FAQs for Pitstone Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Pitstone without the original?
Yes. We can cut a replacement from the vehicle’s lock/ignition code or by decoding the lock, then program the transponder and remote to your immobiliser. This is often quicker than dealer routes. See car key replacement.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques in the vast majority of cases, using specialist tools and methods designed for modern locks. If a lock is heavily damaged or previously tampered with, we’ll discuss options before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key made?
Many Pitstone callouts are completed in one visit, often within the same appointment window. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type (standard, remote, smart), and whether EEPROM/ECU work is required.
My key fob stopped working—do I need a new one?
Not always. We’ll check the battery, circuit board, and re-synchronisation first. If the fob is beyond repair, we can supply and program a replacement. Read more at key fob not working.
Do you cover evenings and weekends for emergencies?
Yes. We provide emergency assistance across Pitstone and LU7. For urgent help, please Call 01582 377 902. For non-urgent bookings, use our contact form.
Can you program smart/proximity keys for newer models?
Yes. We handle smart keys and push-to-start systems using dealer-level diagnostics. For some vehicles, EEPROM or immobiliser programming is required—our technicians are trained and equipped for this.
