Car Diagnostics
Our comprehensive diagnostics service utilises dealer-level tools to identify faults in engine management, airbag systems, ABS, and immobiliser units. We provide detailed fault code reports with plain-English explanations and free follow-up scans. This service addresses both running and non-starting vehicles, ensuring accurate diagnosis of complex electronic systems.
ECU Programming
Specialising in ECU cloning, virginising, and immobiliser deletes, we reprogram secondhand units for reuse while maintaining vehicle compatibility. Our services include DPF/EGR removal, BSI module replacement, and key transponder programming. We maintain a stock of 4,000+ modules and offer UK-wide postal services with next-day delivery for programmed components.
Car Key Services
We supply and program all key types including bladed, flip, slot-in, and smart keys. Our services cover lost key situations, battery replacements, and remote repairs. Using advanced CNC equipment, we cut and code keys while-you-wait or via postal service. Mobile locksmith support enables on-site key programming for added convenience.
Instrument Cluster Repairs
We repair digital displays, correct mileage discrepancies, and clone data between clusters. Our technicians handle immobiliser-programmed units and resolve voltage surge damage. Services include pixel repairs for Audi TT clusters and mileage resets accessible via OBD sockets without cluster removal in many cases.
Mobile Locksmith
Our mobile service provides vehicle entry without damage, on-site key programming, and emergency lockout assistance. Available until late nightly across Norfolk and North Suffolk, this service eliminates recovery costs by enabling key cutting and coding at your location using portable equipment.

The team are always obliging to fit me in as soon as they can, and Luke (who I've now had the pleasure of meeting twice) seems to do his job effortlessly and with ease. Have been very happy with their services. Good people, good mechanics!

Had my brakes renewed on my works van and I just want to say what an outstanding service I received from Luke who works as a mechanic at JC cars, he was very polite and extremely helpful with what work he was going to be doing on my van and how long it would be etc etc. As Luke was working on my van I popped out to the local shops and while I was out I received a courtesy call from him letting me know that my van was ready. I would highly recommend JC cars to any one who is looking to have some work done on their car or van because the workmanship is second to none, absolutely brilliant, thank
