FAQs For Drivers In Luton
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks or using the onboard diagnostic port (OBD2), then program it to the immobiliser. This is often faster and more affordable than going to the dealer.
Will unlocking damage my car?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. On rare occasions—such as a severely damaged or seized lock—we discuss options in advance and only proceed with your approval. We can also repair or replace affected components.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements can be completed in a single mobile visit. Timing depends on make/model, key type (basic, remote, smart), and the complexity of programming. Call for a tailored timescale.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in Luton?
Absolutely. We handle Transit, Vivaro, Sprinter and many more, including key cutting, programming, unlocking, and ignition repairs, all roadside to minimise downtime.
My key fob has stopped working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes a simple battery replacement or re-synchronisation solves it. If the fob electronics are faulty, we can repair or replace and then program it. Read more on key fob not working.
Are your technicians insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and all technicians are DBS-checked. You’ll also receive a warranty on keys and workmanship.
