FAQs For Drivers In Preston, HA9
Do you damage the car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, including specialist lock picks and air wedges that avoid paintwork damage. In the rare case a destructive method is safer (for example, a severely damaged or tampered lock), we’ll explain the reason, costs, and obtain your approval before proceeding.
Can you program smart keys and proximity fobs in Preston?
Yes. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and push-to-start systems using dealer-level equipment. We can synchronise keys to your immobiliser and ECU and test all functions on-site.
I’ve lost all my car keys in HA9—can you help without the original?
Yes. We can create new keys without the original by decoding the lock and programming a new transponder/smart key to your car. We can also remove old keys from memory to protect against theft.
My key fob stopped working outside Preston Road—what should I try first?
Check or replace the fob battery. If it still fails, there may be a fob fault or a car-side issue (antenna, receiver, or immobiliser sync). We offer quick diagnostics and can repair or replace and reprogram the fob on-site. See our guide to key fob not working.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most replacements are completed in one visit, typically within a single appointment window. Timing depends on the vehicle, key type (basic, remote, smart), and whether additional programming or EEPROM work is needed.
How much will it cost?
Prices vary based on vehicle make/model/year, key type, and whether it’s an emergency call-out or a standard appointment. For transparent pricing advice, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Harrow or contact us for an accurate quote.
