Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key if I don’t have the original?
Yes. In many cases we can create and programme a new key without the original. The exact process depends on your vehicle make, year and immobiliser system — sometimes OBD2 or EEPROM work is required. See Car Key Programming and Car Key Replacement.
Will you damage my car to get it open?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and will exhaust these options first. If a lock is badly damaged and needs replacing, we will discuss this with you before proceeding.
Do you work on smart keys and push-to-start systems?
Yes. We handle modern smart keys, proximity keys and push-to-start systems using dealer-level programming tools and secure procedures. See Car Key Programming.
Are your technicians insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. All technicians are DBS-checked and we carry public liability insurance. We also provide guarantees on workmanship and new keys supplied.
