Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our coverage and service across Essex.

Yes. While our base is in Chelmsford, our mobile technicians cover the full county including rural and more remote areas. If your location is within Essex or a reasonable distance from the county border, please call us on 07791 205 595 and we will confirm coverage immediately. We would rather confirm over the phone than lose a job we could have attended.
Our target response time is within the hour for most Essex locations. Central Essex areas such as Chelmsford, Witham, Braintree, and Basildon are typically faster. More distant locations in north or east Essex may take a little longer, but we will always give you an honest estimated arrival time when you call. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Yes. Our emergency line (07791 205 595) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays. Our office lines (01245 377 708 and 01708 918 798) operate Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm. For any out-of-hours emergency, always call the mobile line directly.
In the vast majority of cases, yes. Dealerships charge a significant premium for key replacements and often require you to wait several days or even weeks for parts and programming. Our mobile service carries the equipment and key blanks for most makes and models, so we can complete the job on-site at a considerably lower cost. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins.
Yes. We are experienced van and truck key specialists, working with sole traders, small businesses, and larger fleets throughout Essex. Whether you need a single van key replaced or a full fleet re-keyed, we can discuss the best approach. Call us to talk through your requirements and we will provide a tailored quote.
It helps to have your vehicle's make, model, and year handy, along with your precise location. Proof of ownership (such as your V5C logbook, a photo ID, or insurance documents) will be required before any key replacement or programming work is carried out. If you are locked out with no documents available, please call us and we can discuss what to bring or arrange.
