What key work do you cover?

Spare remote keys supplied and programmed, replacement fobs for lost or broken units, transponder chip coding, central-locking remote pairing, 'key not detected' and intermittent-start faults, plus key-battery and housing refreshes. We cover most European, Japanese and Korean platforms — VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and more.

Proof of ownership — always required

For your protection and ours, we only ever program keys with proof of ownership: photo ID plus the V5 logbook (or a sales invoice in your name) matched to the vehicle. No documents, no key — no exceptions. It's the same standard a main dealer applies, and it protects you if anyone ever claims otherwise.

Why not just go to the dealer?

Dealers quote £200–£400 for a programmed spare and often keep the car for half a day. We come to you with dealer-grade programming tools (Autologic, ODIS, VCDS), supply a quality aftermarket or OEM fob, and code it on your driveway in under 90 minutes — typically 40–60% cheaper with zero downtime.

Lost your only key?

All-keys-lost jobs are more involved — the immobiliser has to be accessed before new keys can be coded. We cover many platforms for this; message us your registration and we'll tell you honestly whether your vehicle is one we can complete as a mobile job, and exactly what it will cost before we set off.

Car Keys across Nottingham

Nottingham drivers spend a lot of time crawling the ring road and then opening up on the A52 or M1 — exactly the mix a well-written Stage 1 map improves. We see huge numbers of 2.0 TDI Golfs, 320ds and Transit Customs around NG postcodes, so the calibrations we write for them are refined over hundreds of local data-logs rather than pulled from a generic file database. Tradespeople in Bulwell and Clifton book us for van torque; commuters in Mapperley and Arnold want smoother mid-range for the hills; and enthusiasts in Wollaton and West Bridgford want Stage 2 files with proper before/after logging.

We come to you

Pre-map health check

Full OBD diagnostic scan and live-data baseline log. If the DPF, EGR, turbo or sensors show a problem, we tell you before writing anything.

04

Read & archive your original file

Your factory ECU file is read and archived securely so the car can be returned to stock at any time — before a dealer visit or when you sell.

05

VIN-specific calibration written

The remap is written for your exact ECU, engine and hardware — fuelling, boost, torque limiters and timing adjusted within safe factory tolerances.

06

Logged verification drive

A post-map road test on local Nottingham roads with live data-logging. You see the before/after figures and we check knock, EGTs, boost and fuel trims are all where they should be.
