Security, Safety, and Modern Technology
Modern vehicles use immobiliser systems to prevent theft. Your key contains a transponder—essentially a tiny chip that “talks” to your car. If the chip isn’t recognised, the car won’t start. Our technicians are trained in:
- Transponder and smart key programming
- Proximity and push-to-start systems
- Remote central locking repair and diagnostics
- ECU/immobiliser programming and EEPROM for certain models
- High-security and laser-cut key production
If your key fob has stopped working suddenly, we’ll test the battery, check for sync issues, and reprogram or replace components as needed. For more on this, see key fob not working.
Common Problems We Fix in TW16
- Lost or stolen car keys and need a new set fast
