Auto Locksmith Service

HOW CAN AN AUTOLOCKSMITH HELP YOU? Waking up on a Monday morning to discover your car has been covered in snow can be extremely frustrating. Now running late for work, it would be even more frustrating to accidentally lock your keys in the car while trying to defrost the windows.

During the winter months hundreds of motorists lock their keys in their car with the engine still running! A London auto locksmith can not only open your vehicle, but also repair snapped keys, remove broken keys from locks, replace damaged vehicle locks; and actually provide replacement car keys when you have lost them entirely!

If you are unfortunate enough to lock your keys in your car it will be typical that it happens when you are already running late for an important appointment. A good auto locksmith could be with you in as little as 30 minutes or less and have you back on the road five short minutes after.

You may have heard stories about how “when you dad was a lad” you could open a car using a coat hanger and a shoe lace! You may have even seen some of the spoof videos on You Tube claiming to open a locked car with half a tennis ball. With the sophistication of the locks used on today’s vehicles these methods would not help you open a car if you had all day to spend trying.

Over the last decade vehicle manufacturers have been constantly improving security by producing complex “high security locks” and immobiliser systems.
This is great in terms of vehicle security but not so great for the motorist that loses all of their keys or locks them in the boot with the shopping.

A good auto locksmith will have years of experience with all vehicle locks and be able to gain entry into even the most secure vehicle within 30 minutes. Working from a mobile unit an auto locksmith will attend your vehicle and be able to reproduce keys on site. The auto locksmiths van will be equipped with all the key blanks and key cutting machinery to cut keys for most common makes of vehicle while you wait.

Once a new key has been cut it will need to be matched to the car to deactivate the immobiliser system. Did you know all vehicles produced after 1996 are fitted with factory immobilisers as EU law? Specialist diagnostic tools and software are required to program transponder keys to the cars immobiliser.
Auto locksmiths use these tools
1000
the same way a main dealer would to program keys and in some cases can do more than the main dealers can with their own vehicles.

Your vehicle main dealer will order a replacement key by a unique code they hold on system for your car. Unfortunately many dealers do not have access to key cutting machinery on site and often send away for keys to be cut at their main site overseas. Peugeot keys for example have to be cut in France and then posted to the UK. This process can take as long as two whole weeks.

When the key finally arrives the dealer will need your car to be at their garage for them to code in the key. If you do not have free recovery from a roadside service this could cost you up to £200 in recovery fees.

An auto locksmith in London can produce new keys on site at your car in as little as 30 minutes at half the price of using a main dealer.

You can find an auto locksmith in your area by searching the internet. Many locksmith shops will know an established and reputable auto locksmith in the area, and will be happy to pass on their details.
