Pricing And Value
There’s no fixed price list because every job is different. Costs depend on:
- Vehicle make, model, and year
- Key type (standard, remote, or smart/proximity)
- Service required (unlocking only, replacement from scratch, programming)
- Timing and location (daytime, evening/weekend, roadside vs driveway)
What we do promise is a clear, accurate quote before work begins and no surprises. We’ll explain your options and, where relevant, how we can be faster and more convenient than a main dealer (especially when you’ve lost your only key and the car can’t be driven).

FAQs for Dartmouth Park Drivers
Do you cover Dartmouth Park and NW5?
Yes. We’re a North London mobile auto locksmith covering Dartmouth Park (NW5) and neighbouring N postcodes such as N6 and N19. We come to you at home, work, or roadside.
Can you unlock my car without damage?
Our first approach is always non-destructive entry using specialist picks and professional techniques. In the rare cases where a destructive method is the only safe option, we’ll explain the risks, costs, and alternatives before proceeding.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create new keys from scratch, then program the transponder/remote to your vehicle and erase any lost/stolen keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start the car.
My key fob isn’t working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a battery or sync issue. We can test, repair, or reprogram the fob and, if required, supply a replacement. If the immobiliser light is on or the car shows “key not detected,” we’ll run diagnostics to pinpoint the fault.
Do you work weekends and evenings?
Yes. We provide flexible mobile coverage across North London, with emergency support available for lockouts and urgent issues. Call and we’ll arrange the quickest practical visit.
Which vehicles do you support?
Most makes and models on UK roads, including Ford, VW, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Vauxhall, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, and more. We handle standard, remote, and smart keys, including push-button start systems.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the vehicle, key type, and service. We’ll give you an accurate, free quote once we know the details. If you’re comparing dealer vs locksmith options, we’ll explain the pros and cons for your situation.
What information should I have ready when I call?
Your location, vehicle make/model/year, a description of the problem, and proof of ownership. If you have the V5C/logbook and photo ID available, it speeds up the process.
