FAQs For Crafton
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We use your vehicle’s VIN and onboard diagnostics to originate and program a new key. For some models, EEPROM techniques are used to read immobiliser data when standard OBD2 methods are insufficient. Start with a free quote.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our first approach is always non-destructive entry using specialist tools and methods suited to your vehicle’s locks. If we anticipate any risk of damage or the need for drilling due to a fault, we’ll explain the options clearly before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key in Crafton?
Many replacements are completed in a single mobile visit, often the same day depending on your vehicle and key type. We’ll confirm availability and timings when you call.
Can you fix “key not detected” or an immobiliser warning?
Yes. We diagnose key, antenna, and immobiliser issues, reprogram transponders, pair smart keys, and, where required, perform ECU/immobiliser programming. See our car key programming service.
