FAQs For Brentford Ait Drivers
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN, lock decoding, and dealer-level programming, we can create and program a new key or fob without the original. We’ll ask for proof of ownership before work begins.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible and always aim to prevent damage. If a rare exception requires drilling or component replacement, we’ll explain the reasons, risks, and costs first and proceed only with your agreement.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, often the same day, depending on your vehicle and key type. We carry a wide stock for common models to speed things up.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in TW8?
Yes. We provide emergency support with efficient dispatch across Brentford Ait, Brentford, Kew Bridge, and the wider TW postcode area, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Is it cheaper than going to the dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing and waiting times. We come to you, cut and program on-site, and offer clear quotes. For more detail, read about our approach on auto locksmith prices Twickenham.
What should I do if my key fob stops working suddenly?
Try a fresh battery first. If it still fails, the fob may need reprogramming or repair, or the car’s receiver may have an issue. We can diagnose with OBD2 tools and perform car key programming on-site.
