How It Works — Start to Finish.
Four steps from your first call to driving away with a fully working key.
- ✓Wrong equipment risks permanent ECU damage — a mistake that can cost thousands to fix.
- ✓Many cheap services use counterfeit or generic tools that cannot complete the job on modern vehicles.
- ✓We use only genuine, manufacturer-recognised equipment — including SERMI and FDRS authorised systems.
- ✓If a module can't be programmed to your VIN, we tell you before starting — not after charging a callout.
- ✓Every job is covered by full insurance and carried out by DBS-checked technicians.
