FAQs
Can you make a Land Rover key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new Land Rover key without the original by verifying vehicle ownership, decoding the lock, cutting a new key, and programming it to your immobiliser. This is handled on-site with our mobile equipment.
Will you damage my Land Rover when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On Land Rover models, we typically gain entry using specialist tools without damage. If a rare exception requires a different approach, we’ll explain and seek your approval first.
How long does Land Rover key programming take?
It depends on the model and system. A straightforward smart key programming job can often be completed the same day. More complex immobiliser or EEPROM work may take longer. Call for an accurate timescale for your specific model.
My Land Rover says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, replace the key fob battery if you can. If the issue persists, there may be a fob fault, antenna issue, or immobiliser pairing problem. We can diagnose and fix this on-site, including key fob repair or reprogramming.
Do you cover Range Rover, Evoque, Velar, and Sport models?
Absolutely. We handle key cutting, smart key programming, and unlocking for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Velar, and other Land Rover models, including the latest model years.
Is a locksmith quicker than a Land Rover dealer?
Often, yes. As a mobile service we come to you, avoid towing, and can supply and program keys roadside. This is usually faster and more convenient than booking into a dealer.
