Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you understand how we can get you back on the road.
I've lost all my car keys, can you help?
Yes, absolutely. We can come to your vehicle, pick the lock to gain entry without damage, decode the lock to cut a new mechanical key blade, and then program the new transponder chip to your car's immobiliser system.
I'm locked out with the keys inside. Will you damage my car?
No. We use specialist non-destructive auto locksmith techniques and tools (such as Lishi picks) to pick your vehicle's lock. We will gain entry with zero damage to your doors, windows, or locking mechanism.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire East Coast area, primarily focusing on Bridlington, Filey, Scarborough, Whitby, and the surrounding villages. If you are slightly outside this area, give us a call anyway to check availability.
How much does it cost?
Prices vary depending on the vehicle make, model, year, and your location. However, our services start from just £99. Always call for a free, no-obligation full quote so you know exactly what you'll pay before we arrive.
Do you do vans and commercial vehicles?
Yes. We specialize in van security, including Ford Transits, Vauxhall Vivaros, VW Transporters, and more. We know tradesmen need their vans to earn a living, so we prioritize getting you back to work.
How fast can you get here?
For emergencies (locked out or completely lost keys), we aim to be with you as quickly as traffic allows, often within 30-60 minutes depending on your location on the East Coast.
Do you work on plant and machinery?
We specialise in Kubota plant and machinery keys. If you've lost or broken a Kubota key, we can cut and supply a replacement on site. We don't currently cover other plant or machinery brands.
How can I pay?
We carry mobile card readers and accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as cash or bank transfer upon completion of the work.
