FAQs For South Acton Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN and immobiliser data, we can create and program a new key without the original. For many models this is done via OBD2; some require EEPROM/ECU work.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where components are already damaged or heavily worn, we’ll explain options, any minor drilling required, and costs before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most standard keys can be produced the same visit, often within one appointment. Smart/proximity keys and certain premium brands may take longer, but we’ll advise realistic timings upfront.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in South Acton?
Yes. We offer emergency support outside standard hours. For urgent help, see our Emergency Auto Locksmith in West London.
Can you program a used key fob?
Sometimes. Many vehicles lock a used fob to the original car. We’ll assess your make and model and advise whether a refurbished or new fob is required.
Do you work with all brands, including newer models?
Yes, we handle most mainstream and premium brands, including 2024/2025 models, using dealer-level diagnostics and secure programming procedures.
