Electric Cars & Smart Key Systems

London's roads are changing fast. Electric and hybrid vehicles now make up a significant share of traffic, and their key systems are more advanced than traditional cars. Whether you drive a Tesla, BMW i-series, Kia EV, or Hyundai Ioniq, our auto locksmiths carry the latest diagnostic equipment to handle modern smart key and proximity fob systems.

Common smart key issues we resolve include:

  • Dead key fob battery - We replace the battery and reprogramme the fob if needed. Most vehicles have a hidden key blade inside the fob for emergency access.
  • Key fob not detected - Signal interference, relay attack damage, or a desynchronised fob. We diagnose and fix the connection between key and vehicle.
  • Replacement proximity keys - New smart keys programmed to your vehicle's ECU on-site, without needing a dealer visit.
  • Relay theft prevention - We advise on Faraday pouches, OBD port locks, and steering wheel locks to protect keyless vehicles from relay attacks, a growing concern in London.

All work is carried out on-site at your location. For specialist key systems, call us with your vehicle details and we will confirm availability and pricing before attending. See our price list for standard auto locksmith rates.

Auto Locksmith FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our locksmith services.

How much does car key programming cost?
Car key programming starts from £85. The final price depends on the make and model of your vehicle, the type of key (transponder, remote fob, smart key), and whether we need to cut a new key blade. We provide a quote over the phone before attending.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes, in most cases we can create a new key even if all keys have been lost. We use advanced diagnostic equipment to read the immobiliser data, cut a new key blade, and programme the transponder chip to your vehicle's ECU.
How long does it take to unlock a car?
Most car lockouts are resolved within 5-15 minutes of our locksmith arriving. We use specialist non-destructive tools to gain entry without damaging your vehicle's door, window, or locking mechanism.
Do you work on all car makes and models?
Yes, we work on all major car brands including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, Land Rover, Jaguar, and many more. Our equipment covers vehicles from 1995 to the present day.
Can you fix my car ignition?
