Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take?
The time required depends on the service needed and the specific vehicle. Some jobs, such as vehicle entry or cutting a basic spare key, can often be completed in just a few minutes.
Key programming on some newer vehicles takes longer because we need to locate and access electronic modules before we programme keys.
Once we know the vehicle details and the issue, we will give you a realistic time estimate before starting so you know what to expect.
If I have lost my keys do I have to replace all locks?
We can non-destructively pick and decode the majority of vehicle locks using specialist equipment. This usually means there’s no need to replace the vehicle’s locks. We can cut new keys to work with the existing locks and programme them to the vehicle where required.
Do you need proof that I own the vehicle?
Yes. For security reasons, we’ll need to see proof of ownership and identification before carrying out certain vehicle key services. Proof of ownership can include documents such as the V5C, insurance documents or other suitable evidence linking you to the vehicle.
Do you work on all vehicles?
No. We work on a wide range of popular makes and models, but not every vehicle can be supported. We are always adding to our supported vehicles.
Will I be charged if you are unable to access my vehicle?
No. We only charge for completed work.
Do you check the vehicle before carrying out key programming?
Yes. Where appropriate, we scan the vehicle for faults before work begins. If any issues are found relating to the immobiliser, ECU or other critical systems, these will be discussed first.
In some cases, existing faults may mean it is not sensible to proceed with key programming. If that happens, we will explain why and advise on the next best steps rather than risking further problems.
