When You Need An Auto Locksmith In Walton-on-the-Hill

Common situations we attend in Walton-on-the-Hill (KT20) include:

• Locked out with keys locked inside the car or boot
• Lost or stolen car keys and need a replacement
• Broken car key or key snapped in the lock or ignition
• Key fob or proximity key stopped working

• Faulty central locking or steering lock problems
• Van or commercial vehicle key issues for tradespeople operating locally

For example, we can usually create a working replacement key from scratch for many modern cars using OBD2 programming or EEPROM reads — avoiding costly dealer visits where possible.

How We Solve Car Key Problems In Walton-on-the-Hill

We follow a clear, safety-first approach for every job:

1. Rapid assessment and explanation

   • We confirm the issue and talk through the options before any work begins.
   • We use dealer-level tools for fault codes and diagnostics so we know whether a simple reprogram or an ECU/immobiliser intervention is required.

2. Non-destructive entry wherever possible

   • Our technicians are trained in a range of non-destructive vehicle opening methods. We always attempt these first and will explain any rare situations where a destructive method is unavoidable.

3. On-site key cutting and programming

   • Modern vehicles often need transponder chips, smart key programming or OBD2/EEPROM work. Our mobile units carry key blanks, laser-cut blades and programming tools to complete most jobs at the roadside.
   • We support transponder key programming, smart key programming, proximity keys and remote key fobs for most makes and models.

4. Quality assurance and handover

   • We test the new key(s) and locking system on-site, give you warranty details for workmanship and keys, and advise on any further steps (e.g., replacing a failing ignition switch).

Throughout, we use established diagnostics — OBD2, EEPROM reads and manufacturer-level software where required — and we never guess. If a dealer repair is genuinely necessary, we’ll explain why and provide a clear next-step.
