We cover everything from basic manual keys to sophisticated smart keys with proximity entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Burpham?
We maintain mobile coverage across the GU1 area throughout our operating hours. While we do not promise specific arrival times, our local base and efficient dispatch mean we can typically respond to Burpham calls faster than national competitors.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s lock or ignition, we can decode the necessary information to cut a new key. We then programme the transponder or smart key electronics to match your immobiliser system—no original required.
Do you work on all car brands?
We cover all major manufacturers including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Toyota, Nissan, and many more. Our diagnostic equipment is regularly updated to handle the latest 2024/2025 models.

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, card payments, and bank transfers for your convenience.
