Yes. We can create and program a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. For some models this involves EEPROM or ECU programming. Proof of ownership is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock is already damaged or a rare situation requires drilling or component replacement, we’ll explain it first and get your approval.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most replacements are completed in a single visit. Timing depends on vehicle brand, key type (remote or smart key), and immobiliser system. We’ll provide an accurate estimate when you call.

Yes. We handle smart key programming and keyless entry systems for many brands, including 2024/2025 models, using dealer-level equipment.
