Security, Insurance, And Proof Of Ownership
Your security matters. We ask for ID and proof of ownership before cutting or programming keys. We hold public liability insurance, and our engineers are DBS-checked. Where keys are lost or stolen, we can erase old keys from the immobiliser database and reprogram new ones so the missing key no longer starts the car.
Preventative Advice For Bowes Park Drivers
- Keep A Spare: A spare saves time and cost if you lose the primary key. Consider getting one programmed when everything is working smoothly.
- Mind The Battery: Many “fob not working” issues stem from tiny coin-cell batteries; ask us about quick battery replacement and testing.
- Watch For Warning Signs: Reduced range, intermittent lock/unlock, or a flashing key symbol can indicate a failing fob or transponder pairing.
- Avoid Forcing Ignitions: If the key won’t turn, stop. Forcing it can snap the blade or damage the barrel. Call us to assess and repair.
FAQs
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. We use diagnostics to read your vehicle’s immobiliser information and then cut and program a new key to match. On some models, this is done via OBD2; on others we may use EEPROM-based methods. We’ll ask for proof of ownership before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key in Bowes Park?
Most replacements are completed in a single mobile visit. The time depends on your vehicle make/model and key type (basic, remote, or smart/proximity). We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our priority is non-destructive entry. Using specialist tools and techniques, we aim to leave no trace. In rare cases of severe lock damage or particular security faults, we’ll explain any risks and get your consent before work.
Do you operate evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support when you need it, including evenings and weekends. If you’re locked out or stranded, call and we’ll prioritise your job.
Can you reprogram a used key fob?
Some vehicles allow a previously used fob to be “virginised” and paired, but many modern systems permanently lock keys to the original car. We’ll advise the most reliable, cost-effective option for your model.
What should I do if my key is stuck in the ignition or it won’t turn?
Don’t force it—this can snap the key or damage the barrel. We can assess the lock, extract a broken blade if necessary, and repair or replace ignition components where required.
