FAQs For East Horsley Residents

Can you make a new car key without the original?

Yes in many cases. We carry tools for creating keys from VIN or using module programming (OBD2/EEPROM). Some late‑model vehicles with advanced immobilisers may require dealer involvement. We’ll explain this before any work.

Will you damage my car to get it open?

We use non‑destructive entry techniques wherever possible and choose the least invasive method first. If a non‑destructive approach isn’t possible, we’ll explain the reason and provide options before proceeding.

Do you cover areas outside East Horsley?

Yes. We cover East Horsley and the wider Kingston upon Thames KT postcode area including nearby Leatherhead, Effingham and other KT postcodes. For a full list of neighbourhoods see our Areas hub.

How long will it take to program a new key?

Most keys can be programmed on site in 20–60 minutes depending on the vehicle and the programming method required (OBD2, remote learning or EEPROM). We provide an accurate estimate once we assess the vehicle.

Are your technicians insured and DBS‑checked?

Yes. All technicians are DBS‑checked and carry public liability insurance. We provide written warranties on workmanship and keys where applicable.
