FAQs For Drivers In Slapton
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle using specialist tools, then program it to your immobiliser. We’ll ask for proof of ownership and ID before we start for security.
Will you damage my car to unlock it?
Our methods are non-destructive wherever possible. We use professional lock picks, air wedges, and manufacturer-specific techniques to avoid damage. If a component is already damaged or drilling is the only safe option, we will discuss it with you first.
How long does a replacement key take?
Many standard keys and fobs can be cut and programmed the same visit. Times vary by make, model, year, and whether immobiliser data access (e.g., EEPROM) is required. We’ll estimate timings during your call.
Can you program smart keys and proximity fobs?
Yes. We handle smart/proximity keys, push-to-start systems, and remote fobs using dealer-level diagnostics. We also manage ECU/immobiliser programming where needed.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in LU7?
Absolutely. We work with popular vans (Transit, Vivaro, Transporter, Sprinter, Berlingo, Trafic and more) for unlocking, replacement keys, and programming. Fleet support available.
