FAQs for Stockgrove Drivers

Yes. In most cases we can cut and program a new key without the original using your vehicle’s VIN/lock data and immobiliser programming. We’ll need proof of ownership before starting.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock is damaged or a special method is required, we’ll explain the risks and get your permission before proceeding.
My key fob stopped working—do I need a new one?
