How We Work: Quick, Non-Destructive, On Your Doorstep

We aim to make a stressful situation simple and predictable.

Talk to us
You explain the problem, vehicle details, and location. We’ll ask for the make, model, year, and what happened (lost, locked in, snapped, won’t start, etc.).
Clear quote and plan
We provide a no-obligation quote and outline what’s involved: non-destructive entry, key cutting, programming, or diagnostics. If any rare exceptions apply—such as a lock that’s already damaged or a heavily worn ignition—we’ll explain options upfront.
We come to you
Our mobile unit is fully equipped with dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 tools, key cutting machines (including laser cut capability), and specialist locksmith picks. For some vehicles, EEPROM or ECU immobiliser programming may be required; we handle that too.
Back on the road
We test everything thoroughly—key blade, central locking, immobiliser start authorisation—so you can drive away with confidence. You’ll also get advice on keeping a spare and caring for your new key or fob.

Car Key Replacement and Programming in Eastfields

Creating a working replacement key isn’t just about cutting the blade—it’s about syncing the transponder or smart system so the car recognises it. We handle:

Transponder key programming (chip inside the key)
Remote fob programming and repair
Smart/proximity key and push-to-start key replacement
Immobiliser pairing, ECU updates, and EEPROM work for specific models
Laser-cut and high-security key blades

If your fob has suddenly stopped working, or the car shows a key symbol on the dash, we’ll test batteries, signal strength, and immobiliser authorisation to confirm the fault. For most vehicles, programming can be completed roadside in one visit. See our pages on Car Key Replacement and Car Key Programming for more detail.

If you’ve misplaced a key to a Transit, Vivaro, Transporter, Sprinter or similar, we can cut and program replacements at your depot or on site.

Pricing and Value

We don’t publish fixed prices because every job depends on your vehicle, key type and circumstances. Factors include:

Vehicle make, model and year
Key type (standard, remote, smart/proximity)
Service required (unlock only, replacement key from scratch, programming, ignition repair)
Timing and location (standard hours vs urgent call-out)

What we can promise is clear, upfront pricing and excellent value compared with dealer alternatives—especially when you factor in our mobile convenience and quick turnaround. Most customers save both time and money by choosing a trusted local auto locksmith rather than arranging recovery and waiting days for the dealer.

What Local Drivers Say

“Locked my Fiesta by mistake near Eastfields station. They arrived, opened the car without any damage and cut a spare on the spot. Couldn’t ask for more.” — Amira K., CR4, Ford Fiesta

“Lost my only key in Mitcham. They made a new smart key and got the car started at my driveway the same day.” — Pavel D., Eastfields CR4, Nissan Qashqai

FAQs for Eastfields CR4 Auto Locksmith

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?

Yes. We can create a new key from scratch using your vehicle details and specialist tools. We cut a new blade and program the transponder or smart system so the car recognises it. Proof of ownership is required for security.

How long does it take to get a new car key?

Most replacement keys in Eastfields can be supplied and programmed during a single visit. Timing depends on your vehicle, the key type (standard vs smart), and whether immobiliser/EEPROM work is needed. We’ll give you a realistic timescale when you call.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, meaning no damage to doors, windows or weatherstrips. If a lock is already damaged or a previous break-in has compromised it, we’ll explain options and get your approval before any work that might involve drilling or replacement.

Do you operate evenings and weekends in CR4?

Yes. We provide emergency support for lockouts and urgent issues, with efficient mobile coverage across Eastfields and the CR area. If it’s urgent, please call for the quickest response.

My car says “key not detected.” What should I do?

Try a fresh key battery, hold the fob next to the start button (there’s often a backup antenna), and check for mobile devices that might be causing interference. If it still won’t start, we can test the fob, recode it if necessary, and diagnose any vehicle-side immobiliser faults.

Does car insurance cover lost keys in the UK?

Some policies include key cover as standard or as an add-on, while others do not. It’s worth calling your insurer to check. We’re happy to provide an invoice and any details they need. Many customers still choose us for speed and convenience compared to dealer lead times.
