Frequently Asked Questions For Penge Drivers

Can you make a new car key without the original?

Yes. For most vehicles we can create and program a new key from scratch using your vehicle identification details and immobiliser data. Our dealer-level diagnostics and EEPROM/ECU programming allow us to pair keys securely on-site.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible—specialist lock picks and air tools designed for automotive locks. In rare cases where damage-free entry isn’t feasible, we’ll explain the situation and agree the best option with you first.

How long does it take to get a new car key in Penge?

Many replacements can be completed the same visit. Times vary by vehicle make/model and whether we are cutting a standard key, programming a remote fob, or pairing a smart/proximity key via OBD2 or EEPROM.

Can you reprogram a used key fob?

Sometimes, but many vehicles lock a fob to a single car. We’ll advise whether your make/model supports reprogramming a used fob; if not, we’ll supply a compatible new fob and program it to your immobiliser.

Do you cover evenings and weekends in BR3?

Yes. We offer emergency support with efficient mobile coverage across Penge and nearby areas in BR3.

What should I do if my key is stolen in Penge?

Call us. We can erase old keys from the immobiliser, cut and program new ones, and advise on lock changes if appropriate to keep your vehicle secure.
