FAQs for Barking Riverside Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original in IG11?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original using dealer-level diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM/immobiliser programming. This is often quicker and more convenient than waiting for a dealer.
Will you damage my vehicle when unlocking it?
Our vehicle unlocking is non-destructive wherever possible. For the very small number of cases where a destructive method is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock), we will discuss options and get your approval first.
How long does car key programming take?
Most standard transponder or remote key programming takes 20–45 minutes once we’re on site. Smart/proximity keys or vehicles requiring EEPROM procedures can take longer, but we’ll advise you before starting.

Yes. We provide emergency support during evenings, weekends, and holidays across Barking Riverside and wider IG postcodes. If your need is urgent, please call.
