How Our Cambridge Heath Auto Locksmith Service Works
Step 1 – Call Us With Your Location
Phone us on 020 4634 3057 and tell us:
- Your location in Cambridge Heath or nearby (street name, landmark, postcode)
- The vehicle make, model and year
- The problem – lost keys, locked out, broken key, key not recognised, or ignition/lock issue
This allows us to give you clear advice and a free, no-obligation estimate. If it is an emergency lockout or your only key is lost, we prioritise your job.
For general enquiries or to book a convenient appointment, you can also contact our East London team.
Step 2 – We Come to You in Cambridge Heath, E2
We are a mobile auto locksmith service, so you do not need to tow your car to a garage or dealership. Our fully equipped vans carry:
- High-precision key cutting machines
- Dealer-level diagnostic tools and OBD2 interfaces
- Specialist lock-picking and non-destructive entry tools
- Stock of common key blanks, remotes and transponder chips
We cover Cambridge Heath and the wider E postcode area, including nearby Shoreditch, Hackney Central and Victoria Park.
Step 3 – Professional, Non-Destructive Work
Depending on your situation, we will:
- Use non-destructive entry techniques to open your vehicle whenever possible
- Cut a new key blade and perform transponder key programming using OBD2 equipment
- Perform smart key programming or proximity key replacement for push-button start vehicles
- Repair or replace faulty locks or ignition components, explaining options clearly before starting
In very rare cases where non-destructive methods are not possible (for example, severely damaged locks), we will explain the situation, outline any minor damage risk and get your clear consent before proceeding.
Step 4 – Testing and Handover
We always:
- Test the new key for locking/unlocking and starting the vehicle
- Check central locking operation and immobiliser communication
- Make sure you are fully satisfied and understand any warranties or aftercare
If requested, we can also supply an additional spare car key on the same visit, which is usually more cost-effective than calling out again later.
