Shepperton FAQs
Can you make a new car key in Shepperton without the original?
Yes. In most cases, we can create a new key without the original by securely accessing immobiliser data via OBD2 and, when required, EEPROM/ECU programming. We also cut a new blade and program the transponder and remote functions.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using specialist tools and methods designed for your vehicle. If a rare exception arises, such as a severely damaged lock that requires drilling, we’ll explain your options and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many keys can be cut and programmed on-site the same visit, depending on the make, model, and key type (basic, remote fob, smart/proximity). We’ll advise realistic timings when you call.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Shepperton?
Yes, we provide emergency support for lockouts and urgent key issues. If your situation is time-critical, visit our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Twickenham page or call us.
