Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key without the original in North Cray?
Yes. We can create new keys without the original by decoding your locks or reading immobiliser data. We then cut and program a matching transponder/smart key. For more information, see car key replacement Dartford.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods in the vast majority of cases. In rare scenarios where a destructive method may be the safest or only option, we’ll explain clearly, seek your approval, and protect surrounding areas.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, typically within a single appointment window. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type (remote/smart), and the specific issue. We’ll advise realistic timescales when you call.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We offer emergency auto locksmith support when you need it. If it’s urgent, please call and we’ll prioritise dispatch.
What if my key fob suddenly stopped working?
It could be a battery, a programming issue, or a fault with the fob or vehicle antenna module. We test systematically, replace batteries where needed, and reprogram or replace fobs on site. Read more on key fob not working.
Is it cheaper to use an auto locksmith than a dealer?
In many cases, yes—especially when you’ve lost all keys. We come to you, often same day, which saves recovery costs and dealer lead times. For guidance without fixed prices, see our page on auto locksmith prices Dartford.
