FAQs for New Ash Green Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data using OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM/ECU methods where required. This avoids the need for a dealer tow.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use professional, non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If there’s a rare situation where drilling a lock or replacing a component is the only safe option, we’ll explain why and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed in a single mobile visit. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type (remote/smart/proximity), and the condition of your immobiliser system. We’ll provide an accurate time estimate when you contact us.
Do you cover evenings or weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support with efficient dispatch across New Ash Green, DA3, and the wider DA postcode area. For urgent help, please call.
Is a locksmith faster and more affordable than a dealer?
Often yes. Our mobile service comes to you, saving towing and long dealer wait times. We’re equipped for on-site cutting and coding, which is usually faster and more convenient than booking through a main dealer.
What if my key fob stopped working after changing the battery?
Some vehicles require re-synchronisation or programming after a battery change. We can diagnose and fix issues where a fob has lost pairing or the transponder isn’t being recognised.
