Subaru Key Replacement And Programming Made Simple

Losing or damaging your Subaru key is stressful. Our mobile service brings the tools and expertise to you, avoiding delays and recovery fees associated with main dealers.

Here’s how we solve Subaru key problems quickly:

1. Secure identification and assessment
   We confirm vehicle ownership and assess your Subaru’s immobiliser system. Most modern Subarus use encrypted transponders and keyless entry systems that require precise programming.

2. Non-destructive vehicle entry (where needed)
   If you’re locked out, we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, using specialist lock tools and air wedges to protect your paintwork, glass, and weather seals. In rare cases where drilling or component removal is unavoidable (for example, a heavily damaged lock), we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.

3. Dealer-level diagnostics and programming

• OBD2 key programming for many Subaru models using dealer-level diagnostic tools
• EEPROM/ECU programming for models where OBD programming is restricted or keys are all lost
• Transponder key programming, remote key programming, and smart/proximity key pairing
• Sync and initialise remote central locking, fix keyless start detection issues, and clear immobiliser faults

4. Precision cutting and testing

• Laser-cut and standard key blade cutting on our mobile key machines
• High-security Subaru profiles reproduced from code or lock decoding
• Full function test: remote lock/unlock, boot release, and engine start

5. Handover and warranty
   We back our workmanship and keys with clear guarantees. You’ll receive practical aftercare advice to avoid future problems.
