How We Fix Your Car Key Or Lock Problem

FAQs For Shellwood Cross Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original using your vehicle’s VIN, locks and immobiliser data. We use secure OBD2 or EEPROM methods as appropriate to your make and model.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry wherever possible and have the tools and training to protect your vehicle. If a lock is already damaged or a rare exception applies, we’ll explain your options before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Most replacements are completed in a single visit. Cutting and programming typically take 30–90 minutes depending on your vehicle, key type (remote vs smart/proximity) and any immobiliser issues.
Do you cover smart and proximity keys?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement and push-to-start systems for most popular brands, including Ford, VW, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Nissan and Toyota.
