FAQs for Cookham Dean Motorists
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN and immobiliser data, we can cut and program a new key without the original. This is often quicker than a dealer. Start with our car key replacement.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, typically the same day depending on key type and availability. Smart/proximity keys or advanced immobiliser systems can take longer due to programming steps.
My car says “key not detected” — what should I do?
Try a fresh fob battery and hold the fob near the start button or steering column (there’s often an emergency antenna there). If it still fails, we can diagnose and perform car key programming.
What should I do if my key breaks in the ignition?
Don’t force it. We offer broken key extraction and ignition repair. We’ll remove the fragment, assess the barrel, and cut a replacement if needed. See our guide to car lock and ignition issues.
Do you damage the vehicle when unlocking?
Our priority is non-destructive entry. In rare cases where a destructive method is unavoidable (severe lock failure), we’ll explain the reason and cost options before proceeding.
