FAQs For Charlwood Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. We use decoding tools and OBD2 or EEPROM methods where appropriate. Bring your V5C/logbook and photo ID so we can verify ownership.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a rare exception is unavoidable—e.g., a severely damaged lock—we’ll explain options and get your consent before any work.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many keys can be cut and programmed the same visit. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type (basic, remote fob, smart/proximity), and immobiliser system. We’ll provide an accurate timeframe when you call.
Can you reprogram a used key fob?
Sometimes, but many vehicles lock a key to the first car it’s paired with. We’ll advise after a quick check of your make and model. Often, a new fob is the most reliable solution.
What should I do if my car key is not detected?
Try your backup key if you have one, and replace the fob battery. If that doesn’t work, it may be a transponder or immobiliser issue. We can perform diagnostics and provide on-the-spot programming.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Charlwood?
Yes. We provide emergency support across RH postcodes, including evenings, weekends and holidays. For urgent help, please Call 01737 302 475.
