We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a rare exception applies—such as a severely damaged lock—we’ll explain the options, costs, and obtain your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed during a single visit. Timing varies by make, model, key type, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you a clear estimate when you call.
Can you program smart and proximity keys near Paddington Station?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, keyless entry, and push-to-start systems for most brands. We pair the key securely to your vehicle’s immobiliser and verify everything works before we leave.
