How Our Mobile Service Works
We keep the process straightforward and transparent:
-
Diagnosis
Tell us what’s happened. We’ll confirm your location in Northgate or RH10 and ask for your vehicle make, model, and year. If you’ve lost all keys, we’ll also confirm proof of ownership is available. -
Dispatch
We send a fully equipped mobile unit. Our vans carry dealer-level tools, cutting machines, and programming equipment so most jobs are completed roadside or on your driveway. -
Repair or Replacement
We use non-destructive methods to unlock vehicles wherever possible. If you need a new key, we cut and code it on-site. For programming, we use OBD2 and, where required, EEPROM/ECU immobiliser procedures to pair your key correctly with your vehicle’s security systems. -
Testing and Handover
We test all functions—lock/unlock, boot release, ignition/start, and remote features—before handing the keys back. You receive clear advice on care and any warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you unlock my car in Northgate without damage?
Yes—our vehicle unlocking is non-destructive wherever possible. We use specialist tools and techniques to protect locks, glass, and bodywork. If there’s a rare case where minimal damage might be required (e.g., a severely damaged lock), we’ll discuss it with you first and get your approval.
I’ve lost my only car key—can you make a new one on-site?
Yes. We can create and program a new key even if you have no working key. We’ll need your vehicle details and proof of ownership. See our guidance on lost or stolen car keys.
My remote key fob has stopped working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a battery issue or a fob that’s fallen out of sync. We can test, repair, or provide replacement and complete the necessary car key programming.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most standard keys and many remotes can be cut and programmed during a single visit. More advanced smart keys or certain models may take longer due to security protocols, but we’ll explain timings clearly when you call.
Is a locksmith faster and more affordable than a main dealer?
In many scenarios, yes. We come to you, often the same day, and provide dealer-level programming without the towing or waiting times. For an accurate estimate, visit our page on auto locksmith prices in Redhill and then contact us for a tailored quote.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency assistance across RH postcodes with availability during evenings, weekends, and holidays. For urgent cases, see our emergency auto locksmith in Redhill page.
