Can you replace my car key if I’ve lost the only key I had in Hither Green?

This is a common request and something we handle regularly for customers across SE13.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Our technicians are trained in a range of specialist techniques and carry purpose-designed tools that allow us to unlock vehicles without causing damage. In very rare circumstances where non-destructive entry is not achievable — for example, with certain high-security lock designs — we will always explain the situation fully and discuss the options with you before taking any action.
