How Our Hamm Court Service Works
We operate a fully mobile service across KT postcodes. Our typical process is straightforward and designed to get you moving again quickly:
- Call or contact us with your location in Hamm Court and a description of the problem
- We dispatch a trained, DBS-checked technician with dealer-level tools and mobile diagnostic equipment
- We diagnose the issue using OBD2 or specialist diagnostic kit where required
- We use non-destructive vehicle entry methods wherever possible and explain any rare exceptions before work begins
- We cut, program and test keys on-site where possible, or return vehicle and key to full working order safely

FAQs
How much does a new car key cost in Hamm Court?
We don’t publish fixed prices because costs depend on vehicle make, model and key type. Factors include whether the key is a basic blade, remote fob or smart proximity key, plus the complexity of programming (OBD2/EEPROM/ECU work). Contact us for a free, accurate quote.
Can you make a car key without the original in Hamm Court?
Yes. In many cases we can cut and program a new key without the original, using VIN checks, immobiliser programming via OBD2 or EEPROM programming where required. We’ll confirm the required proof of ownership before starting.
Will you damage my car to get it open?
No — our first approach is always non-destructive entry. We carry specialised tools and techniques to avoid damage. If a non-destructive method is not possible, we’ll explain why and get your authorisation before proceeding.
Do you cover commercial vehicles and vans in Hamm Court?
Yes. We offer van and commercial locksmith services for fleet vehicles and local businesses, including replacement keys and on-site programming. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith service for details.
How long does key programming take?
Simple programming can often be completed on-site within 20–40 minutes. More complex ECU or immobiliser work may take longer and occasionally need specialist attention. We explain timescales when we provide your quote.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
We provide mobile services across KT postcodes. For emergency support check our emergency page or contact us; for routine visits we offer flexible scheduling. If you need urgent help, see our emergency auto locksmith page.
