FAQs: Renault Keys and Locksmith Services
Can you replace a Renault key card if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can make a new Renault key or key card without the original. Our mobile technicians use OBD2 diagnostics and secure coding to pair the new key to your immobiliser. We’ll guide you on the ID we need before we attend.
My Renault says “Card Not Detected.” Can you fix this?
We can diagnose whether the issue is with the card, vehicle antennas, or a low battery/voltage problem. Often we resolve it with a new key card or reprogramming; we’ll test the RF signal and immobiliser pairing to confirm the root cause.
How long does Renault key programming take?
Most on-site Renault key card or key programming jobs take 30–60 minutes once we arrive, depending on model and system. Complex immobiliser or EEPROM work can take longer, but we’ll advise you upfront.
Will you damage my Renault when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. Our tools and techniques protect your paintwork, locks, and seals. In the rare case drilling or part removal is unavoidable, we’ll explain why and get your consent before proceeding.
Can you make a spare Renault key at my home or work?
Yes. We’re a mobile auto locksmith service. We cut and program spare Renault keys and key cards across South West London at a time and place that suits you.
Is a locksmith faster than going to a Renault dealer?
In most cases, yes. We offer same-day or next-day solutions and come to you, which avoids recovery or long dealer lead times. We’re a practical alternative to dealer key replacement with competitive quotes.
