FAQs For Mangravet Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key without the original by decoding the lock or using vehicle data, then program the transponder via OBD2. Some models need EEPROM/ECU work. For guidance and a quote, see Car key replacement Maidstone.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a lock is severely damaged or a component has failed internally, we’ll discuss any minimal drilling or parts replacement before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many keys can be cut and programmed during a single mobile visit. Timing varies by make/model, key type (standard, remote, smart), and whether immobiliser programming is required.
