Based right here in Durham. Independent mobile auto locksmith. No call centre. When you call, you speak directly to me.
Now SERMI Registered — Manufacturer-Level Access, Independent Prices.I cover the whole of Durham city and the surrounding villages including Nevilles Cross, Gilesgate, Framwellgate Moor, Belmont, Shincliffe, Meadowfield, Langley Moor, Brandon, Bowburn and Carrville. Whether you are parked up on the Sands, stuck near the city centre, at Durham University or on the outskirts, I can reach you quickly. Being based right here in Durham means I am nearly always closer than any other auto locksmith and that matters when you are stuck.
Car key replacement in Durham is one of the most common jobs I get called out for. If you have lost your only key, need a spare cut before the worst happens, or your key fob has stopped responding, I supply, cut and programme replacement keys at your vehicle. No recovery, no dealership waiting list, no being without your car for days. I carry equipment for most makes and models and in most cases have you back on the road the same day.
If you have lost every single key to your vehicle there is no need to panic. All keys lost is something I deal with regularly. I can generate and code a completely new key from scratch without needing the original. Most people assume this means an expensive trip to a main dealer. It does not. I carry out the full process at your location at a fraction of the dealership cost.
Locked out of your car anywhere in Durham? I use non-destructive entry methods to get you back inside safely without causing damage to your vehicle. If your keys are locked on the seat, stuck in the ignition or your keyless system has failed, I will get you sorted. When you call, tell me your location and vehicle make, model and reg and I will give you an honest arrival estimate. If I have nothing else on I can typically be with you within 30 minutes.
Spare keys are something I strongly recommend to every customer. Having a second key is good insurance against losing your only one. A spare key cut and programmed while I am already at your vehicle is far more cost effective than calling me out in an emergency later. If your key is looking worn, cracked or unreliable it is worth getting it sorted before it lets you down.
Ignition problems in Durham? If your key is stiff to turn, will not come out after switching off the engine, or your car is simply not starting, the ignition barrel is often the cause. I diagnose and repair or replace ignition barrels on site across Durham. As with all jobs, the first thing I need is your make, model and reg so I can confirm I have the right parts before coming out.
With 17 years in the motor trade behind me I understand vehicles properly, not just keys. That experience makes a real difference when diagnosing a fault accurately and getting it right first time. I am DBS checked, SERMI registered and fully insured and work from a sign-written van in full uniform. You will find me on social media and YouTube before I arrive so you know exactly who is coming out to your car.

Lost all your keys or locked them inside the car. Auto Access provides fast emergency key replacement and vehicle access so you can get moving again without damage.
