FAQs: Staines-upon-Thames Drivers
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle details and specialised programming tools, we can create and program a new key even if all keys are lost. Depending on the model, this may involve OBD2 programming or EEPROM/immobiliser work.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive techniques wherever possible. If a lock is severely damaged or a design leaves no non-destructive option, we’ll discuss any minor invasive steps with you first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most replacements are completed in one visit, often the same day. Timing depends on your vehicle make, model, and key type (basic, remote fob, or smart/proximity).
Can you program a smart or proximity key near Staines Bridge or the station?
Absolutely. Our mobile units cover all of TW18 and can program smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems on-site.
Do you service vans and fleets on the Causeway?
Yes. We provide van and commercial vehicle locksmith services for trades and fleets, including rapid entry and spare keys for Transits, Vivaros, Sprinters, and more.
Is it cheaper than going to the dealer?
Often, yes—especially for mobile convenience and same-day help. For an accurate figure, request an auto locksmith quote in Twickenham or contact us directly.
