FAQs for Wormwood Scrubs Drivers
Can you unlock my car without damaging it?
Yes—our vehicle unlocking methods are non-destructive wherever possible. We use professional tools designed to protect your locks and seals. In the rare event a different technique is safer (for example, on heavily damaged or modified locks), we’ll explain the risks and get your approval first.
I’ve lost my only car key in W12. Can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. We can typically create a new key without the original, then handle car key programming using dealer-level diagnostics. If needed, we can erase lost keys from the car’s memory for security.
My smart key isn’t detected. What should I do?
First, try the backup start location (often near the start button or steering column) and replace the key battery. If it still fails, we can diagnose whether it’s a key, antenna, or immobiliser issue and provide key fob programming or replacement on site.
