FAQs for St Paul’s Cray Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases, we can create and program a new key from your vehicle using VIN‑matched data and dealer‑level diagnostics. For some models, we may use EEPROM techniques to securely code a new transponder. Proof of ownership is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed the same day at your location in BR5. Timing depends on your vehicle make, model, year, and key type (standard, remote, or smart). We’ll advise accurate timings when you call.
Can you program smart or proximity keys for push‑to‑start cars?
Yes. We regularly provide smart key programming and proximity key replacement for modern vehicles using OBD2 or EEPROM methods where required, followed by full testing of keyless entry and start functions.
