FAQs For Downswood Drivers
Can you unlock my car without damage?
Yes—our car unlock service uses non-destructive entry in the vast majority of cases. If a lock is severely damaged or has failed mechanically, we’ll explain the options first and only proceed with your approval.
I’ve lost my only key in Downswood. Can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a replacement without the original key for most makes and models, using dealer-level diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM techniques to pair the new key to your immobiliser.
My key fob stopped working—do I need a battery or a new fob?
It depends. Sometimes it’s just a depleted battery or de-synchronised remote. We can test this on-site and advise on a simple battery change, reprogramming, or full key fob replacement if required. See our guide to key fob not working.
Do you make spare keys on-site in ME15?
Yes. We offer on-site car key cutting and duplication for many key types, including transponder and smart keys, so you can leave with a fully tested spare.
Are you cheaper and quicker than a main dealer for keys?
Often, yes. As a mobile service, we come to you, avoid towing, and can deliver same-day or next-day solutions in many cases. Learn more on auto locksmith vs dealer cost Medway.
