Frequently Asked Questions
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks or by decoding and programming via OBD2/immobiliser data. This is often faster and more convenient than a main dealer. See our service for car key replacement Canterbury.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. In uncommon situations where a component is already damaged or seized, we’ll discuss any necessary steps (like drilling or replacement) and costs before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many Broad Oak call-outs are completed the same visit. Timing depends on the make, model, key type (remote or smart), and whether keys are lost or just need programming. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
Can you program smart or proximity keys?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, remote key programming, and ECU/immobiliser pairing with dealer-level tools. Learn more about our car key programming.
Do you cover vans and fleets in Broad Oak?
Yes. We support vans and commercial vehicles, including Ford Transit, VW Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter, and Vauxhall Vivaro. See our van and commercial locksmith service.
What should I do if my key fob stops working suddenly?
Try a fresh battery if possible. If it still fails, we can test and repair the fob, re-sync it, or supply a replacement. See common issues at key fob not working.
