Can you unlock my car in Winchelsea without damage?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, including specialist lock picks and air wedges. In rare cases where a component is already damaged or heavily shielded, we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.
I’ve lost my only car key at Winchelsea Beach—can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new key without the original for most makes and models. We’ll verify your ownership, then cut and code a replacement on site using OBD2 programming or EEPROM methods as needed. Start with our car key replacement in Tunbridge Wells.
My key fob has stopped working. Do I need the dealer?
Not necessarily. We diagnose fobs, replace worn blades and housings, and provide key fob programming or replacement on site. Our tools match dealer-level capability for many vehicles, often faster and more convenient than booking with a dealer. Learn more about car key programming and see our key fob not working guide.
Can you provide spare car keys for modern push-to-start vehicles?
Yes. We supply and program spare smart/proximity keys for many push-to-start models, test start/stop functionality, and ensure remote locking works correctly.
What if the key has snapped in the ignition?
Do not force it. We offer broken key extraction and, if needed, ignition repair or replacement. See our page on car lock and ignition issues for details.
How long does a replacement key take?
In many cases, we can cut and program a standard remote key the same day during your appointment. Some smart keys or vehicles requiring EEPROM/immobiliser work may take longer. We’ll outline timings when you contact us.
