Car Key Replacement and Programming in Hayes
Modern vehicles rely on immobiliser systems. That means a new key usually needs both cutting and coding to your car’s ECU. We handle that at the roadside across Hayes:
- Transponder key programming using OBD2 diagnostics
- Smart key programming for push-to-start vehicles
- Remote key programming and proximity key replacement
- EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming for specific models
- Laser-cut and high-security keys produced on site
In simple terms, the transponder is a tiny chip in your key that “talks” to the car. Without correct programming, the engine won’t start. We use dealer-level diagnostics and up-to-date software to code new keys without towing your car to a dealership. For certain brands and 2024/2025 models, EEPROM key programming or ECU synchronisation may be required—we’re trained and equipped for those too.
If you’re weighing dealer vs locksmith key replacement, our mobile service is typically faster, more convenient, and competitively priced, with no need to leave your car in a workshop. You can read about value and factors on our auto locksmith prices in Uxbridge page.

FAQs for Drivers in Hayes
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can decode the lock, cut a new blade, and program a new transponder or smart key to your vehicle in Hayes. On many models we can also remove lost keys from the system so they no longer start the car.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where a lock is severely damaged or a design prevents non-destructive entry, we will explain the options and costs before any work.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed during a single visit, typically within one appointment window. Times vary by make, model, and whether immobiliser coding or EEPROM work is required.
Can you program a used car key fob?
Sometimes. Many vehicles lock a fob to the original car. We’ll advise whether reprogramming a used fob is possible for your specific make and year, and provide alternatives if not.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Hayes?
Yes, we provide emergency support and flexible scheduling to suit your situation. For urgent issues like a car lockout or lost only key, call us for immediate assistance.
Is a mobile locksmith cheaper than the dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing, waiting times, and main dealer labour. See factors that affect cost on our auto locksmith prices in Uxbridge page and get a tailored quote for Hayes.
