FAQs For Maidstone Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Maidstone if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. Our mobile team can create a replacement without the original by reading the vehicle’s immobiliser data and cutting a new key to code. We then carry out transponder or smart key programming so it starts the car.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, using professional lock picks, air wedges and access tools designed for vehicle doors. In the rare event destructive work is the safest option, we explain why and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many Maidstone replacements are completed in a single visit. Timing varies by make, model, and whether it’s a basic transponder key or a smart/proximity key. We’ll give an estimated timeframe when you call.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Maidstone?
Yes. We provide emergency support and can arrange urgent callouts across Maidstone and the wider ME area. For immediate help, phone us directly.
Can you program a used key fob I bought online?
Sometimes. It depends on the brand, whether the fob has been previously locked to another vehicle, and the immobiliser system. We can advise on compatibility and offer reliable alternatives if needed.
My car won’t start and shows a key symbol on the dash. Can you help?
Likely an immobiliser or key transponder issue. We can run diagnostics, reprogram keys, or pair a new key to the ECU/immobiliser to restore starting.
