An auto locksmith in Somerset is a mobile car key specialist who opens, cuts, codes and repairs car keys where the car stands, and DB Car Keys drives into Somerset at any hour from High Street, Honiton, 24 minutes from Chard. Dean picks up 07830249408 himself, quotes the job before he sets off and can be with a car in Taunton in 35 to 50 minutes.
Car Keys Cut and Coded at the Car Across Somerset
Key blanks, remote cases, a key cutting machine and diagnostic programmers travel in the van, so a Somerset job is usually done in one visit, on a Taunton street, in a Yeovil car park or on a farm on the Levels.
When every key has gone, lost car keys in Somerset cost £150 to £220 to replace on a Ford or Vauxhall and £250 to £400 on a BMW, Audi or Mercedes, and the missing key is wiped from the car so it can no longer start it.
Before a key is made, Dean checks the V5C or the insurance certificate against photo ID, so new keys go only to owners and named drivers.
Locked Out of a Car in Somerset, Day or Night
Emergency car unlocking in Somerset costs £60 to £120 by day and up to £150 overnight, and most models open in under 10 minutes once Dean reaches the car.
Keys locked inside at a festival car park, at a gorge car park or outside a supermarket, keys left in the ignition and a remote that no longer opens the doors are the usual Somerset lockouts, and the lock, door seal and paint stay as they were.
Somerset Postcodes Covered From Chard to the Mendips
DB Car Keys covers the TA postcodes from TA20 at Chard and TA19 at Ilminster up to Taunton, Wellington and Bridgwater, and the BA postcodes around Yeovil, Bruton, Street, Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet, with Cheddar in BS27.
Each of these places belongs to one of the ten Somerset town pages below, and the exact arrival time is given on the call because A303 and M5 traffic changes the drive.

What Somerset Drivers Weigh Before Calling a Locksmith
Before calling, Somerset drivers tend to ask how a car locksmith differs from a house locksmith, whether a main dealer would be better, which makes are covered and what other drivers say, and the parts below take each in turn.
Car Locksmith and House Locksmith Compared in Somerset
Many Somerset locksmiths fit house locks and uPVC door parts as well as cutting car keys, while DB Car Keys works on keys for cars, vans, farm vehicles and classic cars only, so the van carries car key blanks and coding equipment rather than door cylinders.
What a car key job needs
A modern car key has to be cut and then coded to the car with a diagnostic programmer, which a house locksmith does not usually carry, and house locks are not part of the work at DB Car Keys.
Main Dealer and Mobile Locksmith Compared in Somerset
Main dealer
- The car has to reach the dealer workshop, on a recovery truck if no key works.
- A new key is ordered in, which can take several days.
- The workshop keeps office hours and closes on bank holidays.
- A car locked with the key inside gets no roadside help.
DB Car Keys
- Dean drives to the car at home, at work, at the roadside or in a car park.
- Most keys are cut and coded on the same visit.
- The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day.
- Most locked cars open in under 10 minutes.
The price is agreed on the phone before the van leaves Honiton.
Lockouts at Somerset Festivals, Gorges and Outlet Car Parks
Visitors to Pilton in festival week, to the Cheddar Gorge car parks, to the outlet shops at Street and to the Levels lose keys or lock them in the car far from home, and a lost key away from home is replaced at the car the same way as for a local driver.
Glastonbury Festival
Festival car parks around Pilton in BA4 are covered in June, and a location pin sent on WhatsApp helps Dean find the car.
Cheddar Gorge
Cheddar is a 70 minute drive from Honiton, so a car locked at a gorge car park in BS27 can be reached in 70 to 90 minutes.
Street Outlet Car Parks
Shoppers locked out at the Street car parks in BA16 can be reached in 60 to 80 minutes.
Somerset Levels
Farm lanes around Langport and the Levels in TA10 and TA7 are covered, though the drive to a remote lane takes longer than to a town.
A hire or lease car is owned by the hire or lease firm, so that firm has to agree before Dean makes a key for it.
Somerset Roads Covered From the A303 to the M5
Main roads into Somerset
The A303 starts at Honiton and runs through Ilminster towards Yeovil and Wincanton, the road Dean uses for most south Somerset calls.
The M5 serves Taunton at junction 25 and Bridgwater at junctions 23 and 24, so a car at a junction town or a services stop is covered.
The A358 links the A303 at Ilminster with Taunton, and runs on from Taunton towards the Quantocks.
The A39 runs from Wells through Glastonbury and Street to Bridgwater, and the A371 links Wells with Cheddar and Shepton Mallet.
Farm lanes on the Quantock Hills, the Mendips and the Blackdown Hills are covered too, and a location pin sent on WhatsApp helps Dean find a car away from a road name.
Car and Van Makes Keyed Across Somerset
Keys and programming are carried for the makes Somerset drivers use most, from town hatchbacks to farm Land Rovers and vans.
Vans, farm vehicles and classic cars are covered. Keys for houses and motorcycles are not cut.
Giving the make, model and year on 07830249408 is enough to confirm the key.
