How Our Addlestone Auto Locksmith Service Works
We keep the process simple, transparent and focused on non-destructive methods wherever possible.
- Call or contact us to describe the problem and location in Addlestone or the surrounding KT15 area. We’ll advise on likely options and next steps.
- We dispatch a fully equipped mobile van with an experienced, DBS-checked technician and the right tools for the job.
- Diagnosis and solution on site using professional tools: diagnostic OBD2 interfaces, EEPROM/ECU readers for immobiliser work, dealer-level key programming tools and laser key cutting machines.
- We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible (slim-jim, inflatable wedges, specialist unlock tools). If extraction or a repair requires a minor, unavoidable intervention we’ll explain this clearly and agree it with you before starting.

FAQs
Can you make a new car key without the original in Addlestone?
Yes. In many cases we can create and programme a new key without the original using dealer-level diagnostic tools, OBD2 programming or EEPROM reads. We’ll need proof of ownership and your vehicle details (make, model, year).
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On the rare occasions where components must be removed or ignition work is needed (typically older vehicles), we’ll explain why and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does key programming or replacement usually take?
Times vary by vehicle and key type. Simple remote battery replacements or basic key cutting can be quick, while smart key programming and ECU/immobiliser work takes longer. We’ll give an estimated timescale after diagnosis.
Do you cover commercial vehicles and vans in KT15?
Yes — we handle vans, fleet vehicles and commercial locksmith needs. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith services for details.
Are your technicians insured and vetted?
Yes. All technicians are DBS-checked and we carry public liability insurance. We also provide written guarantees on workmanship and keys.
How do you verify ownership before cutting or programming keys?
We follow strict identity and ownership checks, which typically include vehicle V5 registration details, proof of ID and the VIN. This protects both you and us from unauthorised key duplication.
