How We Solve Your Car Key Problem
Our aim is to get you back on the road with minimal fuss. Here’s how we work in Northolt:

Assessment and Identification
We confirm your vehicle details (make, model, year, and VIN where needed) and the symptoms: lost keys, lockout, broken key, or programming issue. -
Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible

On-Site Key Cutting and Coding
Using dealer-level equipment, we cut new keys and program transponders and remotes at your location. For many vehicles we connect via OBD2 for key programming; for certain models and immobiliser systems we can undertake EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming when required. -
Testing and Handover
We test the new key for door locking, remote functions, and starting. You’ll receive clear usage advice, aftercare tips, and warranty details. -
Optional Spare Key
Often, adding a spare key on the same visit saves money and ensures you’re never stuck again.

FAQs for Northolt Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our vehicle unlocking is non-destructive wherever possible. We use specialist tools suited to your make and model. If an exception applies due to prior damage or specific security features, we’ll explain options before any work.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in a single visit. Timing depends on your make, model, key type (basic, remote, or smart/proximity), and whether we’re also erasing lost keys for security.
Can you program a smart key or proximity key in Northolt?
Absolutely. We provide smart key programming and proximity key replacement for many push-to-start vehicles from brands such as Ford, VW, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, and more.
