Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key in Vigo if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can create a new key without the original by decoding the locks, cutting a new blade, and programming a transponder/remote to your immobiliser. This is often faster and more convenient than a dealer. For details on replacements, see car key replacement in Dartford.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques in almost all cases. In rare situations—like severely damaged locks—we’ll explain the risks and alternatives first and only proceed with your approval.
Do you cover smart keys and push-to-start vehicles?
Yes. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and immobiliser pairing for many modern vehicles using OBD2 diagnostics and EEPROM where necessary. Learn more under car key programming.
What if my key fob stopped working suddenly?
First, we check the battery and signal. If the issue persists, we can re-sync, repair the fob’s electronics, or supply a replacement and program it on-site. See key fob not working.
Can you help with vans and commercial vehicles in DA13?
Absolutely. We provide emergency entry, spare keys, and programming for popular vans like Ford Transit, VW Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter, and Vauxhall Vivaro. Visit our van and commercial locksmith page.
How do your prices work?
Costs vary by vehicle make/model/year, key type (basic, remote, smart), and the service required (unlocking vs. creating from scratch), plus timing. For a tailored estimate, see auto locksmith prices in Dartford or contact us for a free quote.
