FAQs For Horton Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our priority is non-destructive entry using professional tools. In rare cases involving severe lock damage or security upgrades, minimal drilling or component replacement may be necessary. We’ll explain options and obtain your approval before proceeding.

Absolutely. We supply and program smart/proximity keys and push-to-start fobs for most brands using dealer-level diagnostics and programming tools. Visit our car key programming page for details.

Are you insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. All technicians are DBS-checked and covered by public liability insurance. We also provide warranties on new keys and our workmanship.
