FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Do the Plates come drilled?As we are unable to ensure an exact line up of the holes we do not offer this. Fitting is available onsite if you can get your vehicle to our location. However the best way to ensure the drilled holes are correct is to use the previous numberplate as a template, laying the old over the new and carefully drilling through. Ensure your drill hole is big enough for the screw but not the head to allow a fit fitting.
-
Are 3D/4D plates legal?In short, the Plates we supply are 100% Road Legal (excluding the show plates we offer) to comply with Laws, Number plates must be spaced correctly, have solid black digits, show our Business name, Post Code and current BS AU 145e number. However once fitted its the owners responsibility to ensure they are clean and visible at all times. When fitting to comply with the law the White plate must be front facing and the Yellow rear facing.If you would like to find out more or have any questions please get in touch.

What is the Difference between 3D and 4D?Both these plates offer raised lettering on your plate. 3D letters are manufactured with a domed gel resin. 4D are solid Acrylic characters. 3D are glossy in appearance and rounded. 4D give a more solid look and a bolder style. 4D are also more obviously raised from the plate.

Why should I order a Touch Screen from BostonPlates?We have worked in the Automotive sector for a long time and have seen it from Manufacturer systems through to Aftermarket solutions. As such we know what is good, bad and indifferent. We have selected our products based on some key factors. Reliability, Quality and Value. We have done the work, the trial and error to find our products and source them from the best suppliers and manufactures. With Regards to the Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Wireless Bluetooth Touch Screen we have done just that. The Systems offer the most functionality and the best quality at a price which offers value. However for us the most important thing is we know our systems are real. We stock them so they are coming from the UK and they do exactly what we say they do. After all, Like all our products, we actually use them in or on our own cars!
-
Why are your prices so competitive?We are aware that our standard prices are what our competitors normally charge when they are doing sales. We also know we get our products from some of the best in their fields, so the product you get are of the highest quality, In fact we are confident that our products are far better quality than those competitors. We could increase our pricing, However that is not us! We want to offer our customers the best possible value. We believe as retailers our job is to offer the highest and best quality and then offer that at the best value price to our customers. We use our experience to bulk buy the best products direct from Manufactures cutting out the middleman and then pass these savings onto our customers. BostonPlates.co.uk is a platform we want to develop, to grow and offer more and more products to our customers. As such our pricing and quality standards will remain. Offer the best possible product at the lowest possible price. Thats true value!
-
Will I get what I have ordered?Simple answer is yes. We are not an Online only retailer. We have premises where our products can be viewed, purchased directly or collected. If you order online you are getting a product from our UK location. We are not an online advert without a face, which may take weeks to arrive and once it does is not the product or quality advertised. In fact if you are local to our store and order online, chances are we (the owners) will be to ones delivering the product too you. In short, we are more than happy to put our face to our products. Pre Internet values in the Internet age!

How do you create a Vehicle Key?Keys can be produced a number of ways depending on the vehicle and the situation. We can not only Cut the Metal Blades but also program the Chips to the car. We have specialist equipment allowing us to overcome many obstacles created by the individual situation from all keys lost to just needing a clone produced of a current key. Get in touch if you have any more information
-
Why are your keys cheaper and why not use my main dealer?Great question and easy to answer really. Main Dealers order replacement keys from the Manufacturer. This gives you a key with their badge but as they can not produce these keys on site they end up being specialist orders often coming from the car factories around the world. they take time and ultimately cost more to produce. BostonPlates Stock a supply of Generic keys, they look great have the same quality as the main dealer key but do not have the Brand Badge. These generic keys contain all the required Electronics and Computer Chips, depending on your vehicle we then add the correct software to match using the latest specialist Technology we have invested in. Its quite technical but we can happily explain more about the workings so please just get in touch.
-
Can you make a key if I have lost them all?In most cases yes, especially if you have access to the Key Number and Security Code. Some Manufactures give you this as part of the vehicle book pack on a small credit card size bit of paper or card or even as a sticker on the Service book. With these numbers we can make a key. If you don't have these numbers sometimes they can be obtained from a Main Dealer. In the event where they can not is where we shine! We can access your car damage free, Use our Tech to read the vehicle Computer to then code a new Key too..... Hey Presto your on the road again!
