FAQs For Drivers In St Mary’s Island

Can you make a new car key without the original?

Yes. Our locksmith can create a new key from the vehicle using specialist key cutting and programming equipment. We verify ownership and ID, then cut and program the key on-site.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare case a different approach is the only option, we’ll explain the method and any risks clearly before we start.

How long does it take to get a new car key?

Many replacements are completed the same visit, subject to vehicle make, model, and key type. Smart/proximity keys or certain immobiliser systems may take longer, but we’ll give a realistic timeframe in your quote.

Can you programme smart keys and proximity fobs?

Yes. We handle smart key programming and keyless entry fobs for many brands using OBD2 diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM/immobiliser programming.

What should I do if my key is stolen on the Island?

Call us. We can delete the lost key from the vehicle’s memory, supply and program a new key, and advise on additional security if needed. We can also provide documentation for your insurer if required.
