Vauxhall Key Replacement and Programming Made Simple
We handle everything roadside or at your home/workplace across West London. Our goal is to provide a quick, reliable, and cost-effective alternative to the main dealer—without the tow, the wait, or the hassle.
Our Mobile Process
-
Assessment and security check
- We confirm vehicle ownership and diagnose the issue. If keys are lost or stolen, we can erase old keys from the immobiliser for your security.
-
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
- Locked out? We use specialist picks and air wedges to open doors without damage. In rare cases where drilling is unavoidable (severe lock damage), we’ll explain options and costs first.
-
Key cutting and cloning
- We cut laser or standard blades on-site, including high-security Vauxhall profiles. If your key blade is bent or worn, we can provide precise recuts for smooth operation.
-
Vauxhall key programming
- Using dealer-level tools via the OBD2 port, we program transponder chips and remotes to your car’s ECU/immobiliser. For some models and all-keys-lost situations, we perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming for a clean, secure solution.
-
Testing and handover
- We test central locking, remote functions, and starting. You drive away with a working key and the peace of mind of our workmanship guarantee.

FAQs: Vauxhall Auto Locksmith West London
Can you make a Vauxhall key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your Vauxhall using diagnostic data and, where necessary, EEPROM/immobiliser programming. Ownership checks are required. This is a common “all keys lost” service we provide across West London.
Will you damage my Vauxhall when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as professional lock picks and air wedges. In rare cases (e.g., severely damaged locks), we’ll explain options and obtain approval before any work.
How long does Vauxhall key programming take?
Many Vauxhall keys can be cut and programmed the same day in a single visit. Timing varies by model, key type (transponder vs smart), and whether all keys are lost. We’ll advise an accurate timeframe when you call.
Can you fix a Vauxhall key fob that’s not working?
Often, yes. We offer battery replacement, button/board repairs, and re-housing. If the fob is beyond repair, we can supply and program a replacement remote.
Is a locksmith quicker than the Vauxhall dealer?
Usually. As a mobile service, we come to you and avoid towing and long dealer lead times. For many drivers, our solution is both faster and more affordable than booking with a main dealer. Learn more on our pricing and cost factors page.
