Auto Locksmith Services in Fitzrovia, W1
We handle all common vehicle lock and key issues on the roadside, at home, or at your workplace.
Car Key Replacement in W1
Lost your only key or need a spare before a long trip? We provide on-site cutting and coding for most makes and models, including Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, and more. For full details, see our dedicated page for car key replacement West London.
Car Key Programming and Immobiliser Work
Modern vehicles use chips inside the key—called transponders—that “talk” to your car’s immobiliser. If the chip isn’t recognised, the car won’t start. We offer transponder and smart key programming, ECU/immobiliser coding, and advanced EEPROM solutions for complex cases. Learn more about our car key programming.
Emergency Vehicle Unlocking
Keys locked in the car or the boot? We use non-destructive methods like Lishi picks and safe air-wedge techniques to open your vehicle without damage wherever possible. If there’s a rare exception—such as a faulty lock that requires drilling—we’ll explain the options and costs upfront. See our car unlock service West London.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
Having a spare saves time, money, and stress. We cut and clone most keys, including laser-cut/high-security blades, and program remotes so everything works as the manufacturer intended.

FAQs for Drivers in Fitzrovia
Can you unlock my car without damage?
Yes—our standard approach uses non-destructive techniques. If a lock is already faulty or damaged and drilling is the only safe route, we’ll discuss it with you first and get approval before any work proceeds.
I’ve lost my only key. Can you make a new one on the spot?
In most cases, yes. We can create and program a new transponder or smart key at your vehicle. This is typically faster and more convenient than arranging a tow to a main dealer. Start with a quick call for a locksmith quote in West London.
Can you program a key fob for my car without the original?
Often yes. We use dealer-level diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM/ECU programming to add new keys and remove lost/stolen ones. Some models may require proof of ownership and ID.
My car won’t start and shows a key symbol on the dashboard. Can you help?
That usually points to an immobiliser or transponder communication issue. We’ll run OBD2 diagnostics to confirm and then repair or reprogram as needed.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in W1?
We provide emergency support across Fitzrovia and the W postcode area, including evenings and weekends. For urgent help now, call us directly.
Do you offer a guarantee on new keys?
Yes. All new keys and our workmanship come with a clear warranty. We’ll explain the terms at the time of service.
