FAQs For Subaru Keys And Locks
Can you make a Subaru key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key even if all keys are lost by decoding the lock or using authorised code sources, then cutting and programming a compatible Subaru key or smart fob.
My Subaru won’t detect the smart key—what should I do?
First, try a fresh battery in the fob and hold the fob close to the start button. If it still won’t detect, it could be a key programming or antenna/immobiliser issue. We can diagnose on-site using OBD2 diagnostics and reprogram the key if needed.
How long does Subaru key programming take?
For most Subaru models, cutting and programming a replacement or spare key takes around 30–60 minutes on-site once we arrive, subject to model/year and immobiliser type.
Will you damage my Subaru when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. If a lock is badly damaged and drilling is the only safe route, we’ll explain the situation and costs before proceeding, and we’ll replace the component as required.
Can you delete stolen Subaru keys from the system?
Yes. We can remove lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser memory and supply new keys, preventing the missing key from starting or unlocking the vehicle.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide mobile coverage across Romford and RM postcodes with efficient dispatch, including evenings and weekends for emergencies. See our dedicated emergency auto locksmith in Romford page if you need urgent help.
