We were recently called out to assist a customer in Skelmersdale who was having serious issues with their 2011 Citroën DS3. The problem? Their only car key had broken, and it was no longer able to start the engine — effectively leaving them stranded.
At Paladin Vehicle Keys, we understand how stressful it is when your only key fails. That’s why we offer a fast, mobile car key replacement service throughout the North West, including Skelmersdale. Once on-site, we assessed the broken key and confirmed that the internal transponder chip was damaged beyond repair. Without this chip, the car’s immobiliser system won’t allow the engine to start.
Thankfully, we had the correct remote key in stock. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we connected to the vehicle and programmed a brand-new remote key, fully compatible with the car’s immobiliser and central locking systems. We also cut a new key blade to match the original locks precisely.
Once the programming and cutting were complete, we tested everything — the remote locking, manual entry, and most importantly, engine start. Everything worked perfectly, and the customer was relieved to be back on the road with a fully functioning key once again.
