Today we were called to assist a stranded motorist in Wigan who was locked out of their Citroen C4 due to a broken remote key. The only backup key they had was a non-remote spare, but unfortunately it wouldn’t open the door, leaving them unable to access the vehicle at all.
With no working remote and a mechanical key that was failing to operate the lock, the owner had no way of getting back into their car and urgently needed help. That’s when they called Paladin Vehicle Keys.
We attended the job promptly and began by picking open the door lock using non-destructive methods. Once entry was gained, we decoded the lock to ensure an accurate key cut. From there, we cut a new key blade and programmed a brand-new remote key into the vehicle’s system.
The result? A fully functional remote key, giving the customer restored access to their Citroen C4—both manually and remotely. No damage, no delay, and no need for costly dealer recovery.
