Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Witley?
We maintain realistic response times based on current location and traffic. Most Witley callouts are attended within the hour during standard hours. Emergency situations receive priority dispatch.
Will you damage my car getting in?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible—lock picking, decoding, and specialised tools that protect your vehicle’s integrity. In rare circumstances where damage is unavoidable (for example, certain high-security locks with no alternative access), we discuss this transparently before proceeding.
Can you make a key if I’ve lost all copies?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s lock or ignition barrel, we can decode the necessary information and cut a new key from scratch. We then programme it to your immobiliser system—no original required.
Is it cheaper than going to a main dealer?
Typically yes, especially when you factor in towing costs, waiting times, and dealer labour rates. Our mobile service comes to you and completes most work in a single visit.
Do you work on vans and commercial vehicles?
Absolutely. Our van and commercial locksmith service covers Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, and many other commercial models. Fleet enquiries welcome.
