliser systems with transponder chips and smart/proximity keys. Our Keston mobile locksmiths use dealer-level tools to code new keys and resolve “key not detected” issues on your driveway:

Transponder key programming via OBD2
Smart key and proximity key programming for push-to-start vehicles
ECU/immobiliser pairing and EEPROM solutions where required
Remote key fob programming and repair

A transponder is a small chip in your key that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. If it’s not recognised, the car won’t start. We diagnose and fix these problems at the roadside, saving you a tow to the dealer. Learn more about our car key programming.

Non-Destructive Entry, With Clear Exceptions

We prioritise non-destructive methods using specialist lock picks, air wedges, and dealer-level decoding tools. In rare cases (for example, some high-security locks that have failed internally), minimal drilling or component replacement may be necessary. If that’s the safest option, we’ll explain it clearly and get your approval before any work begins.

FAQs for Keston Drivers

Can you make a car key without the original?

Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original by decoding the lock or using VIN/immobiliser data with dealer-level tools. For lost keys, we can also erase old keys from the system for security.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a rare destructive method is the only safe solution due to a failed component or security design, we’ll explain the reason and cost first.

How long does it take to get a new car key in Keston?

Many replacements are completed the same day, often in a single visit. Timing depends on your vehicle make/model, key type (remote, smart/proximity), and whether keys are completely lost.

Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles?

Yes. We offer key cutting, programming, unlocking, and lock/ignition repairs for vans and light commercials, including fleets. See our van and commercial locksmith service.

My key fob is not working—do I need a new one?

Not always. Sometimes it’s a battery or a worn button. We can test, repair, or reprogram your fob on-site and advise if a new remote is more cost-effective. Learn more about key fob not working issues.

Do you operate evenings and weekends?

We provide emergency support out of hours across the BR postcode area. If you need urgent help now, please Call 020 8103 1180 or see our emergency auto locksmith in Bromley.
