FAQs For Toddington Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. We can decode your locks or use manufacturer data to cut a new key, then programme the transponder or smart system so it starts the car. If your old key is lost or stolen, we can also remove it from the vehicle’s memory.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using manufacturer-specific lock picks and professional access tools. If a lock is already damaged or a rare design requires drilling, we’ll explain your options first and only proceed with your approval.
How long does it take to get a new key in Toddington?
Most standard and remote keys can be cut and programmed in a single visit. Smart/proximity systems and certain premium brands may take longer due to security procedures, but we complete the majority of jobs the same day on site.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We offer emergency support and flexible scheduling. If you need urgent help, please call for the fastest response.
Can you programme my key fob that has stopped working?
Often yes. We can re-synchronise or reprogramme many fobs. If the PCB is damaged or the housing is cracked, we can supply and programme a replacement fob and transfer components where appropriate.
