FAQs for Drivers in Bowes
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN, key code where available, and immobiliser data, we can cut and programme a replacement key without the original. This often involves OBD2 diagnostics and, for certain models, EEPROM/ECU programming to securely pair the new key.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
In many cases, we complete car key replacement in a single visit. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type (basic, remote, or smart), and whether EEPROM or immobiliser programming is required. We’ll give an accurate timeframe when you contact us.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a rare exception applies due to a mechanical fault, deadlocks, or previous damage, we’ll explain options clearly and only proceed with your approval.
Do you operate evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support across North London with efficient dispatch, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. If your situation is urgent, please call for the quickest response.
Can you reprogram a used car key fob?
Sometimes. Many vehicles require virgin (unused) keys, while others allow certain used fobs to be reprogrammed after specialist procedures. We’ll assess your make and model and advise the most reliable, cost-effective route.
Does car insurance cover lost keys in the UK?
Some policies include lost or stolen key cover as standard or an optional add-on. It varies by insurer. We can provide an invoice and details to support a claim if your policy covers it.
