FAQs
I've locked my keys in my car, what should I do?
Getting locked out of your car can be stressful, especially if you’re in a hurry or have a child or pet inside. The best course of action is to search for “auto locksmith near me” or “car unlocking services.” A professional locksmith can safely and efficiently regain access to your vehicle without causing any damage.
Can you replace the key for my car?
Yes, auto locksmiths can replace keys for most car brands and models using various programming methods. However, some manufacturers encrypt immobiliser data, requiring specialised dealer tools for key programming.
Even in these cases, an auto locksmith can source the key from the dealership and program it for you, saving you the hassle and expense of towing your car to a dealership. Before reaching out to a dealer, it’s always best to check with an auto locksmith first, as they can often provide a faster and more cost-effective solution.
Do you offer any warranty?
Yes, all our work is covered by a 12-month warranty for your peace of mind. However, if your vehicle remote stops working, we recommend checking the key battery first, as this is often the cause of the issue.
Why won't my key turn in my lock or ignition?
Car ignitions and door locks contain small, intricate components that can wear down over time. This natural wear and tear can cause the key blade to misalign or the wafers inside the ignition to wear down, preventing the key from turning. In some cases, a full ignition replacement may be necessary. Fortunately, an auto locksmith can diagnose the issue and replace the ignition on-site, saving you time and hassle.
