FAQs For Harrietsham Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original by using your vehicle’s VIN, lock data, and secure programming via OBD2 or EEPROM where required. This is a common request for lost keys in ME17.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, protecting your paintwork and seals. If a rare exception is required due to the vehicle’s security design, we’ll explain the method and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements can be completed in a single visit—often the same day—depending on the make, model, and key type. Smart and proximity keys can take a little longer due to immobiliser pairing and testing.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in ME17?
Yes. We provide emergency support across the ME postcode area, including Harrietsham, during evenings, weekends, and holidays. If it’s urgent, please call for the fastest response.
My key fob stopped working after a battery change—can you help?
Yes. Sometimes fobs need re-synchronising or reprogramming after a battery swap. We offer a full key fob not working diagnosis and can repair or replace the fob if needed.
What if my key is stuck in the ignition?
Do not force it. We can perform broken ignition key extraction and carry out ignition repair or replacement if required. See our guidance on car lock and ignition issues.
