FAQs For Drivers In W1
Can you unlock my car without damage near the Royal Academy?
Yes, our technicians use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a lock or component is already damaged or a high-security profile requires a different approach, we’ll explain options and get your approval before any invasive work.
I’ve lost my only key in W1. Can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original using dealer-level diagnostics (OBD2) and, for some models, EEPROM or immobiliser programming. For details, see our car key replacement service.
My key fob suddenly stopped working on Piccadilly. What should I try first?
Try a battery replacement if you have one to hand and ensure you’re not in a high-interference spot. If it still won’t respond or the car won’t detect it, we can test, re-sync, or replace the fob and program it on site. Read more at key fob not working.
Do you cover premium brands in Mayfair and around the Royal Academy?
Yes. We regularly work with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Land Rover and other high-security systems, including laser-cut keys and smart/proximity keys. See the brands we cover.
