How Our Mazda Locksmith Process Works
- Assessment and ID check
- We confirm the vehicle details (VIN, model, year) and verify ownership for your security.
- Non-destructive entry where required
- If you’re locked out, we use dedicated picks and air wedges for safe entry wherever possible. We only consider drilling or component removal in rare cases and always explain options first.
- Diagnostics and coding
- Using OBD2 diagnostics and Mazda-compatible software, we pair new keys/fobs to your immobiliser. For some models that block OBD programming or where keys are all lost, we perform EEPROM programming at the vehicle to extract data and code keys securely.
- Cutting and testing
- We cut high-accuracy key blades, including laser cut keys, and test remote locking, central locking, ignition start, and proximity detection.
- Final checks and advice
- We confirm everything works, provide usage guidance, and can disable lost/stolen keys from the system for added security.

FAQs: Mazda Keys And Locks
Can you make a new Mazda key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Mazda key from scratch using your vehicle’s immobiliser data. Depending on the model and year, we use OBD2 programming or EEPROM techniques when keys are all lost.
Will you damage my Mazda when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare event a component needs drilling or removal, we’ll explain the reason, risks, and alternatives before any work begins.
How long does Mazda key programming take?
Most Mazda replacements or spare keys are completed in one visit, often within a single appointment. Timing depends on the model, key type, and whether all keys are lost.
Can you disable my lost or stolen Mazda key?
Yes. We can delete lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start the vehicle, and then supply and program new keys for you.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Emergency support is available, and we operate flexible hours to assist when you need us most. For urgent help now, please see our emergency auto locksmith in Dartford.
Is it cheaper than going to a Mazda dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing, lead times, and convenience. We’re a mobile service, so we complete the work at your location. For guidance on value, see our auto locksmith prices in Dartford.
