Locked Out Or Lost Your Keys in Maidenhead?
Car key problems are stressful. We make it simple and reassuring:
- Locked out of your car: Our non-destructive entry methods open most vehicles without damage. On rare occasions where drilling is necessary (for example with severely damaged locks), we’ll discuss options with you first.
- Lost or stolen car keys: We can cut and program new keys at the roadside and, if needed, erase old keys from your vehicle’s immobiliser to protect against theft.
- Broken or damaged key: We can extract a snapped key, repair or replace the key blade, and cut a new key on site.
- Faulty key fob or “key not detected”: Diagnostics to pinpoint the cause—battery, transponder chip, immobiliser sync, or vehicle-side fault—and a clear fix plan.

FAQs For Maidenhead Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original in Maidenhead?
Yes. We can cut and program a new key without the original by reading the vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. This may involve OBD2 diagnostics and, for some models, EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming. We’ll advise the best route for your make and model.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use professional, non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases—such as severely damaged locks—we’ll explain the situation and get your approval before any work that could mark a component. We always aim to avoid drilling.
How long does it take to get a new car key in SL6?
Many replacements are completed in a single visit, often the same day, because our mobile units carry key blanks, remotes, and dealer-level programming tools. Timing depends on the vehicle, key type (standard, remote, smart), and the complexity of immobiliser pairing.
Can you programme smart keys and proximity fobs?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming and keyless entry programming for a wide range of brands including Ford, VW, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Vauxhall, Toyota, and more. See car key programming for details.
Is a locksmith faster than a main dealer?
Often, yes. We come to you, avoiding towing and long parts waits. Our equipment is comparable to dealer tools and we can provide immediate solutions. For pricing guidance and factors, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Slough.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support across Slough and SL postcodes, including Maidenhead, with efficient dispatch. If you’re locked out or your keys have failed unexpectedly, see our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Slough.
