FAQs For Beckenham Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original by referencing the vehicle’s data, decoding the lock, or using EEPROM/ECU methods when required. This is often quicker and more convenient than a dealership.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where a component is already faulty or a high-security lock requires drilling, we will explain the reasons and get your approval before proceeding.
How quickly can you get to Beckenham?
We run a mobile service across BR3 and nearby areas. We prioritise efficient dispatch rather than promising a specific minute-by-minute ETA. Call us to check current availability and the nearest technician.
Can you program smart keys and push-to-start systems?
Yes. We handle smart key programming, proximity keys, and push-button start systems using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 programming, and EEPROM/ECU solutions when needed.
Do you provide spare keys as well as emergencies?
Absolutely. We supply spare car keys and duplicates for most makes, which is often more cost-effective than replacing a lost or stolen key later on. See our car key cutting and duplication.
Are you insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. All technicians are DBS-checked and our work is covered by public liability insurance. We also provide warranties on workmanship and keys supplied.
