How much will a car locksmith cost?

No two car key replacement jobs are ever quite the same. There are many manufacturers and models, and a range of car ages, so even the exact model may have different key types (e.g., transponder/remote). In addition, it will depend on whether the issue is simply gaining access, replacing a key or possibly having to replace barrels. Also, combine this with the fact that no two enquiries are in the exact location, and some enquiries might be out-of-hours emergencies. As you can see, there is a wide range of variables that make it difficult to provide an exact figure for any one job. This is why we recommend contacting us first so we can take these variables into account and provide you with a tailored, accurate quotation.

What is the difference between a locksmith and an auto locksmith?

A traditional locksmith will generally have a property-based focus rather than vehicle-based expertise. This expertise makes them more adept at keyless entry than a traditional locksmith, including experience in immobiliser programming, ignition repair, and configuring car keys. In addition, an auto locksmith will require a different range of tools to address key transponder and fob issues and ignition problems that a traditional locksmith won’t possess.

How much does a locksmith charge to unlock a car near me?

Charges can vary enormously depending on the complexity of the job, with more recent models often taking longer to open. Another factor is the urgency of the work. If the job is an emergency out-of-hours requirement, then this will be reflected in the price. In addition, the location of the job may also affect the cost if you are outside of our standard coverage area. For these reasons, we urge people to contact us straight away so that we can provide a bespoke quotation that fits your circumstances.

How much will it cost to replace my car keys?

The cost of replacing a car key can vary widely depending on whether you are looking for older models, a basic metal alloy key, or a remote key fob, which again can vary depending on whether it is proximity or keyless. In addition, programming of key fobs can add further time and thus be more costly to replace. Contact us today with your model and year of your car for an accurate, free, no-obligation quote.

What if I lost my car keys and don't have a spare?

After you have retraced your steps and scoured the most likely places and still have not found the key, then don’t hesitate to contact us. Being a mobile locksmith means that we can visit your home or workplace quickly and cut and/or reprogram your car to ignore the lost key and start using your new key straight away – often in less than an hour of our arrival.

What People Say about Advanced Locksmiths, Southampton.

"If I could give 10 stars, I would. Having lost my car keys in town, I couldn't get my car out of the car park- we were loaded up with 5 Suitcases and all belongings, and needed to be on a cruise ship within the hour. Peter was amazing, while I was in tears, he reassured us that he would get us on that ship. He was with us within about 10 minutes, and we were in the car on the way to the port with time to spare. Thank you Peter for saving our cruise and my sanity!"

"Booked another company to come and make a key to my ford focus after I'd lost the keys on a night out. Waited all flipping day for a no show. Rang advanced locksmiths and they came out within an hour and sorted me out. Also cheaper than the first company and were very polite and professional. Have given 5 star for that reason. Thank you."

"Such a easy quick and friendly service. My car suddenly wouldn't start suspecting it may be a immobiliser issue I gave these guys a text on Sunday evening and after sending a quick video, i was given a possible cause, prices and an appointment with an engineer. Such a friendly engineer who went above and beyond in fixing my car. I cannot thank you enough. Will recommend to anyone."

Frequently asked questions about Renault van key replacement

How much is a replacement key from Renault?

Renault vans have been a familiar feature on British roads now for over 40 years, with the iconic Renault Trafic first going on sale in 1981. The present range includes the light Kangoo, the ever-present Trafic and its larger cousin, the Master. As you can imagine, with all of the years, models and variants built, it is impossible to give a definitive answer to the question. However, we’re confident that if you compare us against a Renault main dealer’s quote, you’ll be pleasantly surprised, and of course, we will come to you and not the other way around. The simplest way for us to quote you is to phone us and give us the exact model details, and we can provide an accurate quote rather than just a ballpark figure.

How do you program a Renault Trafic key?

We have dedicated software that we use to program the replacement Trafic keys that we create for you. We don’t, however, re-programme existing keys since there would be warranty issues with this option.
