Immediate Roadside Assistance for Any Car Lockout Situation

We handle every urgent situation drivers face, including:

  • Locked keys in car or boot
  • Lost your only key at home, work, or while shopping
  • Key snapped in the door lock or ignition
  • Car key won’t turn or is stuck in the barrel

  • Faulty ignition or steering lock preventing start
  • Stolen car keys and urgent recoding required

Our technicians use specialist tools to gain entry without damage wherever possible. In rare cases where destructive methods are the safest or only option (such as a severely damaged lock), we’ll explain the reasons and costs clearly before proceeding.

What We Can Do During an Emergency

  • Non-destructive vehicle unlocking wherever possible
  • Emergency car key replacement and spare keys cut on-site
  • Transponder and smart key programming using dealer-level equipment
  • Key fob diagnostics, key fob repair, and immediate key battery replacement
  • Broken key extraction from door locks and ignitions
  • Ignition repair and replacement guidance when faults prevent start
  • Immobiliser and ECU coding for certain models, including EEPROM where required
  • Recoding after lost or stolen keys to protect your vehicle

A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser; if it isn’t programmed correctly, the engine won’t start. We carry the tools to program these chips and smart keys at the roadside.

If you only need the doors opened, see our dedicated car unlock service in Slough. If you’ve lost your keys entirely, our car key replacement in Slough page explains how we create new keys without the original.

FAQs: Emergency Car Locksmith Slough

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use professional, non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. That means picking or decoding the lock rather than forcing it. In rare cases where the lock is severely damaged or aftermarket security devices block access, we’ll explain your options and obtain approval before any work that might risk minor cosmetic impact.

Can you help if I’ve lost my only key?

Yes. We can create a new key without the original, cut it to your vehicle, and program the transponder or smart key so your car starts. We can also erase the lost key from the immobiliser for security. Learn more about lost or stolen car keys.

My key snapped in the ignition. What should I do?

Stop trying to turn or remove it yourself to avoid further damage. We provide broken key extraction from locks and ignitions, using specialist tools to remove fragments safely. See our guidance on broken car key issues.

Do you operate evenings, weekends, and bank holidays?

Yes. We provide emergency assistance across Slough and the SL postcode area throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. If you’re in urgent need, please call 01753 303 101.

Can you program a new smart key at the roadside?

In most cases, yes. We carry dealer-level programming tools (including OBD2 and EEPROM solutions for certain models) to complete smart key and transponder programming on-site. Some late-model vehicles may require additional steps, and we’ll advise you on the call.

How long will it take to get me back on the road?

Most lockouts are resolved quickly once we arrive. Replacement keys and programming can vary depending on the make, model, and immobiliser system. We prioritise efficient dispatch and on-site completion where possible, and we’ll set clear expectations when you call.

Is it cheaper and faster than going to a dealer?

In urgent situations, yes, typically. A mobile auto locksmith avoids towing and long lead times, and we complete cutting and programming on-site. For detail on cost factors, visit our page on auto locksmith prices in Slough.
