How Our Service Works
-

Our Romford-based team dispatches to Hainault and nearby RM areas quickly. The van arrives fully equipped with cutting machines, key stock, OBD2 diagnostics, EEPROM tools for advanced jobs, and lock-picking kits for non-destructive entry. -
Non-destructive entry or key creation
- Lockouts: We use specialist picks, air wedges, and manufacturer-specific methods to open your vehicle without damage wherever possible.

We test the key in the doors, ignition, and remote functions; confirm central locking and start/stop operation. You get clear aftercare advice and a warranty on workmanship and keys.
