Car Key & Vehicle Locksmith Services in Reading & Berkshire
Twelve services covering key cutting, programming, lockouts and diagnostic fault-finding, all carried out by [Owner] personally at your home, workplace or roadside, with the price agreed before anyone sets off.
The actual fault is found before any parts are swapped.

What has happened to your vehicle?
A call-out is rarely just “cut a key”. The first job is working out whether the fault is the key, the lock, the ignition or the immobiliser.
All keys are lost
In most cases a replacement can be cut and programmed at the vehicle, without an original key.
Keys locked inside
We use non-destructive entry methods, so there is no drilling and no damage to doors or paint.
Key will not turn
The fault could be the blade, the ignition barrel or the steering lock. A proper diagnosis saves needless repairs.
Car won't recognise the key
Transponder, key and immobiliser faults can look alike. Diagnostic tools show the real cause.
Services — FAQs
How do I know which service I need?
You don’t need to. Describe what’s happening when you call or get in touch, and [Owner] will tell you which service fits and what it will cost.
Can one visit cover more than one problem?
Yes. A lost-key job often includes entry, cutting and programming, and all of it is done in the same visit where possible.
Do all twelve services cost the same?
No. Prices depend on the service, the vehicle and the key type. You get a fixed price before anyone sets off.
Are these services available for vans as well as cars?
Yes. The same equipment and approach cover most commercial vans as well as cars.
