FAQs for Joydens Wood Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle using dealer-level diagnostics and key cutting on-site. We then programme it to your immobiliser, and can erase the lost/stolen key if needed for security.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as professional lock-picking and air-wedge techniques. If a rare exception applies (for example, a severely damaged lock), we’ll explain the options and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key in Joydens Wood?
Many replacements can be completed in a single visit, often the same day depending on your vehicle and availability. Programming smart/proximity keys may take a little longer due to security procedures.
Can you help if my key fob suddenly stopped working?
Yes. We diagnose the cause—battery, fob circuit, or immobiliser sync—then repair, reprogram, or replace as required. See our guide to a key fob not working.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in DA5?
We do. We handle van key replacement, programming, unlocking, and ignition/lock repairs for popular commercial models. For multiple vehicles or fleet work, please get in touch.
Is it cheaper than going to a dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing, waiting times, and dealership service schedules. Our mobile service is convenient and competitive. For clarity on costs, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Dartford.
