Key and remote services

The service catalogue covers the full life cycle of a vehicle key, from creation to repair:

• Key cloning and cutting: cutting of most types of key blade from an existing pattern.
• Key repairs: replacement of buttons, cases, blades or complete replacement when necessary.
• Key and remote programming on modern vehicles.
• Modification of certain keys.
• Resyncing of keys, remotes and fobs.
• Diagnostics and testing of the ability of keys to send and receive information from the vehicle.
• Battery replacement, including rechargeable batteries for keys of this type, with supply and fitting.
• Accessories: coloured silicone protectors for keys, remotes and fobs, and replacement key rings.

Types of key handled

The workshop works with the main families of car keys: physical blades, remotes, fobs, key cards, flip keys and keyless smart keys. The company recommends cutting a spare key when only one is available, since losing the only key is more expensive and inconvenient than duplicating or cloning it, and notes that this work is cheaper than ordering a new one from the dealership.

Compatibility with security systems

The company warns that manufacturers use different security systems even for the same year, make and model, which requires continuous software and equipment updates. It notes that brands such as Ford, Vauxhall, Mazda or Renault use one security system for months or years, but during that period they may produce vehicles with a different system to test it for the future, and that other manufacturers share a system in certain vehicles, as is the case with Ford, Mazda and Jaguar.

Location and coverage

The workshop is in Ammanford, in south-west Wales, and the company states that it is accessible from Carmarthen, Cross Hands, Llanelli, Swansea, Neath, as well as from Cardiff, Newport and Bristol via the M4. The company specifies that it currently does not offer roadside assistance.
