Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN/lock data and dealer-level diagnostics, we can cut and program a new key without the original in most cases. Some vehicles may require additional security procedures or EEPROM work. We’ll confirm what’s needed when you call.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our priority is non-destructive entry. We use specialist picks and access tools designed for modern vehicles. In rare situations—such as failed locks or deadlocking faults—minimal drilling or component removal may be necessary, but we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed in a single visit the same day, depending on key type and parts availability. Smart/proximity keys and certain premium brands may take longer due to security protocols, but we’ll give you a clear timeframe during booking.
My key fob suddenly stopped working—what should I do?
First, try a fresh battery. If it still fails, the fob may need reprogramming or repair. We can test, repair, or replace and handle the full key fob programming service.
