Question 6

Can you cut a car key without the original?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

We cover a very wide range of makes and models including Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Vauxhall, Renault, Nissan, Toyota, Honda and many more. Visit our Vehicle Brands page or call us to confirm your vehicle.

Question 10

What is car key reprogramming?

Accepted Answer

Car key reprogramming (also called key coding or key programming) is the process of pairing a new or replacement key's transponder chip to your vehicle's immobiliser system so the car will start. Modern vehicles require this in addition to key cutting.

Question 11

Can you programme a key for any car?

Accepted Answer

We cover a very wide range of makes and models using dealer-level diagnostic equipment. Call us with your vehicle details and we'll confirm what's possible.

Question 12

My remote key fob has stopped working — can you fix it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can reprogram or replace remote key fobs for most vehicles. Sometimes the fob just needs re-syncing to the car, which is a quick job.

Question 13

Can you delete a lost key from my car's system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For security, we can erase lost or stolen keys from your vehicle's immobiliser so they can no longer be used to start the car.

Question 14

Can you replace a car key if I've lost all my keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we specialise in all-keys-lost situations. We can supply, cut and programme a completely new key set for your vehicle without needing any existing keys.

Question 15

Do I need proof of ownership?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for security purposes we require proof of vehicle ownership (V5C logbook or similar documentation) before carrying out key replacement work.

Question 16

How long does a lost key replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most car key replacements are completed within 30–60 minutes on-site. All-keys-lost jobs may take slightly longer depending on the vehicle make and model.

Will you damage my car to get in?

Accepted Answer

No — we use professional non-destructive entry methods specifically designed to open vehicles without causing any damage. Your car will be exactly as you left it.

What vehicles can you unlock?

Accepted Answer

We cover the vast majority of cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. Call us with your vehicle details and we'll confirm we can help.

Question 21

Can you replace the ignition without the original key?

Accepted Answer

In most cases yes — we can replace the ignition barrel and supply a new key even if you no longer have the original. Call us with your vehicle details to confirm.

Question 22

How long does ignition replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most ignition replacement jobs are completed within 1–2 hours on-site, depending on the vehicle make and model.
