FAQs For Ruxley Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Ruxley without the original?
Yes. We can decode the lock, cut a new blade, and program a transponder or smart key to your vehicle. We’ll also remove lost or stolen keys from the system for security. Read more about lost or stolen car keys.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as lock picks and decoding tools. In rare cases where parts are already damaged or a manufacturer’s design leaves no alternative, we’ll discuss options and costs before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, often the same day, depending on the vehicle and key type. Complex smart keys or certain immobiliser systems may take longer, but we’ll advise clearly when you call.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in BR8?
Yes. We handle vans and light commercials, including Ford Transit, Vauxhall Vivaro, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter, and more. See our van & commercial locksmith.
Is using a local auto locksmith cheaper than a dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you’re immobilised. We come to you, saving towing and wait times. Learn about value and factors on our auto locksmith prices in Bromley.
What if my key fob has stopped working suddenly?
We test the battery and electronics, repair where viable, or supply and program a replacement. For persistent faults, we check central locking modules and immobiliser sync. See key fob not working.
