Mobile Auto Locksmith Coming to Cars Across Exeter

A mobile auto locksmith coming to cars across Exeter saves the tow to a dealer, because Dean opens the car, cuts the key and codes it where the car is parked. Exeter is the county city of Devon, with about 130,000 residents and the M5, A30, A38 and A377 meeting at its edge. A car can be stuck anywhere from a city centre car park to a slip road at junction 29.

Every job is done with dealer level diagnostic and programming equipment carried in the van, from a simple lockout to lost key replacement for cars, with each new key made from the VIN. The price is set on the phone before Dean leaves Honiton, and there is no call out fee on any Exeter job. Drivers in Exeter book lost key replacement for cars with one call to 07830249408.

Eight Auto Locksmith Services With Exeter Prices

Eight auto locksmith services are done at the car in Exeter, with the price range for each one below and no call out fee on any of them.

Emergency Vehicle Unlocking Exeter

A car locked with the keys inside is opened with non destructive entry tools, so the door, the lock and the paint are left as they were. Car parks at Princesshay, the Guildhall and Sandy Park are the usual Exeter lockout spots. Across Exeter, emergency vehicle unlocking at night can be at the car in 15 to 45 minutes.

£60 to £120, up to £150 at night

Lost Car Keys Exeter

With no key left, a new key is made from the VIN and coded to the car, and the lost key is wiped from the immobiliser so it can no longer start the engine. No tow to a dealer is needed in Exeter for lost key replacement for cars.

£150 to £400 or more

Spare Car Keys Exeter

A spare key is copied from a key that still works, cut and coded at the car, which costs far less than replacing a key after the last one is lost. One visit in Exeter covers second car key cutting while a working key is still in hand.

£80 to £220, most cars £80 to £180

Car Key Programming Exeter

A key or remote you already own is coded to the car on site, remote locking included, for most makes on Exeter roads, in 15 to 45 minutes. The diagnostic port of the car is used in Exeter for remote car key programming.

£30 to £200

Transponder Keys Exeter

A transponder key carries a chip the immobiliser has to recognise, so the blade is cut and the chip is coded together in one visit. In Exeter, the van carries the blanks and the coder for chipped transponder keys.

£100 to £280

Key Fob Repairs Exeter

A fob with a flat battery, a split case or worn buttons is repaired at the car, and a new remote is paired when the board has failed. In Exeter, the van carries the shells, batteries and buttons for key fob case repair.

£40 to £100, pairing £60 to £120

Immobiliser Diagnostics Exeter

When the car will not start and the key light flashes, the immobiliser fault is read with diagnostic equipment and the key is paired back. Dean carries the equipment for car immobiliser fault diagnostics in the van to any Exeter street.

£60 to £120

Broken Key Extraction Exeter

A key snapped in a door lock or the ignition is taken out without damage to the lock, and a new key can be cut on the spot in the same visit. The tools for broken key extraction from a door lock come in the van to any Exeter car park.

£60 to £130, a new key is extra
Call Dean on 07830249408

Nights, weekends and bank holidays add 20 to 50 percent, and every job carries a 30 day guarantee.

Home from abroad. Battery flat and keys auto locked in! Boom. Depression angst, stress. Why does all your logic desert you in a crisis!!! Dean arrives short notice. In the car, battery charged and bish bosh bash, home after a long flight. NOBODY does it better than the quiet confidence of Dean. Put the number on your phone.Price = fair. DO IT NOW!! To top it all, he's from my neck o the woods. Cooking with gas buddy! Big thanks.

Whatever you are thinking. Ive been there. Vulnerable, isolated, not knowing if im clamped. I had a medical episode and was taken to hospital, my keys went Awol. DEAN literally is the best guy to put your mind at ease. He was busy, but called when he was free. And spent loads of time with me to make sure I had the best experience. Hes incredibly smart and knowledgeable about all bits to open the car and replace keys, he also helped me with a tyre and battery defect. He did go 100% extra mile. I will recommend him until im blue in the face! Even if it takes 4 hours. Trust the process. You will be blown away. Thank you so much Dean youre a life saver!

Fantastic service 5* Called and had a replacement key-fob for my VW caddy on the same day. Contacted a number of suppliers for this service and DB car keys were by far the most competitively priced. Couple of nice, friendly chaps arrived a couple of hours later at my property after booking....great service...highly recommend
