FAQs For Oakleigh Park Drivers
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original in N20?
Yes. With proof of ownership, we can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks or immobiliser data. Using OBD2 or EEPROM methods, we program a transponder or smart key so it starts the car just like the original.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non‑destructive entry techniques as standard. That means picking or decoding the lock rather than prying or forcing. Only in rare, pre‑agreed cases—such as a severely damaged lock—might a component need drilling and replacement, and we’ll explain options first.
How quickly can you get to Oakleigh Park?
We don’t make hard ETA promises, but we operate a mobile service across North London and N20 with efficient dispatch. We keep you updated, and most local callouts are handled promptly.
Can you program smart keys and proximity fobs?
Absolutely. We handle smart/proximity keys and push‑to‑start systems for many makes and models. We’ll advise whether OBD2 programming is suitable or if EEPROM/immobiliser work is required for your specific vehicle.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support outside standard hours because car key problems don’t keep office hours. If it’s urgent, call us and we’ll prioritise accordingly.
What details should I have ready when I call?
The vehicle make, model, registration/year, a description of the problem, and your location in Oakleigh Park. If keys are lost or stolen, let us know so we can prepare to erase old keys from the system for your security.
Does car insurance cover lost keys in the UK?
Some policies include lost or stolen key cover, either as standard or an add‑on. It varies by insurer. We can provide an invoice for claims if your policy includes it.
