If you need a Dacia auto locksmith in Slough, we provide fast, professional help for Dacia key replacement, Dacia key programming, and non-destructive vehicle entry across the SL postcode area. Whether your Dacia key is lost, broken, or not recognised by the car, our mobile technicians come to you with dealer-level diagnostics to get you moving again.
When You Need a Dacia Locksmith
Dacia vehicles use immobiliser systems with transponder or smart keys (depending on model and year). Common situations we solve include:
- Lost Dacia car keys with no spare
- Locked keys in the car or boot
- Dacia key fob not responding or intermittently working
- Car won’t start and a key symbol shows on the dash
- Key blade snapped in the door or ignition
- Replacement or spare key for peace of mind
- Dacia central locking or remote issues after a battery change
If you’re unsure whether it’s the key, the immobiliser, or a lock fault, we can diagnose on-site. We cover Slough and all nearby areas such as Langley, Cippenham, Burnham, Windsor, and Stoke Poges with an efficient, fully mobile service.
Dacia Models We Work With
We cover most Dacia models commonly seen on UK roads, including:
- Dacia Duster
- Dacia Sandero and Sandero Stepway
- Dacia Logan and Logan MCV
- Dacia Jogger
- Dacia Spring (where applicable to UK market and security systems)
From standard transponder keys to newer remote and smart/proximity keys, we handle all Dacia key types and immobiliser generations.
Dacia Key Services We Offer
Dacia Car Key Replacement in Slough
Lost all keys or need a spare? We cut and program new Dacia keys at your location. This is often quicker and more convenient than a main dealer, with no need to tow your vehicle. Learn more about our car key replacement in Slough.
Dacia Car Key Programming
Your Dacia key has a small transponder chip that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. If the car doesn’t recognise the chip, it won’t start. We provide Dacia transponder and smart key programming using dealer-level tools, OBD2 diagnostics, and EEPROM programming when required. Read about our full car key programming capability.
Non-Destructive Vehicle Unlocking
Locked out of your Dacia? Our technicians use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible to regain access without damage. On the rare occasion drilling or component replacement is the only safe option, we’ll explain the risks and costs clearly before work. See our dedicated vehicle unlocking service in Slough.
Broken or Damaged Dacia Keys
From snapped blades to faulty flip mechanisms and worn buttons, we repair where feasible and replace when necessary. If your key has broken in the lock or ignition, we can perform broken key extraction and provide a working replacement.
Dacia Lock and Ignition Issues
If your Dacia key won’t turn, the ignition is stiff, or the central locking is unreliable, we can assess the locks, ignition barrel, and electronic modules. Visit our page on car lock and ignition issues for common symptoms and solutions.

FAQs: Dacia Keys and Security
Can you make a Dacia key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Dacia key even if you’ve lost all keys. Using your vehicle’s VIN/lock data and dealer-level diagnostics, we cut and program a replacement on-site. This avoids towing to a dealer and is usually faster. For more on the process, see our car key replacement in Slough.
My Dacia key fob is not working after a battery change. What should I do?
Sometimes the fob needs re-synchronising or there’s an underlying immobiliser issue. We can test the fob, confirm the correct battery type, and reprogram if needed. If the fob electronics are faulty, we’ll advise repair or replacement through our car key programming service.
I’ve locked my Dacia keys in the boot. Can you unlock the car without damage?
In most cases, yes. We use non-destructive entry methods to open Dacia vehicles and retrieve your keys safely. We’ll explain any risks before work if an exception arises. Learn more about our vehicle unlocking service.
How long does it take to get a new Dacia key?
Many Dacia replacements are completed in one mobile visit, subject to model and key type. Programming and testing typically take from 30 to 90 minutes once on site, depending on the immobiliser system and whether EEPROM work is required.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Slough?
Yes. We provide emergency support across Slough and SL postcodes, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. If you’re stuck now, visit our emergency auto locksmith in Slough or call us.
Is it cheaper than going to a Dacia dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing, wait times, and dealer scheduling. As a mobile service, we come to you and complete the job on-site. For cost factors, see auto locksmith prices in Slough and then request a tailored quote.
