FAQs: Auto Locksmith West Ealing
Can you make a new car key in West Ealing without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data using OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM/ECU programming where needed. Proof of ownership is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. We use professional lock-picking and decoding tools to open vehicles without damage. If a lock is already damaged or a rare destructive method is necessary, we’ll explain clearly before work.
How long does it take to replace a car key?
Most standard keys are completed the same visit. Timing varies by vehicle make/model, key type (basic, remote, smart/proximity), and whether immobiliser coding is required.
Can you program smart keys and proximity keys?
Yes. We handle smart, proximity and push-to-start systems for many brands. We use dealer-level diagnostics and can program additional keys or replace a lost-only key in most cases.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in W13?
Yes. We provide emergency support for lockouts and urgent replacements across West Ealing, evenings and weekends included. For non-urgent bookings, we’ll schedule a convenient slot.
Is it cheaper to use an auto locksmith than a dealer?
Often yes—especially for roadside help, lost-only keys, and when you can’t drive the vehicle. A mobile locksmith saves towing and waiting time. For more on what affects cost, see auto locksmith prices in West London.
