Your Questions Answered
Can you make a new car key in Kensal Rise if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN/lock/immobiliser data and then program it to your car. In some cases, we’ll also erase missing keys from the immobiliser for security.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock is severely damaged or a special security scenario requires a different approach, we’ll explain the options and costs before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed the same visit. Timing depends on the make/model, key type (basic, remote, smart), and whether we need EEPROM/ECU work. We’ll give you an accurate estimate when you call.
Can you program a key fob that I bought online?
Sometimes, yes—but compatibility and quality vary. We can assess it and advise. Often we recommend supplying and programming our own tested keys to ensure reliability and warranty.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency assistance and can arrange convenient appointments out of standard hours across Kensal Rise and NW postcodes.
What if my car doesn’t detect the key and shows a key symbol on the dash?
That usually points to transponder or immobiliser communication issues. We’ll run diagnostics via OBD2, check the key, antenna ring, and system sync, and reprogram or repair as required.
