FAQs For Vale Of Health Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original by referencing your VIN and decoding the lock. We then program the transponder or smart key to your immobiliser so it starts the car.
Will unlocking my car damage the door or window?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, using specialist tools to protect your vehicle’s trim, glass, and weather seals. If a lock is already damaged and requires drilling or replacement, we’ll explain the situation and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new car key in NW3?
Many replacements can be completed in one visit, often the same day. The exact time depends on your vehicle and key type. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when you call.
My car says “key not detected.” What should I do?
This can be caused by a flat key battery, a faulty fob, or an immobiliser issue. We can test the fob, replace the battery, and reprogram or replace the key if required. If you’re stranded in Vale of Health or nearby, call us and we’ll come to you.
Can you program a second-hand key fob?
Sometimes, but it depends on the make and model. Many used smart keys are locked to the original vehicle. We’ll advise if a used fob is suitable or if a new key is the reliable option.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Vale of Health?
Yes. We offer emergency support across North West London, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. For urgent help, see our emergency auto locksmith in North West London.
