Clear Quotes, No Surprises
Every job is different. Prices depend on your vehicle’s make, model, year, key type (basic, remote, smart), and whether it’s an emergency callout. For guidance on what affects cost and why a mobile service can be better value than a dealer, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Luton. We’re happy to provide a free, accurate quote before we start.
FAQs for Leagrave Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key from your vehicle using dealer-level diagnostics. We then programme the transponder and remote functions so the immobiliser recognises it. We can also erase lost/stolen keys from memory for security.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as specialist lock picks and air wedges. In rare cases where a component has failed or is double-deadlocked and non-destructive entry is not feasible, we’ll explain the options and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements can be completed the same visit, often within the hour once on site. Times vary by make, model, and whether EEPROM or ECU programming is needed. We’ll advise realistic timings when you contact us.
Can you programme smart/proximity keys for push-to-start cars?
Yes. We provide smart key programming for many brands, pairing the key to your immobiliser and testing start/stop, remote locking, and boot release. Some vehicles may require advanced procedures like EEPROM; we’ll confirm before work.
Do you cover vans and company vehicles in LU4?
Absolutely. We support Transit, Vivaro, Transporter and other popular vans, including spares, replacements, and programming for fleets. See our van and commercial locksmith page.
What should I do if my key fob stops working suddenly?
First, try a fresh battery. If it still fails or shows “key not detected,” it may need re-synchronising, programming, or repair. We can test the fob, check frequencies, and reprogramme as needed. See key fob not working for more.
