Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key in Dungeness if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can create a replacement without the original. We decode the lock, cut a new key, and program the transponder/remote to your immobiliser. For advanced systems we use OBD2 or EEPROM techniques. Proof of ownership is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We prioritise non-destructive entry using professional tools. In rare cases where a lock is already damaged or design limitations apply, we’ll explain options and obtain your approval before doing anything.
How long does a replacement car key take?
Many standard keys and transponder fobs are completed during a single visit. Smart/proximity systems and some premium brands can take longer due to security procedures, but we aim to finish efficiently at your location.
My key fob isn’t responding. Could it be the battery?
Often yes, but not always. We test the fob and the vehicle’s receiver, replace the battery if needed, and reprogram where required. If the fob is faulty, we supply and program a new one. See more on key fob not working.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles around Dungeness?
