Mobile Auto Locksmith Redhills
I'm Dean — a specialist mobile auto locksmith based in Honiton, around 25 minutes from Redhills. Redhills is a quiet residential district and the most common callouts here are domestic lockouts and spare key requests. Whether you've lost your car keys, locked them inside your vehicle or need a spare key programmed, I carry professional AUTEL and Xhorse equipment and come directly to your address.
Redhills sits on the approach to the A377 Crediton road, which means it also serves as a stopping point for vehicles heading north out of Exeter towards Crediton, Okehampton and mid-Devon. I cover the A377 corridor and the surrounding areas as part of my regular service area, so reaching Redhills from any direction is straightforward. For more on the cost of a locksmith callout, see our locksmith cost guide.
The name Redhills refers to the red sandstone geology of the area — Devon's characteristic red soil, formed from New Red Sandstone, is particularly visible in the landscape around the north-western suburbs of Exeter. The Exe Valley road north from here towards Crediton follows one of the oldest routes in Devon, used since Roman times when Exeter was the fortress of Isca Dumnoniorum.
