FAQs For Sidcup Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key even if you’ve lost your only one. Using VIN data, key code information, and specialist decoding tools, we cut and program a replacement on-site. See our guidance on car key replacement.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods in the vast majority of cases. If a lock or mechanism has failed and drilling or component replacement is required, we’ll explain why, outline options, and get your consent before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed during a single visit, often within the hour once we’re on site, depending on the vehicle, key type, and programming method. Smart keys and some prestige models may take longer due to security protocols.
Can you program smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems?
Yes. We handle transponder and smart key programming using OBD2 and advanced EEPROM/ECU techniques where needed, following manufacturer-specific procedures.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Emergency support is available for urgent situations. We aim to dispatch efficiently across Sidcup and the wider DA area with a mobile auto locksmith near you when you need help.
