Mobile car key replacement for all makes and models across Ashton-in-Makerfield and Wigan. We cut and programme transponder keys, remote fobs, and smart keys on-site at your vehicle — same day, no recovery truck. Typically 40–60% cheaper than going to your main dealer.
Lost Car Key Replacement
Lost all your car keys? We carry out all-keys-lost (AKL) programming — accessing your vehicle's ECU, erasing existing key data, and programming brand new keys from scratch. Have your V5C logbook ready. Mobile service to wherever your vehicle is in Ashton-in-Makerfield and surrounding areas.
Broken Key Extraction
Key snapped in the door lock or ignition? Our professional extraction tools remove the broken fragment cleanly without damaging the barrel. Once extracted, we can cut and programme a replacement key on the same visit for most makes and models across Ashton-in-Makerfield.
Ignition Repair & Replacement
Stiff ignition, key won't turn, or barrel failed completely? We diagnose and repair ignition barrels on-site. Where possible, the new barrel is re-pinned to work with your existing key. Full replacement available for all common makes and models in Ashton-in-Makerfield and Wigan.
Transponder Key Programming
Every car built since 1995 uses a transponder chip that must be programmed to start the engine. Using AUTEL and Xhorse diagnostic equipment, we programme transponder keys to all common UK makes and models on-site — key addition, AKL, and immobiliser resets covered.
Key Fob Programming
Remote key fob not working? We re-sync, repair, or replace key fobs for all makes including Vauxhall, Ford, VW, BMW, Audi, Toyota, and Nissan. Lost pairing, flat battery, or physical damage — diagnosed and fixed on-site in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Haydock, Leigh, and surrounding areas.

Proximity keys and push-button start systems require specialist diagnostic programming. We supply and programme smart keys for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Ford, Toyota, and other brands. Mobile service to your vehicle in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Newton-le-Willows, Garswood, Billinge, and beyond.
Remote Key Repair
Before replacing a remote key, it's worth having it assessed — the transponder and blade are often fine while only the remote circuit has failed. We diagnose the root cause and advise whether repair (re-sync, battery, circuit repair) or replacement is the most cost-effective solution.
