When You Need A Honda Auto Locksmith
Common Honda key and lock problems we solve across Kingston upon Thames and nearby KT postcodes
- Lost or stolen Honda keys — replacement and immobiliser reprogramming
- Faulty or unresponsive key fob or proximity key
- Broken key extraction from a door or ignition
- Keys locked in the car or boot
- Spare Honda keys and high‑security laser‑cut keys
- Ignition switch faults and steering‑lock issues

If you spot a flashing key symbol on the dash, the car not recognising the key, or the key blade snapped off, these are all signs you may need specialist car key programming or a car key replacement for your Honda.
How We Fix Honda Key Problems
Our typical approach when you call about a Honda
- Rapid, friendly assessment over the phone to establish make, model, year and the exact problem.
- Mobile dispatch of a fully equipped technician to your location in Kingston upon Thames or a nearby KT postcode area.
- On‑site diagnosis with dealer‑level tools, non‑destructive entry techniques where possible, and a clear quote before any work proceeds.
We use dealer‑level diagnostics and programming tools including OBD2 key programming, EEPROM access where required, and specialist Honda software where necessary. In plain terms: OBD2 is the diagnostic port we connect to for programming keys; EEPROM is the small memory chip we can read or write to restore immobiliser data if a module needs reprogramming.
