Lost Or Stolen Car Keys In ME18
Losing your only key is stressful, but we can create a new key without the original. Depending on your vehicle, we access the immobiliser data via OBD2 or, for certain models and security systems, EEPROM methods. We can also erase the lost or stolen key from your car’s memory so it can’t be used to start the vehicle—an important security step after theft. Ask about immobiliser recoding and ECU/immobiliser programming for added peace of mind.

Spare Car Keys For Peace Of Mind
A spare key saves time, money, and stress. We cut and program spare transponder keys, remotes, and smart/proximity keys for most makes and models on your driveway in Mereworth or at your workplace in Kings Hill or West Malling. We handle high-security laser cut keys and flip keys, and can refurbish worn cases and buttons to extend your key’s life.
Key Fobs, Transponders, And Smart Keys

- Smart/Proximity Key Programming: For push-to-start systems and keyless entry
