Local Knowledge You Can Rely On

Because we regularly work throughout Stanley and nearby areas such Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-spring and Consett, we know the areas extremely well. Due to the nature of the job many of our callouts come from people who need our help immediately. Being based locally means we can attend emergencies quickly and resolve the issue in no time.

A Truley Mobile Service

One of the biggest advantages of using a specialist mobile auto locksmith is the ability to have everything done on site. Our service is completely mobile, meaning we will come to your location anywhere in Stanley. Our vans are equipped with the most advanced diagnostic systems, specialist key cutting machines and dealer-level programming tools and software. This allows us to carry out all of our services at the roadside, at your workplace or outside your home.

We can safely unlock vehicles, cut and program replacement keys, repair or replace ignitions and resolve immobiliser faults without the vehicle ever needing to move from its location. Because we are a mobile service it means our overheads are much lower than main dealerships.

A Simple Way of Working

We believe good service always starts with clear communication. When we attend a job in Stanley, we take the time to properly diagnose the issue and explain exactly what is going on with your vehicle. We then talk you through all the available options and provide you with a clear price before any work begins. There are no hidden fees and no pressure to go ahead, if for any reason you decide not to.

Many of our customers contact us because their dealership has said that keys must be ordered in, sometimes from overseas. With this comes long wait times and high costs. We can solve issues the same day! We keep a huge amount of different remotes, key blades and vehicle locks in stock at all times.

Safe, Effective Vehicle Entry

Opening vehicles after the keys have been locked inside is one of the most common jobs we get. Modern cars are often set to lock automatically after a certain period of time, even if the key is still inside. We use professional, non-destructive entry tools and techniques to gain access to vehicles without causing damage to locks, door frames, rubber seals or glass.

If your told by an auto locksmith that damage will be caused in order to unlock your vehicle, we advise you politely decline and give us a call. No matter what the situation is we will never need to cause any damage to unlock your vehicle and retrieve the keys.

Lost Car Keys

Lost car keys is another very common issue we see. It’s surprising how many people only have one key, and when its lost they are totally stranded. We specialise in creating replacement car keys even when the customer has no original key for us to duplicate. This includes cutting a new key blade, programming the circuit board and syncing any remote or smart features that your old lost key used to support.

For added piece of mind we always remove old keys from the on board computer, preventing the old lost or stolen key from ever being used again. The entire process can be completed during a single visit, allowing you to regain full use of your vehicle without any long waiting times.

Additional Car Keys

Having a spare car key is extremely important. Vehicles should come with two keys in case one is ever lost. However, a lot second hand vehicles only come supplied with one. We can supply and program additional spare keys for a wide range of vehicles, including standard remote keys and modern proximity keys. Our mobile service means this can be done at your home in Stanley at a time that suits you, without the need to visit a garage or dealership.

All spare keys are tested thoroughly to ensure they function exactly like an original including remote locking, unlocking and engine start features where applicable.

Ignition Problems and Solutions

Ignition faults can develop slowly over time or just appear suddenly. If your key will not turn, feels stiff, or becomes difficult to remove, the issue is often ignition barrel rather than the key. We are experts in repairing and replacing ignition barrels on all types of vehicles.

When replacing the whole ignition barrel, we use genuine quality components to ensure it works seamlessly with your existing keys and vehicle security system
