FAQs For Holmbury St Mary And RH5
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can decode the lock, cut a key to code, and then program the transponder or smart key to your immobiliser system. This avoids the need for a tow to a dealer. For more detail see car key replacement.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On rare occasions where a component is already damaged or a specific design leaves no alternative, we explain the reason and seek your approval before proceeding.
How long does a replacement key take on-site?
Many standard remote keys can be cut and programmed during a single visit. Smart keys and some models may take longer, especially if EEPROM or immobiliser work is required. We’ll advise realistic timings when you call.
Can you fix a key fob that’s stopped working suddenly?
Often yes. We test the battery, check the buttons and circuit board, and reprogram or replace the fob if needed. See our guide to key fob not working.
