FAQs For Abridge Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN, lock data, and immobiliser information, we can cut and program a new key on site. For many vehicles we connect through OBD2; some lost-all-keys scenarios may require EEPROM or immobiliser programming.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our methods are non-destructive wherever possible. We use specialist tools and manufacturer-aligned techniques. On rare occasions where drilling or parts replacement is the only safe route, we’ll explain the steps and costs first.
Can you program smart/proximity keys?
Yes. We handle smart keys and push-to-start systems for many brands, pairing them with your immobiliser/ECU and verifying keyless entry and start functions.
Do you help with vans and fleets in RM4?
Absolutely. We support trades and fleets in and around Abridge with urgent entry, key replacement, spare keys, and ongoing support. See our van and commercial locksmith.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed in a single visit. Timing varies by make/model and key type (remote vs. smart), and whether all keys are lost. Call for an accurate timeframe and quote.
Are your technicians insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and our technicians are DBS-checked for your reassurance.
