Car Key Replacement and Programming in Taplow
Modern vehicles use transponders and immobilisers to prevent theft. If your key is lost, stolen, or damaged, we can:
- Cut new keys (including laser-cut, high-security blades)
- Program transponder chips and remote locking
- Set up smart keys and proximity keys for push-to-start vehicles
- Sync replacement remotes after battery failure
- Perform ECU/immobiliser programming and EEPROM work when required
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. Without the correct programming, the engine won’t start. We use secure, approved methods and specialist tooling to code keys safely without the expense and delay of a main dealer visit.

Frequently Asked Questions for Taplow Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Taplow if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can create a new key without the original by decoding your locks, cutting a new blade, and programming the transponder and remote to your car’s immobiliser. This is often faster and more convenient than a dealer visit.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where a component is already faulty or a specialist method is required, we will explain the risks and options before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most standard replacements are completed in a single visit. The exact time depends on the make, model, key type (basic, remote, smart/proximity), and whether immobiliser programming or EEPROM work is needed.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Taplow?
Yes. We provide emergency support across Taplow and the wider SL postcode area during evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. For urgent cases, please call.
Can you fix a key fob that suddenly stopped working?
Often, yes. It might be a flat battery, sync issue, or a deeper transponder/immobiliser fault. We diagnose on-site with OBD2 tools and can repair or replace the fob and reprogram it.
Do you work with lease or company vehicles?
Yes. We frequently handle lease, fleet, and commercial vehicles. We can liaise with your fleet manager if required and provide invoices and documentation.
