FAQs for Storrington Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Storrington without the original?
Yes. We can cut and programme a new key without the original using dealer-level diagnostics and, where appropriate, EEPROM/immobiliser programming. We’ll verify proof of ownership before work begins.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases (for example, severely damaged or modified locks), a destructive method may be the only safe option. We always explain the approach and costs first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed the same visit, typically within one appointment. Timing depends on the vehicle, key type (remote/smart), and security system. Call us with your model and we’ll advise.
Can you reprogram a used key fob?
Sometimes. It depends on the make, model, and whether the fob has been previously locked to another immobiliser. We’ll assess and advise if a new fob is the better option.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in RH20?
Yes. We provide emergency support with efficient dispatch across Storrington, Sullington, Washington, West Chiltington, Ashington, and nearby RH postcodes.
What should I do if my key snapped in the ignition?
Stop trying to turn it to avoid further damage. We provide broken ignition key extraction and can repair or replace the ignition barrel if needed. See more about car lock and ignition issues.
