Your Local Skoda Key Specialist
I'm Dean — a specialist mobile auto locksmith based in Honiton with over 15 years of experience, including regular work on Skoda vehicles. Skoda is part of the VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) and shares the same immobiliser generations as VW, Audi and Seat — from the older IMMO 3 systems through to the more advanced MQB-platform IMMO 5 used on the Octavia IV, Karoq and Kodiaq. Whether you've lost your Skoda keys, need a spare Skoda key cut and programmed, or your Skoda immobiliser is showing a fault, I carry professional AUTEL and Xhorse equipment for the full Skoda range.
Unlike a main dealer, I come to you — home, workplace, car park or roadside — and complete the Skoda key programming on-site. Because Skoda shares VAG platform architecture with VW and Audi, the immobiliser systems are well-understood and the same diagnostic equipment covers the whole group — which typically means faster diagnosis and lower pricing than a Skoda main dealer.
The Skoda Enyaq is Skoda's first fully electric SUV, built on the MEB (Modular Electric Drive) platform shared with the VW ID.4. Key programming on the Enyaq uses the same VAG immobiliser approach as the MQB petrol range. For advice on keeping your Skoda keys secure from relay theft, the AA has a practical guide to keyless car security.
Skoda Key Types We Work With
Skoda has used a range of key and entry technologies across its model range. I work with all of them:
Skoda Flip Keys
Fold-out blade keys with integrated remote, common on Fabia and older Octavia.
Skoda Kessy (Keyless Access)
Skoda's VAG-platform proximity smart key for push-button start.
Skoda Keyless Entry
Detect-and-go systems on Karoq, Kodiaq and newer Octavia.
Skoda IMMO Transponder Keys
Chip-coded keys pairing with the VAG immobiliser generation.
Skoda Smart Keys
Push-button start keys on newer MQB-platform models.
Skoda Enyaq EV Keys
Smart keys on the Enyaq using VAG MEB-platform immobiliser architecture.

Our Skoda Auto Locksmith Services
Skoda Key Replacement (Lost Keys)
Lost all your Skoda keys? No original needed. Using your VIN and VAG immobiliser data I create a complete replacement key from scratch on-site. See lost car keys.
Spare Skoda Keys
A spare Skoda key prevents future lockouts. I cut and programme spares for all Skoda models on-site — flip keys, Kessy smart keys and Enyaq EV keys.
Skoda Enyaq EV Key Programming
Enyaq key programming uses the VAG MEB-platform immobiliser system — same approach as the MQB petrol range. No extra complexity or cost, same-day mobile service.
Skoda Key Programming
Skoda key programming across all VAG immobiliser generations. My AUTEL equipment programmes new keys, syncs Kessy fobs and resolves IMMO faults on both older and MQB-platform Skodas.
Skoda Key Fob Repairs
A Skoda key fob that has stopped working often just needs a battery, button repair or reprogramming. I diagnose and repair before recommending a full replacement.
Skoda Broken Key Extraction
Snapped a Skoda key in the door or barrel? I safely extract the broken blade and cut a fresh working key on-site.
Common Skoda Issues We See
Across thousands of Skoda callouts, certain faults come up again and again. If you're experiencing any of these, I can help:
Recent Skoda Job — Taunton
Skoda Octavia — Lost Only Key
A customer lost the only key to a 2019 Skoda Octavia in Taunton. Using the VAG platform knowledge and AUTEL diagnostic equipment I attended the same day, gained non-destructive entry, read the IMMO 5 immobiliser, programmed a new Kessy smart key on-site, and deleted the missing key for security. The customer was back on the road the same afternoon at well below the Skoda dealer quote, with no recovery vehicle needed.
Main Dealer vs DB Car Keys
For most Skoda key and lock jobs, a mobile specialist saves you time and money compared with a main dealer:
| Main Dealer | DB Car Keys | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the car there | ✗Recovery often needed | ✓We come to you |
| Waiting time | ✗Days, parts ordered | ✓Same day |
| Pricing | ✗Higher | ✓Typically lower |
| Where the work happens | ✗Workshop visit | ✓Mobile, at your location |
| Availability | ✗Business hours | ✓24/7 emergency |
