Can you unlock my car without damaging it?
Yes. We’re trained in non-destructive entry techniques and use specialist tools to protect your vehicle. If a rare exception applies (for example, severely damaged locks), we’ll explain the options before proceeding.
I’ve lost my only car key in Southwater. Can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. In most cases, we can create and program a new key without the original. We use dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 programming, and EEPROM/immobiliser techniques where required to pair the new key to your vehicle securely.
My car says “key not detected.” What should I do?
