FAQs
Can you make a new car key without the original in Wood Green?
Yes. For most vehicles we can create a replacement key without the original by reading the car’s immobiliser data via OBD2 or, for certain models, using EEPROM/ECU methods. We then cut and program a new key or fob on-site.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In the rare event a lock is already damaged or a specific security system requires an alternative approach, we’ll explain the situation and obtain your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacement keys can be cut and programmed the same visit, often within a single appointment. Times vary by make, model, key type and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
Can you program a used key fob?
In some cases, yes, but many used fobs are locked to another vehicle and can’t be reprogrammed. We’ll advise based on your make and model and, if needed, supply a compatible new fob that we can program to your car.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in N22?
Yes. We offer emergency support and efficient dispatch across Wood Green and nearby N postcodes, including evenings and weekends. Call us and we’ll advise availability and next steps.
Do you work with vans such as Ford Transit and Vivaro?
Absolutely. We regularly provide van key replacement, programming and unlocking for Ford Transit, VW Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro, Mercedes Vito and other commercial vehicles.
