FAQs For Bromley Motorists

Can you make a new car key without the original in Bromley?

Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN, lock decoding, OBD2 diagnostics, or EEPROM/ECU methods (depending on model and year), we can create and program a new key without the original. We’ll also erase lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser where supported.

Will unlocking my car damage the door or lock?

We prioritise non-destructive entry using picks, Lishi tools, and decoding techniques. In the rare instance a damaged lock or high-security mechanism prevents this, we’ll explain the safest alternative and obtain your approval before proceeding.
