How Our Van & Commercial Service Works
We minimise downtime with a clear, efficient process designed around your schedule:
-
Quick Assessment
Call us or email details of the vehicle (make, model, year, registration) and the issue. We’ll confirm what’s needed and arrange a convenient visit to your site, depot, or roadside location in Redhill or anywhere across the RH area. -
On-Site Diagnostics and Access
Our mobile unit arrives equipped with dealer-level diagnostics and specialist tools. For lockouts, we prioritise non-destructive entry methods. If a rare destructive method is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock), we’ll explain options and costs first and seek your approval. -
Cutting, Programming, or Repairs
We cut and program keys on site using OBD2 diagnostics, and for certain models we perform EEPROM or immobiliser/ECU programming. We can also repair or replace faulty locks and ignitions, and code out lost or stolen keys so they no longer start the vehicle. -
Testing and Handover
We test every function: lock/unlock, remote buttons, ignition start, and central locking. You receive clear guidance for drivers, warranty details, and an invoice suitable for your records.
Tools, Training, and Technical Capability
Our technicians bring advanced equipment and practical, brand-specific knowledge:
- Dealer-level diagnostics for leading commercial brands

- EEPROM key programming and ECU/immobiliser programming for complex cases
- Precision key cutting including laser-cut, high-security, and flip keys
- Non-destructive entry tools and techniques to protect doors and seals

FAQs
Can you make a new van key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original by reading vehicle data, cutting a matching key blade, and coding a new transponder or smart key. Methods vary by make and model; we use OBD2 diagnostics and, where required, EEPROM/immobiliser programming.
Will you damage our van when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and protect trims and seals as we work. On rare occasions where a lock is already damaged or severely jammed, a destructive method may be the only option; we’ll explain the situation, outline alternatives, and gain your approval first.
Can you remove a broken key from the door or ignition?
Yes. We carry specialist extraction tools for broken or snapped keys in both door locks and ignition barrels. If the ignition has been damaged, we can repair or replace components and supply a working key the same day in most cases.
Do you provide spare keys for fleets and multiple drivers?
Absolutely. We can produce multiple spare keys in one visit, program them to each vehicle, and provide documentation for your records. This is often more efficient than booking each vehicle with a dealer.
Our remote fob stopped working—do we need a whole new key?
Not always. Sometimes a battery, button pad, or circuit repair solves the issue. We’ll test the fob, check central locking and immobiliser responses, and advise whether a repair or replacement is best value.
Can you deprogram keys that have been lost or not returned by a former driver?
Yes. We can remove lost or unreturned keys from the vehicle’s system so they will no longer start the engine, and then program new keys for your current drivers.
Which van brands do you cover?
We cover all major UK commercial brands, including Ford (Transit/Custom), Vauxhall (Vivaro/Movano), VW (Transporter/Crafter), Mercedes (Sprinter/Vito), Renault (Trafic/Master), Peugeot (Expert/Boxer), Citroën (Dispatch/Relay), Nissan (Primastar/Interstar), Toyota (Proace), and more. For specifics, view the brands we cover.
How quickly can you get us back on the road?
We prioritise commercial and fleet downtime and dispatch efficiently across RH postcodes. While we don’t promise specific arrival times, our mobile units are equipped to complete most jobs in a single visit.
