FAQs
Can you make a new car key if I don’t have the original?
Yes. In many cases we can create and program a new key without the original by using OBD2 or EEPROM programming and cutting a new key blank. We’ll need proof of ownership before starting.
Will you damage my car to gain entry?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible (air wedges, shielded picks, specialised tools). If a non-destructive method won’t work we’ll explain why and discuss alternatives before proceeding.
Do you cover the whole of KT postcodes or just Norbiton?
We cover Norbiton (KT2) and the broader KT postcode area across Kingston upon Thames. If you’re nearby in a different KT neighbourhood, we can assist — contact us for details.
How long will it take to program a smart key?
Timing depends on the vehicle and programming method (OBD2 vs. dealer-level programming). Most on-site jobs are completed the same day; we’ll give an estimated time once we’ve diagnosed the vehicle.
Are your technicians insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. All technicians are DBS-checked and we carry public liability insurance. We also offer warranties on keys and workmanship.
