When You Need a Subaru Auto Locksmith
Modern Subaru keys and immobiliser systems are secure and reliable, but when something goes wrong it can leave you stranded. Typical situations where drivers call us include:
- Lost Subaru car keys in Stratford, Leyton, Barking or nearby
- Locked keys in your Subaru in a supermarket or station car park
- Subaru smart key not detected when you press the start button
- Subaru remote key fob not responding or only working sometimes
- Subaru key snapped in the door or ignition barrel
- Central locking problems on one or more doors
- Worn or damaged Subaru key that only works if you “wiggle” it
Common Subaru Key And Lock Problems We Solve
We regularly help Subaru owners across East London with:
-
Lost or stolen Subaru keys
We can create new Subaru keys from scratch, erase the missing keys from the immobiliser for security, and programme new remotes so only your new keys start the car. If your keys have been stolen, this is far safer than just cutting a new blade. -
Locked out of your Subaru
If you are locked out of your Subaru in areas such as Canary Wharf, Hackney Central or Forest Gate, we use specialist non‑destructive entry tools to open your vehicle without damage in the vast majority of cases. -
Subaru key not working or not recognised
The transponder chip inside the key or smart fob can lose synchronisation with the car. We offer full Car Key Programming for Subaru, including transponder key programming and keyless entry fob programming. -
Broken or damaged Subaru key
Keys can snap in the lock or ignition, particularly on older models. We provide safe broken key extraction and can cut and programme a replacement Subaru key on the spot. If you have a broken car key already causing trouble, it is best to address it before it fails completely. -
Subaru key fob not working reliably
Buttons wearing out, water damage and flat batteries are very common. We test the fob, replace batteries if needed, repair or replace the fob housing and re‑programme a new remote if required.
If you are unsure exactly what the issue is, our diagnostic tools quickly identify whether the problem lies with the key, the lock, or the Subaru immobiliser system.
Subaru Car Key Replacement And Programming In East London
We offer a complete mobile Subaru key service, saving you the time, cost and hassle of using a main dealer.
Mobile Subaru Key Replacement
Our fully equipped vans carry key blanks, remotes and smart keys suitable for most Subaru models on UK roads. We can:
- Cut a new Subaru key to your locks using high‑precision electronic cutting machines
- Programme the transponder chip using OBD2 key programming equipment plugged into your Subaru’s diagnostic port
- Programme Subaru remote central locking fobs and smart keys to your vehicle
- Delete lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser memory for security
This service covers:
- Subaru Impreza and WRX
- Subaru Forester
- Subaru Outback
- Subaru Legacy
- Subaru XV / Crosstrek
- Subaru BRZ
- Older Subaru models still commonly seen in the UK
If you still have a working key and simply need a spare Subaru key, we can create a duplicate at your home or workplace. This is usually cheaper and far less stressful than dealing with a total key loss later.
For a broader overview of replacement options across all makes, see our main Car Key Replacement service.
Subaru Smart Key And Keyless Entry Programming
Many newer Subarus use push‑to‑start systems and proximity keys. Our services include:
- Smart key programming for keyless Subaru systems
- Proximity key replacement when the original is lost
- Keyless entry fob replacement and configuration
- Re‑synchronising keys if the Subaru refuses to recognise them
- Checking for immobiliser faults with dealer‑level diagnostics
We use advanced tools and software that allow us to perform ECU / immobiliser programming and, where necessary, EEPROM key programming for more complex or older Subaru security systems.
Subaru Remote Key And Fob Repair
If your Subaru remote fob has cracked buttons or intermittently stops working:
- We inspect and test the internal circuit board
- Replace cases, buttons and batteries where this is all that is needed
- Offer full key fob replacement and programming if the electronics are damaged
- Diagnose remote central locking problems to rule out issues with door actuators or control modules
For general remote issues across all brands, you can also review our dedicated key fob not working information.
Non‑Destructive Subaru Vehicle Unlocking
Getting locked out of your Subaru in East London is stressful, particularly late at night or when you have children or pets with you. Our priority is to get you back into your vehicle safely and without damage.
- We use non‑destructive entry locksmith techniques wherever possible
- Specialist lock picks and air wedges designed specifically for automotive locks
- No “coat hanger” or DIY methods that risk damaging window seals or airbags
On rare occasions, for example if the lock is already severely damaged or a previous break‑in has distorted the door, minimal destructive work may be the only option. If that happens, we will:
- Explain the situation clearly before proceeding
- Discuss repair options and costs
- Ensure the vehicle can be secured properly afterwards
If you are locked out of any vehicle, not just a Subaru, you can also visit our Vehicle Unlocking page for more details.
Subaru Ignition And Lock Repairs
Older Subaru models, or those with high mileage, can suffer from worn ignitions and locks:
- Key turns sometimes but not always
- Key stuck in the ignition or barrel
- Steering lock refusing to release
- Driver’s door lock turning but not operating the central locking
Our car ignition repair and lock services for Subaru include:
- Stripping and repairing worn ignition barrels
- Replacing damaged door or boot locks
- Re‑keying new locks to match your existing key (where possible)
- Checking and repairing associated central locking components
You can find more detail about these issues on our car lock and ignition issues page.

Subaru Auto Locksmith FAQs
Can You Make A New Subaru Key If I Have Lost All Keys?
Yes. We can usually create and programme new Subaru keys even if you have no key at all. Using your vehicle identification (VIN), door or ignition locks and our diagnostic tools, we can generate and programme new keys and erase the lost keys from the system so they will no longer start the car.
Is A Subaru Locksmith Cheaper Than A Main Dealer?
In many cases, yes. A main dealer will often require you to tow the vehicle to them, then order keys which may take days to arrive. As a mobile Subaru auto locksmith, we come to you in East London and usually supply and programme keys more quickly. For a wider comparison, see our information on auto locksmith prices in East London.
Will You Damage My Subaru When You Unlock It?
Our priority is always non‑destructive entry. We use specialist tools designed for automotive locks, and in the vast majority of cases we open Subaru doors without any damage. If we foresee any risk of damage due to a pre‑existing fault, we will explain this and agree a plan with you before proceeding.
How Long Does It Take To Get A New Subaru Key?
For many Subaru models, once we are with your vehicle, cutting and programming a new key usually takes from around 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the complexity of the system and whether all keys are lost. Booking and travel time depends on your location and how busy we are, but we always try to offer a same‑day or very prompt service where possible.
Can You Programme A Subaru Smart Key Or Proximity Key?
Yes. We offer full smart key programming and proximity key replacement for modern Subarus with push‑button start and keyless entry. We use dealer‑level diagnostic tools and follow secure procedures to ensure that only your authorised keys can start the car.
Do You Cover My Area In East London?
We cover all E postcodes, including areas like Stratford, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf, Walthamstow and Barking. If your vehicle is in or around East London, we can usually come to you.
