FAQs for Crystal Palace Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new key without the original for most vehicles. We identify your key profile, cut a new blade, and program the transponder/remote using OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM/immobiliser programming where required. If a key is lost or stolen, we can de-authorise it so it can’t start your car.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In the rare event a lock is badly damaged or a security design prevents non-destructive entry, we’ll explain the situation and get your approval before proceeding with any alternative method.
How long does car key programming take?
Many keys can be cut and programmed in one visit, often within the same appointment window. Timings vary by make, model, year, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Crystal Palace?
Yes. We provide emergency support and flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. If your situation is urgent, please Call 020 8103 1180.
Is it quicker and cheaper than going to the main dealer?
Often, yes. As a mobile service, we come to you in Crystal Palace, saving recovery costs and time. We use dealer-level equipment and can complete many jobs the same day, which is typically faster and more convenient than a dealership.
