FAQs For Drivers In Luton, Maidstone
Can you make a new car key in Luton if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can create a new key without the original by decoding the lock, using key code data, or through ECU/immobiliser methods. We’ll cut and program the new key on site so you can drive away safely. See our guidance on Car Key Replacement.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our technicians use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as lock-picking and specialist access tools. In rare cases where a lock is severely damaged or a vehicle has non-standard security, we’ll explain options first and only proceed with your approval.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Luton?

Can you fix a key fob that has stopped working?
We diagnose the issue first. Often it’s a battery or worn buttons; sometimes it’s a programming or immobiliser sync problem. We offer fob repair where viable or supply and program a replacement. See key fob not working solutions.
I’ve snapped my key in the ignition—what should I do?
