FAQs For Tovil Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Tovil without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create, cut, and program a new key without the original using your vehicle’s VIN/immobiliser data and dealer‑level equipment. Proof of ownership and ID are required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non‑destructive techniques wherever possible. If a rare exception applies (for example, a severely damaged lock), we explain the risk and options clearly before starting.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Tovil?
Yes. Emergency support is available. For urgent help, please call us so we can dispatch a mobile technician.
My key fob has stopped working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a battery or re‑sync issue. We test the fob, check immobiliser data, and advise whether repair, reprogramming, or replacement is best. See our guide to key fob not working.
I’ve lost my only car key—what should I do first?
Stay safe, then contact us. We’ll verify ownership, cut and program a new key, and can erase lost keys from your vehicle’s system for security. For more information, visit lost or stolen car keys.
The key snapped in my ignition in Tovil—can you remove it?
Yes. We carry extraction tools for broken blades in locks or ignitions and can cut a replacement key on site. Learn about our help for a broken car key.
