How We Solve Emergencies Safely And Efficiently

Every emergency is different. Here’s how we typically handle the most common call‑outs:

  • Locked keys in car/boot
    We use non‑destructive entry techniques with professional lock picks, air wedges and lishi tools to open your vehicle without damage. For deadlocked vehicles, we use advanced decoding to access safely.

  • Key snapped or stuck in lock/ignition
    We extract broken blades using specialist extractors, then cut and program a replacement key on the spot. If the ignition lock is damaged, we can complete on‑site car ignition repair or advise on replacement options.

  • Lost or stolen keys
    We can create a new key without the original by decoding the lock or using EEPROM techniques on some models. We then program the transponder to your immobiliser, and can erase old keys from the system so lost/stolen keys won’t start the car.

  • Key fob not working
    We test the fob, replace the car key battery if needed, repair or replace the remote, and complete key fob programming service to restore locking and starting. We handle proximity and smart keys, push‑to‑start systems, and remote central locking repair.

  • Vehicle won’t start, immobiliser light
    We carry OBD2 diagnostics and can perform ECU/immobiliser programming or transponder key programming to sync the system. For certain brands, we use EEPROM key programming where required.

A quick note on non‑destructive methods
Our first priority is to gain entry and resolve your issue without damage. Very rarely, where locks are severely damaged or security features prohibit non‑destructive access, we’ll explain the situation and agree the safest alternative before proceeding.
