Overview

Car key programming and coding across the North West

Whether you have bought a key online or need a new remote coded, we program transponder, remote and smart keys to your vehicle on-site with dealer-level diagnostics, from £84.95 anywhere in the North West.

Supplied by us or by you

We can supply and program a new key, or code a compatible key you have already bought, matching it to your immobiliser so it starts the engine and works the central locking. Push-to-start and proximity smart keys are included, and we test every function before we leave.

The right kit for every make

Our vans carry professional programming equipment covering virtually every manufacturer, from Manchester to Chester. If you have lost every key we run our full all keys lost service, and for a simple back-up a spare key is the cheapest option.

FAQs

Common questions

Key programming starts from £84.95. If you also need us to supply the key, we will quote the key plus programming together so you know the full price up front.

Yes, provided it is the correct type for your vehicle. We code compatible keys and remotes bought online to your immobiliser on-site. If you are unsure what to buy, we can supply the right key instead and program it for you.

Cutting shapes the metal blade to turn your locks, while programming electronically codes the transponder and remote to your car so it disarms the immobiliser and starts the engine. Most modern keys need both, and we do both on-site.

Yes. We program proximity smart keys and keyless push-to-start fobs as well as traditional transponder and remote keys, using dealer-level diagnostic equipment.

Most key programming is completed in around 20 to 45 minutes at your location. More complex or high-security vehicles can take a little longer.

Not normally. Adding a spare key leaves your other keys working as before. The exception is an all keys lost job, where we deliberately wipe missing keys for your security.

Our equipment covers virtually every manufacturer on the road, from common family cars and vans to prestige models. If we cannot code your specific vehicle we will tell you before any charge.

Yes, we are fully mobile across the North West and program keys at your home, work or the roadside, so there is no trip to a dealer and no waiting for an appointment.
