How a car key job works, from first call to working key

Every car key job follows the same four steps, so you always know what happens next.

Proof of ownership is part of every key job: read the proof of ownership for car keys page for the documents to have ready, and the how car locksmith prices work page for how quotes are worked out before any work begins.

• Ring or message 07367 634032, giving the make, model and year plus a short account of the trouble.
• The figure quoted on the call is the figure paid: nothing extra appears at the car, and work starts only on a figure you have accepted.
• We come to your car and make, programme or repair the key or lock there. A new key is cut and programmed at the vehicle, using its lock and immobiliser data.
• We test the key with you before we leave, so you drive away with a working key in your hand.

What car locksmith work do we not do

We are a car locksmith. House locks, door fitting, alarms and CCTV sit outside this work, and we say so plainly rather than accept a job we do not do. If you need a house locksmith, a local house locksmith is the right call, and we will tell you that on the phone.

Keeping the scope narrow is deliberate. A modern car key holds a chip, and the car will only start when it recognises the code that chip carries, so every new key has to be taught to the vehicle first. That pairing work is what this service exists to do.

The car locksmith area we serve across Solihull

Car Locksmith Solihull works across the borough from end to end: Marston Green, Castle Bromwich, Elmdon and Chelmsley Wood in the north and east; Meriden, Balsall Common and Hampton-in-Arden further out; Hockley Heath, Dorridge and Knowle to the south; Olton and Shirley closer to town, with Solihull town centre itself in the middle. The NEC and Birmingham Airport car parks are covered too, since lockouts and lost keys at the airport and the exhibition centre are a regular part of the work.

A street just outside the places named above is no bar to ringing: the call brings a plain answer on whether the locksmith can get to the car.

How to reach your car locksmith in Solihull

Phone or WhatsApp 07367 634032, 24 hours a day, every day of the week. There is no street address, because the service is fully mobile: the work happens at your car, at home, at work, in a car park, or at the roadside.

Before you call, it helps to know the make, model and year of the car, where the car is, and what has happened to the key or lock. For a replacement key, have the V5C logbook and photo ID ready.
