Mobile Auto Locksmith Pinhoe
I'm Dean — a specialist mobile auto locksmith based in Honiton, around 22 minutes from Pinhoe via the A30. Pinhoe is a fast-growing suburb and I attend callouts here regularly. The mix of long-established residents on the older Pinhoe Road terraces, newer families in the large-scale housing developments off Blackhorse Lane, and commuters using Pinhoe railway station means there's a wide variety of vehicles and key problems across the area.
Whether you've lost your car keys, locked them inside, need a spare key programmed or have an immobiliser fault, I carry AUTEL and Xhorse professional equipment covering all common makes. I give a confirmed price before I travel — no hidden call-out fees.
Pinhoe is one of Exeter's most rapidly expanding suburbs. Large residential developments off Blackhorse Lane and Hill Barton Road have added thousands of homes in recent years, bringing a significant influx of newer vehicles including hybrid and electric models. All EV key programming is within scope, and I carry blanks for the most common makes. The suburb's location close to the M5 and A30 means it's also accessible quickly from Honiton via either route depending on traffic.
