Selsdon FAQs

Can you unlock my car without damage?

Yes—non-destructive entry is our default approach. We use specialist picks and decoding tools to open doors without damage wherever possible. If a lock is severely damaged or tampered with, we’ll explain safe alternatives first.

Can you make a new car key without the original?

In most cases, yes. We can create and program a new key without the original using your vehicle’s security data and dealer-level diagnostics. For certain models, EEPROM or immobiliser work may be required, which we can do on-site or bench-side as needed.

How long does it take to get a new car key in Selsdon?

Many keys can be cut and programmed the same visit. Timing depends on the make, model, year, and key type (basic, remote, or smart/proximity). We’ll confirm realistic timings when you call.

Yes. We provide emergency support across Selsdon, CR2, and wider Croydon outside standard hours, including weekends and holidays when possible.

Will you need to tow the car to a dealer?

No—our mobile service brings dealer-level equipment to you. That’s often faster and more convenient than a main dealer, especially for car key replacement and programming.
