Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Upshire?
Our mobile units operate across the EN postcode area with efficient dispatch from local bases. While we don’t promise specific arrival times, we prioritise emergency calls and keep you informed throughout.
Do you work on farm vehicles and machinery?
Yes. Beyond standard cars and vans, we handle many agricultural vehicles, quad bikes, and equipment with keyed ignition systems common on Upshire farms.
Can you make a key without the original?
Absolutely. Using your vehicle’s lock or ignition barrel, we decode the necessary information to cut a working key, then program it to your immobiliser system.
Is your service cheaper than a main dealer?
Typically yes—often significantly. Dealers require you to transport the vehicle, charge premium rates, and may need several days. We come to you, work immediately, and price competitively.
What if my key fob stops working while I’m away from home?
Call us. We carry diagnostic equipment and replacement components to resolve most key fob issues roadside, including battery replacement, casing repair, and full reprogramming.
Do you cover the smaller lanes and farm tracks around Upshire?
Our mobile vans are designed for rural access. We regularly reach customers on unmade roads and remote properties throughout the area.
