How Our Process Works in Warlingham
- Contact us for a free quote: We’ll ask a few simple questions—vehicle make, model, year, and the issue. Photos can help but aren’t essential.
- We come to you: A fully equipped mobile unit arrives at your Warlingham location. We operate across CR6 and nearby areas including Whyteleafe, Caterham, Woldingham, and Sanderstead.
- Assessment and action: We confirm the fault, explain the plan, and agree the cost before work starts. Non‑destructive methods are used wherever possible.
- Keys cut and programmed: If a new key is needed, we’ll cut and program it on the spot, test all functions (buttons, starting, immobiliser), and show you it working.
- Payment and warranty: Simple, transparent billing, with warranties on keys and workmanship for your peace of mind.
Tools, Training, and Non‑Destructive Methods
We invest in the same calibre of tools and training you’d expect from a main dealer—without the wait or hassle:
- Dealer‑level diagnostics for immobilisers and central locking (OBD2)
- Advanced EEPROM techniques for certain models where data access is required
- ECU/Immobiliser programming for paired modules and key learning
- Lishi/decoding tools for precise, non‑destructive vehicle entry
- Laser key cutting, key blade replacement, and high‑security key duplication
- Software updates and remote programming for modern fobs
A quick explanation: a transponder is a tiny chip in your key that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. If the two don’t match, the car won’t start. Our job is to ensure your new or existing key is correctly programmed, so everything works seamlessly.

Clear Pricing, Real Value
Every car, key type, and situation is different, so we don’t publish a fixed price list. The final cost depends on the vehicle make/model/year, the type of key (basic, remote, smart/proximity), what service is required (unlocking vs creating a key from scratch), and the time (standard hours vs emergency).

FAQs
Can you make a new car key in Warlingham without the original?
Yes. We can create a key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. Using dealer‑level diagnostics (and EEPROM methods where required), we generate and program a new transponder key or smart key that starts the car and operates the remote features.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non‑destructive entry techniques wherever possible. That means specialist picks and decoding tools designed for your locks, avoiding damage to paintwork, glass, or seals. In rare cases—such as severe lock damage or prior tampering—drilling or part replacement may be necessary, but we’ll explain options and get approval before any such work.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in CR6?
Yes. We provide emergency support outside standard hours. If you’re locked out or your key has failed suddenly, call us and we’ll dispatch a mobile technician across Warlingham and nearby areas.
My car says “Key not detected.” Can you help?
Absolutely. This usually points to a key fob battery fault, a transponder/immobiliser issue, or communication problems. We can test the fob, replace its battery if needed, and reprogram or pair the key using OBD2 diagnostics. If necessary, we can program a new key on site.
I’ve had my bag stolen with my car keys inside—what should I do?
If your keys were stolen, we can erase them from your vehicle’s memory so they no longer start the car, then supply and program new keys. We can also rekey locks if required. Many insurers cover stolen keys—check your policy and ask us for an itemised invoice for your claim.
How long does it take to get a new key made?
In many cases, we can supply, cut, and program a new key during a single visit. The time varies by make and model and whether the vehicle requires advanced procedures (such as EEPROM). We’ll give you a realistic time estimate once we’ve identified your car and the type of key you need.
