Our Auto Locksmith Services in Godalming
Car Key Replacement
Lost your only key? We can create a new car key from scratch, even without the original. Our technicians carry blank keys for most makes and models, cutting and programming them on-site while you wait.
Car Key Programming
Modern vehicles require specialist programming to recognise new keys. We use OBD2 diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM programming to sync transponder chips, smart keys, and proximity fobs with your vehicle’s immobiliser system.
Vehicle Unlocking
Locked out of your car? We employ non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using professional tools to open your vehicle without damage. In rare cases where alternative methods are required, we explain this clearly before proceeding.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
Need a spare key for peace of mind? We cut and duplicate standard keys, remote fobs, and flip keys at competitive prices, often significantly less than main dealer charges.
Van & Commercial Locksmith
Godalming’s tradespeople and businesses rely on us for van lock repairs, replacement keys for Ford Transit and other commercial vehicles, and fleet security solutions.

Common Car Key Problems in Godalming: FAQs
How quickly can you reach Godalming?
We maintain efficient mobile coverage across GU postcodes. While we don’t promise specific arrival times, our local presence means we can often reach Godalming customers faster than national services or main dealers. For urgent situations, we prioritise emergency calls.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s lock or ignition, we can decode the necessary information to cut a new key. We then program the transponder or smart key to match your car’s immobiliser—no original required.
Is it cheaper to use an auto locksmith or a main dealer?
Typically significantly cheaper. Main dealers often require you to tow the vehicle to them, charge premium rates, and may take several days. Our mobile service comes to you, completes most jobs on the spot, and offers transparent pricing without hidden costs.
Do you work on vans and commercial vehicles?
Absolutely. We regularly assist local businesses with van lock repairs, replacement keys for commercial fleets, and security upgrades. Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter—we cover all major commercial makes.
What if my key is stuck in the ignition?
Don’t force it—this often makes extraction harder. Call us for broken ignition key extraction. We have specialised tools to remove snapped or stuck keys without damaging the ignition barrel, and can provide replacement keys if needed.
Will programming a new key affect my other keys?
No. When we program additional keys, your existing working keys remain fully functional. If you’ve lost a key and want to prevent it from working (for security reasons), we can delete old keys from the vehicle’s memory during programming.
