Car Key Replacement and Programming In Sutton-at-Hone
Modern cars use immobilisers and transponders to prevent theft. That means most keys need programming to your vehicle’s ECU (engine control unit). We handle this at your location using dealer-level equipment:
- OBD2 key programming for most makes and models
- EEPROM programming for advanced or lost-all-keys situations on select vehicles
- ECU and immobiliser programming, including PIN code retrieval where required
- Smart key programming and proximity/push-to-start key replacement
- Remote key programming and flip key repair
We cover popular UK brands such as Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Land Rover, Mini, and more. To explore supported makes, see the full list on our brands we cover page.
For keys that have failed or fobs that have died, we can diagnose whether you need a simple battery replacement, key fob repair, or full reprogramming. If your fob has suddenly stopped, read more on key fob not working.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key in Sutton-at-Hone if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new key without the original using your vehicle’s security data. This may involve OBD2 programming and, in some cases, EEPROM techniques. We’ll confirm what’s needed based on your make and model.
Will unlocking my car damage the locks or door?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If we ever foresee a risk of minor damage due to a pre-existing fault or specific anti-theft configuration, we’ll explain it clearly and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed in a single visit, typically within the same appointment. Timings vary based on the vehicle, key type, and whether all keys are lost. Call us with your reg and model for an accurate timeframe.
Do you work with smart keys and push-to-start systems?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, proximity keys, and push-to-start systems for a wide range of makes, including Ford, VW, BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz.
My key fob stopped working outside my house—do I need a new key?
Not always. Sometimes it’s just a flat fob battery or a desynchronised remote. We’ll test the fob, check the car’s receiver and immobiliser, and advise whether a simple repair or full reprogramming is needed. See more on key fob not working.
Can you help with vans and commercial vehicles in DA4?
Yes, we support vans and fleets across Sutton-at-Hone and the wider Dartford area, including Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Vauxhall Vivaro, VW Transporter and more. See our van and commercial locksmith service.
