Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key in Lilley without the original?
Yes. We can decode the lock, cut a new key, and program the transponder/remote at your location. This avoids towing to a dealer and is often faster and more convenient. If you’re unsure what key type you have, we’ll advise on the call.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible, such as professional lock-picking and door tools. In rare cases where components are damaged or high-security locks require it, we discuss minimal drilling or part replacement before we start.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Most standard transponder or remote keys can be cut and programmed during a single visit. Timing depends on make/model, security system, and whether EEPROM/ECU work is necessary. We’ll give an estimated timescale when you enquire.
Can you program smart/proximity keys for push-to-start cars?
Yes. We provide smart key programming and immobiliser pairing using dealer-level equipment. For some brands, an additional security code or online authorisation may be required; we manage this process for you.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Lilley?
Yes. We offer emergency support across Lilley and LU2 during evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. For urgent assistance, please Call 01582 377 902.
Is it cheaper than going to the main dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing and waiting times. Our mobile service comes to you and can typically complete the job the same day. For details, see auto locksmith prices in Luton.
