Car Locksmith in Sidmouth and the Sid Valley
A car locksmith in Sidmouth and the Sid Valley has to bring the whole workshop, so the DB Car Keys van carries the cutter, the blank keys and the coding tools for lockouts, lost keys and remotes that have stopped. Google Maps puts the drive from High Street, Honiton at 21 minutes for 9 miles on the A375 through Sidford. Most Sidmouth calls can be reached in 25 to 40 minutes, and the arrival time is given on the phone.
The A3052 crosses the valley at Sidford, 1.6 miles north of the seafront, and the B3176 runs west towards Newton Poppleford and Tipton St John. Lockouts come mostly from the Ham car parks by the mouth of the Sid, Manor Road and the Esplanade, while spare keys and remote repairs are done on drives across the town and the villages.
With the last key gone in Sidmouth, mobile car key replacement is carried out at the car, and the lost key is erased from the car memory so it can no longer start the engine. Drivers in Sidmouth book a replacement for lost car keys with one call to 07830249408.
The figure for the job is agreed before the van leaves Honiton, with nothing added for the call out or the miles. The cutter, the blanks and the coding kit travel in the van, so the work is finished in one visit.
Ownership is checked before a key is cut, so keeping these five things to hand shortens the job at the car in Sidmouth.

Papers Checked, Then the Key
When the logbook and the photo ID match, the car is opened, the key is cut and coded, or the immobiliser is paired again on the spot.

Sidmouth Locksmith for the Seafront and Sid Valley
Sidmouth locksmith calls on the seafront and up the Sid Valley come in at any hour, and most of them start in the six places below.
The Ham Car Parks and the Esplanade
Ham East and Ham West by the mouth of the Sid, with Bedford Lawn on the Esplanade, bring the most Sidmouth lockouts, usually a key left on a seat or dropped on the shingle. Dean parks beside the car, and opening it by day is £60 to £120.
Manor Road, Roxburgh and Mill Street
Manor Road is the long stay car park, with Roxburgh and Mill Street for short stays near the shops. Lockouts, a key lost on a day out and remotes that stop working all come from these three.
Sidford and Sidbury on the A375
Sidford is 1.6 miles and 6 minutes north of the seafront, with its own car park in Church Street, and Sidbury lies 2.8 miles and 9 minutes up the A375. Spare keys and coding on drives make up most calls here.
Salcombe Regis and Peak Hill
Salcombe Regis is 2 miles and 6 minutes east up Salcombe Hill Road, and the Peak Hill car park sits on the cliff road west of town. Both see cars locked with the key inside after a long walk.
Newton Poppleford and Tipton St John
Newton Poppleford is 4 miles and 10 minutes west on the B3176 and A3052, and Tipton St John 4.2 miles and 11 minutes on the B3176. Lost keys, spare keys and farm van keys are done in both villages.
Otterton and the Road Over Peak Hill
Otterton is 3.9 miles and 13 minutes from Sidmouth over Peak Hill Road, just inside EX9, and gets the Sidmouth prices for every job, from a dead remote to a car that will not start.
Vehicle Locksmith in Sidmouth Against a Main Dealer
A vehicle locksmith in Sidmouth stands against a main dealer and a breakdown patrol on three points, where the key is made, how long the car is off the road and the bill at the end.
| What the driver needs | DB Car Keys | Main dealer | Breakdown cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| New key made where the car is parked | Every job | Car taken to the workshop | Sometimes |
| Price known before the work | Agreed on the call | Given after inspection | Depends on the policy |
| Nights, weekends and bank holidays | Yes, all year | Opening hours only | When the cover includes it |
| Every key lost | New key made on site | Yes, at dealer prices | Seldom covered |
| Spare remote for a Ford or Vauxhall | £80 to £180 | £150 to £350 | Not offered |
| Locked car opened with no damage | Every lockout | Not a dealer service | Depends on the patrol |
| Remote coded by the roadside | Yes, from the van | Workshop only | Rarely |
A driver in Sidmouth with breakdown cover can check whether the policy pays out for lockouts and lost keys, then compare the patrol wait with the 25 to 40 minutes DB Car Keys takes. A dealer codes keys only in its own workshop, so the car is towed there, kept for days and the bill is higher.
