How Our Mobile Service Works
We bring dealer-level tools to you anywhere in Medmenham and SL7. Here’s what to expect:
-
Assessment and ID check
We confirm your vehicle details (make, model, year, VIN when needed) and verify ownership. We’ll discuss symptoms such as “key not detected,” “key symbol on dash,” or “car key stopped working.” -
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
If you’re locked out, we use specialist lock-picking and air-wedge techniques to open your vehicle without damage. In rare cases where a lock is already damaged or a high-security configuration prevents safe entry, we’ll explain options and costs before any work. -
Diagnostics and programming
We connect via OBD2 diagnostics for transponder and remote key programming. For certain models and immobiliser systems, we can perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to correctly initialise new keys and sync them to your vehicle’s security system. -
Cutting and configuration
We cut laser or standard keys from code or decode, then program the transponder and remote functions. We test central locking, ignition start, and immobiliser pairing. -
Final checks and handover
You’ll receive your new or repaired key, along with guidance on care (e.g., battery type for fobs) and any applicable warranty details on keys and workmanship.

FAQs for Medmenham Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original in Medmenham?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle using key code data, lock decoding, or EEPROM/immobiliser programming. We’ll verify ownership and provide a precise quote before we start.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock is already damaged or a high-security setup prevents safe picking, we’ll explain options and get your approval before any work.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed the same visit, subject to vehicle model and key type. Smart and proximity keys may take longer due to programming and security procedures. Call us for a realistic timescale for your vehicle.
Can you program a used key fob?
Sometimes, depending on the vehicle. Many cars require new, virgin keys for security. We’ll assess compatibility and advise if a used fob can be safely and reliably reprogrammed.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Medmenham?
Yes. We offer emergency support across Medmenham and the SL postcode area, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. See our emergency auto locksmith information.
What affects the cost of car key replacement in SL7?
Key type (basic, remote, smart), vehicle make/model/year, whether all keys are lost, and the time of call (standard vs emergency). For guidance, read about auto locksmith prices in Slough and contact us for an exact quote.
