Car Key Replacement And Programming In Bexley

Whether you’ve lost all keys or need a spare, we handle:

Transponder key programming and chip key coding
Smart key programming and proximity key replacement for push-to-start vehicles
Remote key programming and key fob replacement
Laser cut car keys and high-security vehicle keys
ECU/immobiliser programming and EEPROM work for complex cases

A transponder is a small chip inside your key that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. If it isn’t programmed correctly, the engine won’t start. We use secure programming methods to pair new keys to your vehicle safely and reliably.

If your key fob has stopped working, we can test and repair the fob, replace the battery, and re-sync it. Where repair isn’t viable, we’ll supply and program a replacement.

For a deeper look at programming options and supported brands, see our dedicated page for Car Key Programming.

FAQs For Bexley Drivers

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?

Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN, lock/ignition data, and dealer-level or EEPROM tools, we can cut and program a new key without the original, subject to proof of ownership and ID.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. In the small minority of cases where drilling or component replacement is necessary, we explain why and get approval before proceeding.

How long does it take to get a new car key?

Many replacements can be completed the same visit, typically within one appointment. Times vary by make, model, and whether it’s a standard transponder key or a smart/proximity system.

Can you reprogram a used car key fob?

Sometimes. Many fobs can be re-used only if fully reset and compatible with your vehicle. In many cases, a new, virgin fob is the reliable option. We’ll advise the best route on site.

Do you cover evenings and weekends in Bexley?

Yes, we offer emergency assistance outside standard hours. Call to check current availability for DA5.

Is a locksmith faster than a dealer for key replacement?

Often, yes. As a mobile service, we come to your location in Bexley, avoid towing, and complete cutting/programming on site—usually quicker and more convenient than arranging dealer appointments.
