FAQs for Dedworth Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data using dealer-level tools. For many cars, we program the new transponder via OBD2; for some models we may use EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming. If your key is lost or stolen, we can also delete old keys so they no longer start the car.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our priority is non-destructive entry. We use specialist tools to unlock doors without damage in the vast majority of cases. In rare situations—such as severe lock failure—we will discuss options and costs before any work, and replace parts as needed.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed in a single visit, often the same day. Timing depends on your vehicle make, model, key type (standard, remote, smart), and whether diagnostics or immobiliser programming is required.
Can you program smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems?
Yes. We provide smart key programming and proximity key replacement for many brands, including newer models. We’ll confirm compatibility when you call with your vehicle details.
Do you cover vans and commercial fleets in Dedworth?
Absolutely. We support vans and commercial vehicles with key cutting, programming, unlocking, and lock repairs. Our van and commercial locksmith service is ideal for local businesses needing fast, mobile support.
How much does car key programming cost in Dedworth?
