FAQs for Blendon Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new working key without the original by decoding the lock or using your vehicle’s immobiliser data via OBD2 diagnostics. For certain models we may use EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming. We’ll advise the best route for your vehicle.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Modern picking and decoding tools allow us to open most vehicles without damage. If, in rare cases, drilling or component replacement is the only safe option, we’ll explain the reasons and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new car key in Blendon?
Many replacements can be completed the same visit—often within one appointment—depending on the vehicle, key type (standard, remote, or smart/proximity) and whether ignition/lock issues are present. Call us to discuss your specific make and model for an accurate timeframe.
Can you program smart and proximity keys?
Yes. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and push-to-start systems for many brands using dealer-level equipment. This includes transponder coding, remote functions and immobiliser pairing.
Is a locksmith faster than going to a dealer?
Typically yes. As a mobile auto locksmith we come to you, which avoids towing and multi-day dealer lead times. For many scenarios, we’re the quicker and more affordable alternative to the main dealer.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
