FAQs For Cowley Drivers
Can you make a new car key in Cowley without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key without the original. Depending on the vehicle, we’ll use OBD2 diagnostics or, for certain models, EEPROM/ECU data to code the replacement key.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. We use professional tools and methods to protect locks, frames, and weather seals. In rare cases where drilling or part replacement is the safest option, we’ll explain why and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Most vehicles can be unlocked and supplied with a working key the same visit. Timing varies by make/model and key type (standard vs smart/proximity), but we’ll give you an estimated completion time upfront.
My key fob has stopped working—what should I try first?
Replace the fob battery if you can, and check for visible damage. If the issue persists or the car says “key not detected,” we can test the fob, antennas, and immobiliser data and provide a fix on site.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Cowley?
Yes. We offer emergency support outside standard hours. Call us and we’ll dispatch a mobile technician to your location in Cowley and the UB area.
Do you provide spare keys?
Absolutely. We can cut and program spare car keys—including smart/proximity types—so you’re not caught out again.
