FAQs for Drivers in Slade Green
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. For many models we access coding via OBD2; some require EEPROM/immobiliser data work. We’ll advise the best route during your call.
Will unlocking my car damage anything?
Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. We use manufacturer-aligned tools and techniques. If a lock or door has pre-existing damage or a rare destructive step is unavoidable, we’ll explain first and seek your approval.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed on the spot in one visit. Timing depends on make/model, key type (blade, remote, smart/proximity), and whether codes are readily accessible. We’ll give an accurate timescale when you contact us.
Can you erase a stolen or lost key from the car’s memory?
Yes. We can delete missing keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start the vehicle, then program new keys and remotes securely.
My key fob stopped working—do I need a whole new key?
Not always. Sometimes it’s just a battery or worn buttons. We provide diagnostics to confirm whether you need key fob repair, reprogramming, or a replacement fob.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Emergency support is available, and we prioritise urgent lockouts and lost keys throughout the DA postcode area.
