## Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you charge a call-out fee? No. The price I quote on the phone is the price you pay — no call-out fee and no VAT added.
- How quickly can you reach me? I aim to be with you within around 30 minutes across Durham and most of the North East, depending on where I am at the time and current traffic.
- Do you come to me or do I need to bring the car to you? I am fully mobile and come to you — home, work, car park or roadside. No recovery truck or dealership visit needed.
- Can you replace a car key if I have lost every key? Yes. I can wipe the system and code brand-new keys on site for most makes and models, without a main-dealer trip.
- What information do you need to give a quote? Your vehicle make, model, year and registration. With that I can confirm I have the right equipment and give you a fixed price before I travel.
- Do you need to see ID? Yes. I need photo ID such as a UK driving licence plus proof of keepership like the V5C or a current insurance certificate before any work starts.
- Can you program transponders, remote fobs and smart keys? Yes, for most makes including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Peugeot and many more.
- Are you insured and qualified? Fully insured, DBS checked and SERMI registered, with 17 years in the motor trade behind me.
- What if my car keys have been stolen? I can remove the old keys from your car's system and code new ones so the stolen keys can no longer start or access the vehicle.
- What are your working hours? Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with emergency cover on Sundays.
