FAQs for Drivers in West Grinstead
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN, lock data, and immobiliser information, we can create a new key without the original. Depending on the model, we may use OBD2 programming or EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming to pair the key securely to the car.
Will you damage my vehicle when unlocking it?
Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. We use professional picks and entry techniques to protect your locks and trims. In rare cases where a lock is heavily damaged or a component has failed, we will explain options and seek your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed during a single visit, as our mobile units carry key blanks, remotes, and programming equipment. Timing depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and key type, but same-day solutions are often achievable.
My key fob has stopped working—what should I do?
First, try a fresh battery. If the issue persists, the fob may need repair or reprogramming. We provide diagnostics, key fob repair, and replacement. See more on key fob not working.
What if my key is stuck or snapped in the ignition?
Do not force it. We offer broken car key extraction and ignition repair. Our technicians can remove the fragment, assess wear or damage, and carry out car ignition repair if needed.
Is this cheaper and faster than a dealer?
Often, yes. As a mobile service, we save you recovery time and typically deliver keys faster than ordering through a main dealer. For a tailored estimate, check our guidance on auto locksmith prices in Redhill and contact us for a free quote.
