Comprehensive Auto Locksmith & Car Key Services in Durham

Whether you’ve lost your only car key, need a reliable spare for peace of mind, or your existing key has simply stopped working, Auto Access provides a professional and efficient solution. I use specialist equipment and years of experience to handle a wide range of car key issues for most makes and models, ensuring a high-quality, reliable service every time. My goal is to offer a transparent and stress-free experience, right at your location.

Expert Car Key Programming and Cutting

Modern car keys contain a sophisticated transponder chip that must be correctly programmed to communicate with your vehicle’s immobiliser. I have the specialist diagnostic tools required to sync your key to your vehicle, whether it’s a brand new key or one that has lost its programming. Alongside programming, a perfectly cut key is essential for smooth operation. My mobile workshop is equipped with modern machinery to accurately cut new laser keys or duplicate standard keys, guaranteeing a perfect fit for your locks and ignition.

Reliable Car Key and Ignition Repairs

Often, a faulty key doesn’t need a full replacement, and a repair can be a much more cost-effective solution. I can resolve many common issues, from replacing broken or cracked key casings and fixing worn-out buttons to repairing snapped key blades and fitting new batteries. I will always provide an honest assessment to see if a simple repair can get your key working like new. Similarly, if your key is struggling to turn, feels stiff, or has snapped in the lock, the problem may be the ignition itself. I am experienced in diagnosing and repairing faulty ignition barrels and door locks, saving you the significant cost and hassle of a main dealer visit.

A Complete Solution for Your Vehicle

My comprehensive service covers all potential auto locksmith needs. This includes creating a brand new key from scratch with my lost car key replacement service, providing a spare key for your convenience, and gaining safe, non-destructive entry to your vehicle if you find yourself locked out. My expertise extends across the board from intricate car key programming and precision cutting to all types of car key repairs and resolving issues with faulty ignitions or locks.

No matter your car key needs in Durham, Newcastle, or across the North East, you can expect an honest assessment and transparent pricing.
