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

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a rare exception is required due to a damaged lock, deadlocking, or previous tampering, we will explain why, outline options, and get your consent before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed in a single visit the same day, depending on your key type and stock availability. Smart/proximity keys or complex immobiliser issues may take longer, but we’ll advise realistic timeframes upfront.

Absolutely. We support popular vans and light commercial vehicles for unlocking, key replacement, and programming. See our van and commercial locksmith service.
