How Our Linton Mobile Service Works

Quick Assessment
Call us or request a call-back. We’ll confirm your vehicle details (make, model, year, fuel type) and the problem you’re facing. This helps us prepare the correct key blades, remotes, or diagnostic kit. -
We Come To You
A fully equipped mobile unit attends your location in Linton or anywhere in ME17. We carry dealer-level diagnostics, key cutting machines, and programming tools to complete work on-site. -
Non-Destructive Entry First
For lockouts, we use professional non-destructive techniques wherever possible. We’ll explain any exceptions (for example, if a severely worn lock necessitates alternative methods). -
Cut, Code, Test
We cut your key and carry out transponder or smart key programming. Using OBD2 diagnostic access and, if necessary, EEPROM or immobiliser programming, we ensure your new key works seamlessly. We then test lock/unlock, boot, and engine start. -
