FAQs for Etchingham Drivers
Can you unlock my car without damaging it?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock is already damaged or a special security profile requires drilling or component replacement, we’ll explain why and get your approval first.
I’ve lost my only car key in Etchingham. Can you make a new one without the original?
In most cases, yes. We can create and program a new key or smart fob from your vehicle’s data using OBD2 diagnostics and, when necessary, EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming. We’ll also delete missing or stolen keys for security.
My car says “key not detected.” What should I do?
Try replacing the fob battery and holding the fob near the start button or steering column (check your handbook). If it still fails, call us. We can re-synchronise or program a replacement and diagnose antenna or immobiliser faults.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed in a single visit, often the same day depending on your vehicle and key type. Smart/proximity keys and higher-security systems can take longer due to programming steps, but we’ll advise clearly when you call.
Do you support vans and commercial vehicles in TN19?
Yes. We handle popular vans like Ford Transit/Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic, VW Transporter, and more, including spare keys and emergency entry for business continuity.
Are your technicians insured and DBS-checked?
Absolutely. We’re fully insured with public liability cover, and all technicians are DBS-checked for your peace of mind.
