Why We Don’t List Fixed Prices
No two vehicles or key systems are exactly alike. Modern immobilisers and smart keys vary widely between makes, models, and years, so a simple “one price fits all” list would be misleading. Instead, we give personalised quotes that reflect your exact situation—over the phone or on-site—before we begin.
Key reasons prices vary:
- Vehicle make, model, and year: A 2010 Ford Fiesta key is simpler than a 2024 BMW proximity key.
- Key type and technology: Basic blade keys, remote fobs, transponder keys, and smart/proximity keys each require different tools, chips, and processes.
- Service required: Unlocking a car, replacing lost car keys without the original, repairing an ignition, or programming new fobs all involve different steps and time.
- Availability and timing: Standard daytime appointments may be priced differently to evening, weekend, bank holiday, or urgent call-outs.
- Security considerations: Some vehicles require EEPROM work or ECU/immobiliser programming, which adds specialist time and equipment.
- Location and access: On-street, car park, multi-storey, or underground locations sometimes influence the setup time and approach.
If you’d like a precise figure, we can usually quote within minutes when you call with your vehicle details.
What You’re Paying For

How We Compare To Main Dealers
For many situations, a mobile auto locksmith offers better value and speed than a main dealer:

- Vehicle Unlocking: Non-destructive entry for locked keys in the car or boot.
- Car Key Replacement: Creating a new key when yours is lost or stolen, including transponder and smart key programming.
- Spare Car Keys: Cutting and programming an additional key or remote fob to prevent future lockouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does car key programming cost in Enfield?
It depends on your make, model, year, and key type. Smart keys and some prestige brands can require more advanced programming (OBD2 or EEPROM), which affects the price. Call us with your vehicle details for an accurate quote in minutes.
Can you give me a price without seeing the car?
Usually yes. If you can share your vehicle’s make, model, year, and the problem (lost keys, locked out, spare key needed, key not detected), we can provide a firm quote before we come out.
Is a locksmith cheaper than a main dealer?
Often, yes—especially once you include towing, longer wait times, and higher labour rates at dealers. We’re a mobile service, so we come to you and complete most jobs in one visit.
Do you charge extra for evenings or weekends?
Emergency and out-of-hours appointments may be priced differently, but we’ll always explain this upfront before dispatch.
Will you damage my car to unlock it?
We use non-destructive entry wherever possible. On rare occasions where drilling or component replacement is the best option, we’ll explain why and get your approval before proceeding.
Can you make a key without the original?
Yes. In many cases we can create and program a new key from scratch using dealer-level equipment. This is common for lost or stolen car keys. We will verify vehicle ownership for your security.
