How We Solve Most Car Key Related Issues

Car key and remote

From replacing broken remotes to removing snapped keys from car locks, a good auto locksmith will be able to solve most car key related issues. We’re familiar with all the common problems affecting keys and remotes, and so are able to get you back on the road faster than anyone. To help you get an idea of the skills we can offer, and to ensure that you know exactly when to contact us, here are a few things that we can help you with.

  • Lost or Stolen Keys: If your keys have been lost or stolen and you can’t access your vehicle, we’ll be able to cut a new set for your car. You may need to provide documents confirming you’re the legal owner of the vehicle, but once you do, we will be able to provide you with a new set of keys before you know it.
  • Broken Keys: Keys for vehicles made prior to 2004 can easily be broken. When keys become fragile, it’s not uncommon for them to snap off inside locks or in ignitions. If this happens to you, we can retrieve the broken part from the lock and supply you with a brand-new key. If you’re stranded by the roadside, our mobile workshop may be able to come out and get you up and running.
  • Broken Remotes: More modern cars often use remotes for locking and unlocking doors. If the battery housing breaks away from the circuit board, or the remote is crushed or damaged, it can cause it to stop working. A broken remote can be a serious inconvenience. To minimise disruption to your day, we can either perform a quick fix to get your remote running or supply you with a brand new one that will keep going year and year.
  • Unlocking Vehicles: Though modern cars have some systems in place to help prevent you accidentally having locked keys in car, it’s still all too easily to shut your keys inside your car. If you’re out and about when this happens, it can be incredibly inconvenient.

If you have young people or animals in the car at the time, it can be potentially dangerous. If you call us out, we’ll be able to unlock your vehicle quickly and easily, giving you access to the car and allowing you to get on your way as quickly as possible.
