Car key programming
At My Car Key Hero, we receive hundreds of calls throughout the day with issues with car key programming. Our highly skilled Auto Locksmiths carry out work on cars every day and are professionals at car key programming. Locksmiths require equipment such as diagnostic tools, key programmers, and lock Picks tools in their vans, allowing them to program any key onto any car and provide you with brand-new keys anywhere in the UK. Specialised equipment is essential for programming new keys onto vehicles; some cars, such as Mercedes, Range Rover, and Jaguar, need further training to complete the job due to removing parts from the cars to add new keys or reprogram existing keys. All our training takes place internally in our very own academy.
