FAQs for Harlington Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Harlington without the original?
Yes. Our mobile technicians can create a new key from your vehicle using dealer-level diagnostics and, where required, EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming. This avoids towing to a dealer.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as professional picks and air wedges. In the rare event a component is already damaged or a specific lock requires drilling, we’ll explain and get approval first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in a single visit, often the same day. Timing depends on the make, model, key type, and whether it’s a lost-all-keys scenario or a spare.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in LU5?
Yes. We support vans and light commercial vehicles, including Ford Transit, Mercedes Vito/Sprinter, Vauxhall Vivaro, VW Transporter, and more. We also assist local fleets.
My key fob isn’t working after I changed the battery. Can you help?
Yes. Some vehicles need the remote re-synchronised or reprogrammed after a battery swap. We’ll test the fob, the vehicle’s receiver, and reprogram if needed.
What should I do first if I’ve lost my only car key in Harlington?
If you’re worried about security, we can erase the lost key from the immobiliser and program a new one. Call us with your registration and location for guidance and a free quote.
