FAQs for Drivers in Aldborough Hatch
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key from your vehicle using dealer-level tools. For some models we read immobiliser data using OBD2 or EEPROM methods. Proof of ownership is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We prioritise non-destructive entry using professional tools. On a small number of vehicles with certain lock faults, drilling or component replacement may be the only safe fix; we’ll explain this beforehand and get your approval.
How long does it take to replace a lost car key?
Many keys can be cut and programmed the same visit, often within an hour once on-site. Complex smart keys or certain brands may take longer due to immobiliser security or required component coding.
Can you program smart and proximity keys near Fairlop Waters or my home?
Yes. Our mobile auto locksmith service covers all of Aldborough Hatch and IG2. We program smart/proximity keys and test push-to-start systems before leaving.
