At Locksmith Kev, we specialise in key cloning, programming, and renewal services for a wide range of vehicles, providing cost-effective solutions using the latest tools. Whether you need a spare key, a replacement, or a renewed proximity key, we’ve got you covered. Our services use OBD2 programming and cloning methods, avoiding complex EEPROM workto ensure a fast, reliable, and affordable process.

Services We Offer

1. Key Cloning and Programming

We provide straightforward key duplication and programming for compatible vehicles, ensuring quick turnaround times and hassle-free service.

• How It Works: Using OBD2 or straight cloning, we program or duplicate your key to ensure it works seamlessly with your vehicle.
