FAQs For Drivers In Ditton
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can cut and program a new key without the original using your vehicle’s VIN, lock decoding, or immobiliser data. This may involve OBD2 programming or, for some models, EEPROM/ECU work. Proof of ownership is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a rare exception applies—such as a severely damaged lock—we’ll explain the method and any minor cosmetic risks before starting.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in one visit. Time varies by make/model and key type (basic, remote, smart/proximity). We’ll advise an estimated timescale when you call.
My car says “key not detected.” Can you help?
Yes. We can test your fob battery, check for desynchronisation, and diagnose transponder or antenna/immobiliser faults. If needed, we can reprogram or replace the fob.
Do you cover vans and company vehicles in Ditton?
Absolutely. We handle Transit, Vivaro, Transporter, Sprinter and many others, including spare keys, lost keys, and lock/ignition repairs for fleets.
Are your technicians insured and vetted?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and all technicians are DBS checked. We also provide warranties on keys and workmanship.
