VW Transporter T6 2016 All Keys Lost... key unfortunately disappeared while camping at a big event. The AA, an auto electrician and another auto locksmith had come and failed the day before. It did take us a good few hours (avdi / service file fun and games) but no giving up on jobs like these. All sorted with 2 new remote keys.

The unfortunate owners of this 2020 C4 had the increasingly common problem on PSA vehicle systems (including Peugeut, Citreon, Vauxhalls and some Jeep and Fiat with these keys) of a totally dead car that wont turn on. This is a failure of the steering lock module and you may notice some changes when you first turn it on and it unlocks, before it suddenly failed.

3 months later they had taken it to 3 garages, recovered it 4 times, rented various cars and found out that the original steering lock part is impossible to buy currently. Incredibly. While I very much hope this becomes a PSA recall, a new solution was needed for now. After some prior research, we were able to sort the steering lock issue and get the vehicle running again in less than an hour, right in front of the customers' house. As you can imagine the customers were extremely relieved. Sometimes its really not about the money but helping people out in a world of greedy rip-off corporations and professionals who arent able or willing to find solutions.

Daihatsu K-Car with key stuck inside. We had it open in minutes with no fuss and no damage. And cut the customer a spare blade as a freebee.

You won't get this if you smash a window or call your mate with a coat hanger.

BMW 3 series 2009 with CAS3++ ISTAP module... upgraded security. This was a special one as we were the second locksmith to attend the vehicle - the first one had bricked the module and was unable to fix it and left. The car was beyond dead as a result, not even flashers working.

We restored the CAS3 module and then removed the ECU in order to program in 2 new keys. All sorted after some stress for the customer - a reminder that sometimes cheap isn't always best!
