Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key without the original in Hammerwood?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s identification and our dealer-level diagnostics, we can create and program a new key without the original for most makes and models. This often involves OBD2 access; for some models, EEPROM or immobiliser programming is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a lock is faulty or damaged and non-destructive techniques won’t work, we’ll explain the issue and agree the best option before proceeding.
How long does a replacement key take?
It depends on the vehicle and key type. Standard transponder keys can often be cut and programmed the same visit. Smart keys and some high-security systems may take longer due to security procedures. We’ll advise realistic timings on the call.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Hammerwood?
Yes. Emergency support is available. For urgent assistance, it’s best to call so we can prioritise dispatch.
Can you fix a key fob that has stopped working?
In many cases, yes. We can replace fob shells, buttons, and batteries, or supply a new fob and handle the programming. See more on our key fob not working page.
What affects the cost of a new car key in RH19?
Make, model, year, key type (remote, flip, smart/proximity), and whether it’s an emergency or standard appointment. For clear guidance without guesswork, please see our overview of auto locksmith prices in Redhill and call for an accurate quote.
