FAQs For Subaru Drivers In Dartford
Can you make a Subaru key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new key for your Subaru even if you’ve lost the original. We decode your locks, cut a matching key (including laser cut), and program it to the immobiliser using OBD2 or EEPROM methods, depending on model and year.
My Subaru says “key not detected.” What should I do?
Try a fresh key battery and hold the fob closer to the start button. If the message persists, it could be a fob, antenna, or immobiliser issue. We can diagnose the fault on site with dealer-level equipment and provide a working solution, from key fob repair to reprogramming.
Can you unlock my Subaru without damage?
In most cases, yes. We use non-destructive methods to open Subarus safely. If a lock is severely damaged and drilling is the only option, we’ll explain the risks and costs first and replace the component if required.
How long does Subaru key replacement take?
Often within a single visit. Many Subaru keys can be cut and programmed at the roadside the same day, subject to model and parts availability. We’ll give a realistic timeframe when you call.
Is a mobile auto locksmith cheaper and faster than a dealer?
In many scenarios, yes. We come to you, so there’s no recovery. We can often supply and program Subaru keys the same day, which reduces downtime. For guidance on costs, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Dartford.
