FAQs For Brompton Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original in Brompton?
Yes. We can often cut and program a new key directly from your vehicle using OBD2 diagnostics. If the security data isn’t accessible via OBD2, we can use EEPROM/immobiliser programming methods. Proof of ownership is required.
Will unlocking my car damage the door or locks?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where damage-free entry isn’t feasible due to a severe fault or previous damage, we’ll explain the issue and get your go-ahead before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Most standard keys and many remotes are completed in a single mobile visit. Times vary by make/model and whether advanced immobiliser work is needed. We aim to complete same-day where parts and security access allow.
My key fob has stopped working. Do I need a whole new key?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a dead battery or re-synchronisation issue. We’ll test the fob, replace the battery if needed, and advise if repair or full key fob replacement is the best option. See our guidance on a key fob not working.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in ME7?
Yes. We provide emergency support for lockouts and urgent key issues outside standard hours. For immediate help, visit our emergency auto locksmith in Maidstone or call us.
