Can you make a new car key without the original in Maidstone?

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases of severe lock damage or certain security configurations, minor invasive work may be needed, but we always explain options and costs first.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed the same visit, as our vans carry blanks and electronics for popular brands. Times vary by make/model and key type, but our mobile service aims to complete work efficiently at your location.
My key fob stopped working. Do I need a new one?
Not necessarily. It might be a dead battery, a desynchronised remote, or a programming fault. We’ll test and either reprogram the fob, repair it, or supply a new remote if required. See key fob not working for typical causes.
