How We Solve Subaru Key and Lock Problems
We bring a fully equipped, mobile workshop to you anywhere in Redhill or across the RH postcode area. Our process is efficient, secure, and transparent.
-
Assessment and ID verification
- We confirm your vehicle details (VIN, model, year) and verify ownership.
- We diagnose faults such as a failed key fob, flat fob battery, or immobiliser sync issues.
-
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
- For lockouts, we use professional lock-picking and air wedge tools to open your Subaru without damage.
- If a key has snapped, we carry out broken key extraction with specialist tools.
- Rare exceptions (e.g., severely damaged locks) are explained clearly before any work.
-
Subaru car key replacement and cutting
- We cut high-precision laser or standard blades on-site, matched to your Subaru’s locks.
- For worn locks, we can code a key to the original key cuts rather than copying wear.
-
Subaru car key programming
- We program transponder chips and remote functions using dealer-level equipment via OBD2.
- For certain models, we perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming where needed.
- We handle proximity keys, smart keys, and push-to-start systems safely and securely.
-
Subaru key and fob repair options
- Replacement key blades, flip key repair, and battery replacement where viable.
- We fix button pads and housings when economical; otherwise we provide new keys/fobs.
-
Ignition and lock repairs
- If your Subaru key won’t turn, we can service or replace the ignition cylinder and re-key to match your existing keys.
- We also address central locking and door lock faults.
All work is covered by our workmanship guarantee, and new keys/fobs come with a warranty.

FAQs
Can you make a Subaru key without the original?
Yes. We can create and programme a new Subaru key from scratch without the original. We verify ownership and use your Subaru’s VIN and lock/immobiliser data to cut and code a working key. This is a common service for lost keys.
Will you damage my Subaru when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, such as professional lock-picking and air wedges. In rare cases where a component is already damaged or a specific method is unavoidable, we explain options and costs before proceeding.
How long does Subaru key programming take?
Most Subaru key replacements and programming are completed during a single mobile visit, often within the hour once we arrive. Times can vary with model, year, and whether EEPROM/immobiliser programming is required.
Can you programme a Subaru smart/proximity key?
Absolutely. We programme smart keys and push-to-start systems on many Subaru models using dealer-level diagnostics. If your vehicle needs EEPROM or ECU work, we have the tools and training to complete it on-site.
My Subaru key fob stopped working. Do I need a new key?
Not always. Sometimes a simple fob battery replacement or a minor repair to the buttons or housing can fix the issue. We’ll test the fob, check for immobiliser sync, and advise whether repair or replacement is the best value.
Is a locksmith faster than a Subaru dealer for new keys?
In most cases, yes. As a mobile service we come to you, rather than you arranging recovery and waiting for dealer parts. We cut and programme keys on-site, which is often the quickest and most convenient option.
