FAQs for Drivers in Boughton Monchelsea
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN and immobiliser data. We use OBD2 programming and, where required, EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming. We’ll advise what ID or ownership proof we need when you call.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use specialist, non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a previous repair or severe damage makes this impossible, we’ll explain the situation and agree the best option with you before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements and spares can be cut and programmed roadside during the same visit. Times vary by make, model, and key type (remote, transponder, or smart/proximity). We’ll give a realistic timescale when you call.
Can you program smart keys and proximity fobs?
Yes. We provide smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and push-to-start solutions for many brands. Our dealer-level diagnostics allow us to pair new keys and sync them to your vehicle’s immobiliser system.
My key fob stopped working—do I just need a new battery?
Sometimes it’s a simple battery swap. If a new battery doesn’t help, the issue could be the fob’s circuitry, a syncing problem, or the vehicle’s receiver/immobiliser. We’ll test and repair or replace as needed. See more on our car key programming page.
What should I do if my key breaks in the ignition?
Stop trying to remove it to avoid further damage. We provide broken ignition key extraction and can repair or replace the ignition if needed. Call us for guidance and safe removal.
