Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle using specialist diagnostics and, if required, EEPROM/immobiliser programming. Proof of ownership will be needed.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible and always explain any rare exceptions beforehand. Our aim is to unlock your vehicle safely and quickly.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed the same visit, depending on make, model, and key type. Smart and proximity keys can take longer because of security programming, but we’ll advise clear timeframes on-site.
