TrueCode provides almost instant programming of keys from a variety of vehicle manufacturers. Fully supported by KeyProgrammers, a family owned business sited within Manchester’s M60, the equipment does not need internet access whilst using it. All calculations are performed by software loaded onto the user’s laptop/notebook within seconds, without the need for complicated menus. Once Auto Locksmiths have purchased a module, it is theirs to use without annual fees or tokens. The company is headed up by Chris Cleasby who has over 12 years’ experience as a vehicle locksmith and previous experience in electronics. His wife Sarah Cleasby, who handles sales and marketing for KeyProgrammers, said: “Chris knows the problems of getting support when you need it. A lot of key programming tools are made by software designers sitting in offices, not by people who know what it’s like to sit in a field freezing to death while going through hundreds of different menus.” The company serves customers from individuals who have lost their keys or want a spare to nationwide organisations looking to procure keys for large numbers of vehicles.
