How Our Mobile Service Works
-
Call or message us
Tell us your location (e.g., N3, Church End), vehicle make/model/year, and the problem. -
We come to you
A fully equipped mobile technician arrives with cutting, programming and diagnostic tools—no need to tow to a dealer. -
Your car is ready
We cut and program new keys, open the vehicle non-destructively wherever possible, or repair locks/ignition so you can drive away.
We avoid drilling or damage. In rare cases where destructive methods are the only safe option (for example, severely damaged locks), we’ll explain the risks and costs clearly before starting.
Dealer-Level Tools and Training
Your car’s immobiliser is sophisticated. We match it with:
- OBD2 key programming for transponder and remote keys
- EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming where required on select models
- Laser-cut and high-security key cutting from code or lock
- Advanced diagnostics for central locking faults and no-start issues
From Ford and Vauxhall to BMW, Mercedes, Audi and VW, we handle both everyday and premium vehicles, as well as vans and commercial fleets operating around Church End and North Finchley.

Security, Safety and Your Vehicle
Modern vehicles rely on immobilisers and coded keys to deter theft. A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser; if they don’t match, the car won’t start. Our anti-theft key programming pairs new keys securely to your vehicle and we can disable missing keys where required, a sensible step after a lost or stolen key incident.
We also advise on simple security upgrades and best practice—for example, keeping your spare in a safe place, or using a signal-blocking pouch for keyless entry fobs.
Honest, Transparent Guidance
- No hard sell—just clear options and what they’ll cost
- We explain any risks before work begins and seek your approval
- If a dealer-only procedure is genuinely the best route, we’ll tell you

Your Questions Answered
Can you make a car key without the original in Church End?
Yes. We can cut and program a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. Our car key replacement North London service is fully mobile.
Will unlocking my car damage the door or locks?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, using specialist tools and techniques. If there’s a rare case where drilling a lock is unavoidable, we will explain this first and replace what’s necessary.
My key won’t start the car and a key light is on—what now?
This often indicates a transponder or immobiliser pairing issue. We can diagnose on-site with OBD2 tools and provide car key programming or immobiliser re-synchronisation.
I’ve locked my keys in the boot at the shops—can you help?
