FAQs For South Ealing Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle’s lock and immobiliser data using dealer-level diagnostics. This applies to many brands. If your keys are lost or stolen, we can also erase the old keys and program new ones so the missing key can no longer start the car.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where a component is already damaged or a particular security design leaves no alternative, we’ll explain the options, likely outcomes, and costs clearly before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most replacements and programming can be completed in a single mobile visit. Timing depends on the vehicle, key type (standard, remote, smart), and whether keys are lost or you have a working spare. We’ll give a time estimate during your call.
My key fob stopped working—could it just be the battery?
Often, yes—but not always. We can test the fob, replace the battery if needed, and re-synchronise or reprogram the fob if it’s lost coding. If the issue is with the vehicle receiver or immobiliser, we can diagnose that too.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in South Ealing?
Yes. We provide emergency support and efficient dispatch across West London, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. For urgent help, please call.
Can you help with vans and company vehicles?
Absolutely. We handle van keys, transponder programming, and ignition/lock issues for trades and fleets, keeping downtime to a minimum.
