- “The key snapped in my VW Golf’s door.” We carefully extract broken blades and cut a new high-security key.

Helpful Advice For IG3 Drivers
- Keep a spare: It’s quicker and cheaper to duplicate a working key than to replace a lost one. Consider a remote or smart spare for convenience.
- Battery first: If the fob stops responding, try a fresh battery. If it still fails, the fob may need repair or reprogramming.
- Report theft: If keys are stolen, report to the police and your insurer. We can re-code locks/immobilisers so the stolen key no longer works.
- Avoid forced entry: Don’t attempt coat-hanger or screwdriver methods; they often damage weather seals, locks, and airbags. Call a non-destructive entry specialist.
