Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Shamley Green?
We aim to reach customers in the GU5 area promptly, typically faster than services dispatched from larger towns. Exact timing depends on current demand and your precise location, but we’ll always give you an honest estimate when you call.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s lock or ignition, we can cut a new key blade and programme the transponder chip to match your immobiliser system. This is one of our most common services for customers who’ve lost their only key.
Will unlocking my car damage it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques as standard—specialist tools that manipulate the lock mechanism without forcing windows or doors. Your vehicle’s paint, trim, and locking system remain intact.
Do you work on vans and commercial vehicles?
Absolutely. Our van and commercial locksmith service covers everything from small delivery vans to larger fleet vehicles. We understand that commercial downtime costs money, so we prioritise efficient service.
How much does a replacement car key cost in Shamley Green?
Costs vary based on your vehicle make, model, year, and the type of key required. Rather than publish misleading fixed prices, we provide free, accurate quotes over the phone based on your specific situation. We’re typically more affordable than main dealers and faster too.
Can you programme keyless entry fobs and smart keys?
Yes. We programme proximity keys, push-to-start fobs, and advanced keyless systems for most modern vehicles using dealer-level diagnostic equipment.
