FAQs for Drivers in Chislehurst BR7
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN and on-board diagnostics (OBD2), we can create and program a new key or smart fob without the original in most cases. Some vehicles may require EEPROM or immobiliser programming, which we can carry out on-site.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our vehicle unlocking methods are non-destructive wherever possible. We use professional tools and techniques designed to protect your locks and windows. If a rare exception is likely (e.g., failed lock mechanism), we’ll explain options before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many new keys can be supplied and programmed the same day, often during the same visit. Timing depends on the vehicle make/model and key type (basic, remote fob, smart/proximity). Call for an accurate timeframe for your car.
My key fob stopped working in Chislehurst. Could it just be the battery?
Often yes. We can test, replace the battery, and re-sync the remote where needed. If the fault is deeper (e.g., transponder or immobiliser issue), we provide on-site diagnostics and key fob repair and programming.
What should I do if my car key breaks in the ignition?
Stop trying to turn it and don’t force the cylinder. We can perform broken key extraction and inspect the ignition barrel. If required, we carry out car lock and ignition repair to restore reliable starting.
Is it cheaper to use a locksmith than a main dealer?
In many urgent or mobile scenarios, yes—especially when factoring towing and wait times. We provide quick, on-site solutions with dealer-level tools. For more information, see our notes on auto locksmith prices Bromley.
