FAQs for Kilburn Drivers
Can you get me back into my car without damage?
Yes—our vehicle unlocking is non-destructive wherever possible. We use specialist tools and methods tailored to your make and model. If a lock is already damaged and a destructive method is the only safe option, we will explain this and get your approval before proceeding.
I’ve lost my only key in Kilburn. Can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new key without the original by using your vehicle’s VIN/lock information and dealer-level diagnostics. We can also remove the lost key from the immobiliser so it won’t start the car.
How long does car key programming take?
Most keys are cut and programmed in one visit. Simple transponder keys can be ready quickly; smart/proximity systems and some brands (e.g., BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VAG) may take longer due to security protocols. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
Do you cover vans and fleet vehicles in NW6?
Absolutely. We work with popular vans like Transit, Vivaro, Transporter, Sprinter, and more—providing spare keys, unlocks, lock repairs, and programming for commercial vehicles.
