Locked Out Or Lost Your Keys in Chalvey?
It’s easy to misplace keys during the school run, at local shops on Chalvey Road East, or while exercising at Salt Hill Activity Centre. Common call-outs in Chalvey include:
- Locked keys in the car or boot
- Lost car keys on a walk or at the petrol station
- Key snapped in the door or ignition
- Key fob not responding or car not detecting key
- Central locking not working on one door
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, so there’s no damage to your locks or bodywork. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is the safest option, we’ll explain the reasons and costs clearly before work begins.

FAQs for Chalvey Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN, door/ignition lock data, and secure programming methods, we can cut and program a new key without the original. This is often quicker and more convenient than going to a main dealer.
Will unlocking my car damage it?
We use non-destructive entry methods in the vast majority of cases. If a lock is severely damaged or a high-security system requires alternative measures, we’ll explain options and get your approval before proceeding.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Chalvey?
Yes. We provide emergency support across SL1, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. For urgent help, please call.
How long does a replacement car key take?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, often within an hour on-site, depending on the vehicle and key type. Some smart keys or specialist models may take longer due to security protocols or parts availability.
Can you program smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems?
Absolutely. We carry dealer-level tools for smart key programming, immobiliser pairing, OBD2 diagnostics, and EEPROM work where needed.
Is it cheaper than the dealer?
In many scenarios, yes—especially when factoring in towing and wait times. We’re mobile and can often provide a same-day solution. For clarity on cost factors, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Slough.
