FAQs for Holloway Drivers

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?

Yes. Using your vehicle’s locks and diagnostic data, we can cut a new key and program its transponder so the car recognises it. This is often quicker and more convenient than going to a dealer.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible—specialist picks, air wedges, and decoding tools. In the rare cases where a mechanical fault or high-security lock requires a different approach, we’ll explain options and get your approval first.

How long does it take to get a new car key?

Many keys can be supplied and programmed in a single visit. Timing depends on your vehicle’s make, model, year, and key type (standard transponder vs. smart/proximity). We’ll advise realistic timeframes when you contact us.

My key fob isn’t responding—what should I try first?

Try the spare key (if you have one) and replace the fob battery. If it still doesn’t respond, the transponder or remote may need reprogramming or repair. We can test and fix this on-site. You can read more on key fob not working.

Do you work evenings and weekends in Holloway?

Yes. We provide emergency support and flexible appointments, including evenings and weekends, across Holloway and nearby North London areas.

Is a mobile auto locksmith cheaper than a dealer?

Often, yes—especially when factoring time and towing. We come to you and can usually complete everything in one visit. Learn more about value and cost factors on our auto locksmith pricing page.
