When You Need An Auto Locksmith In Cobham

Common situations we attend to across Cobham and nearby KT postcodes include:

Lost or stolen car keys and needing an urgent replacement
Locked keys in car, boot or glovebox with doors secured
Broken, snapped or worn keys and extraction from locks or ignitions
Key fobs that have stopped working, need a new battery or need reprogramming
Laser-cut and high-security keys for modern cars that require specialist cutting and programming
Immobiliser, ECU or OBD2-related issues that prevent the car from recognising a key

We see these problems every day in Cobham (KT11), Oxshott and surrounding neighbourhoods. If your vehicle won’t unlock or start, or you need a spare key made without the original, get in touch and we’ll explain the quickest, safest options.

Our On-The-Road Solution For Cobham Drivers

We follow a clear, safe process designed to get you back on the road quickly while protecting your vehicle.

Call or message with your location and vehicle details
We dispatch a fully equipped mobile unit from our Kingston upon Thames base covering KT postcodes
On site we diagnose the issue using dealer-level diagnostics and decide the least invasive solution
We carry out non-destructive entry wherever possible, then cut, programme or replace keys and test everything before we leave

We carry dealer-level equipment such as OBD2 programmers, EEPROM adapters and factory-grade key-cutting machines. For modern vehicles we use authenticated diagnostic tools to programme transponder, proximity and smart keys. If a situation genuinely requires a destructive option (rare, for example when a lock barrel is seized or heavily corroded), we explain it first and get your approval before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can A Locksmith Make A Car Key Without The Original In Cobham?

Yes. In many cases we can create a new key without the original by using VIN-based coding, OBD2 or EEPROM programming and by cutting a blank to match the lock. Tell us your vehicle make, model and year so we can advise.

Will You Damage My Car To Get In?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and only use force as a last resort. If a lock barrel or mechanism is damaged beyond repair, we’ll explain the options and get your approval first.

How Long Will It Take To Get A New Key Made?

Times vary by vehicle and key type. Simple blade keys can often be cut and supplied on site in under an hour; smart keys or ECU-related jobs may take longer because programming is involved. We’ll give a realistic estimate once we’ve identified your vehicle and the fault.

Do You Cover Commercial Vehicles And Vans In Cobham?

Yes. We provide van and commercial locksmith services including key replacement and programming for Transit and other commercial models across KT postcodes.

Is A Dealer Always Necessary For Key Programming?

Not always. We carry dealer-level diagnostics and can usually programme keys on site using OBD2 or EEPROM methods. For some manufacturer-specific tasks the dealer is the only option; we’ll advise you honestly and offer the most cost-effective route.
