FAQs for Hamstreet, TN26
Can you make a new car key without the original in Hamstreet?
Yes. In most cases we can create a replacement without the original by decoding the lock or reading immobiliser data using OBD2 or EEPROM tools. We’ll then cut and program the new key on site.

We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. Modern tools and techniques allow safe entry without harming paintwork or seals. If a rare exception applies (for example, a severely damaged or modified lock), we’ll explain the options first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed in a single visit. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type (standard, remote, or smart/proximity), and whether keys are lost or you simply need a spare. Call for an accurate time estimate.
