FAQs

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Our techniques are designed to protect your paintwork, glass, and locks. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is necessary (for example, a severely damaged or deadlocked mechanism), we’ll explain the issue and your options before proceeding.

Do you operate evenings, weekends, and bank holidays?

Yes. We provide emergency support across North West London with efficient dispatch during evenings, weekends, and holidays. If your need isn’t urgent, you can also contact our North West London team to arrange a convenient time.

Can you replace and program a key on the roadside?

In most cases, yes. Our vans carry key blanks, remotes, and transponder chips for common makes, plus dealer-level programming tools (OBD2 and EEPROM where required). For some models, specialised procedures are needed—we’ll advise you on the call.

I’ve lost my only key. Can you still help?

Yes. We can create a new key without the original, then program it to your vehicle and, if required, remove the lost/stolen key from the system so it can’t start the car. See our guidance on lost or stolen car keys.

My key fob has stopped working. Is it the battery or the programming?

It could be either. We’ll test the fob, replace the battery if needed, and re-sync or reprogram it. If the fob is faulty, we can supply and program a replacement. Learn more about key fob not working.

What vehicles do you cover?

We handle most cars and vans on UK roads, including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Renault, Land Rover, Mini, Skoda, Volvo, Honda, and more. For specific brand guidance, see the brands we cover.

How long will it take?

We don’t promise fixed arrival times, but we dispatch efficiently across the NW postcode area and complete most emergency unlocks within a single visit. Key replacement and programming can often be done on the spot.
