Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a new car key in Chislet without the original?

Yes. We can create and program a new key from your vehicle using our diagnostic equipment. In many cases we can also remove lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser memory so only your new keys will start the car.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

Our priority is non-destructive entry. We use specialist lock picks, air wedges, and manufacturer-informed procedures to protect your vehicle. If a lock is already damaged or a rare invasive method is unavoidable, we’ll explain the risks and get your consent first.

Do you cover evenings and weekends in CT3?

Yes. We offer emergency support outside standard hours. For immediate help, please Call 01227 953 694.

Do you handle proximity and push-to-start keys?

Absolutely. We provide smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and keyless entry fob services using OBD2 and immobiliser tools. Some models may require EEPROM techniques; our technicians are trained and equipped for these scenarios.

I’ve locked my keys in the boot near Grove Ferry—can you help?

Yes. We handle locked keys in the boot or cabin with non-destructive methods where possible. Share your exact location and vehicle details and we’ll dispatch a mobile unit.

Is it cheaper and quicker than going to the dealer?

In most cases, yes. As a mobile auto locksmith we come to you, often the same day, and handle both cutting and programming on-site—no towing or multi-day waits. For guidance on value and what affects your quote, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Canterbury.
