Car Key Replacement & Programming in Tadley
Lost your car key or need a spare? Our Auto Locksmith Tadley team provides same-day car key replacement and fob programming. We cut and program keys for most UK and European vehicles, including Ford, BMW, Vauxhall, VW, Toyota, and more.
We don’t just copy keys—we program them to your immobilizer system, ensuring full security and reliability.
Vehicle Diagnostics & Fault Finding
Cars today are computers on wheels. Faults often hide inside ECUs or immobilizers. With advanced software, we find the real issue instead of replacing random parts.

Unlike mobile locksmiths, we work in a workshop environment, which allows us to use precision equipment.
Dashboard, Airbag & Radio Services
We fix more than locks and keys.
Dashboard and speedometer repairs – restore broken or blank displays.
Radio decoding/unlocking – reactivate radios locked by security systems.
Airbag ECU repair – reset crash data safely in line with official safety guidelines.
ADAS Calibration in Tadley
Modern cars use Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane assist and emergency braking. After repairs or windscreen changes, calibration is vital.

Case Studies – Real Auto Locksmith Tadley Jobs
Case Study 1 – Fiat Grande Punto 2006
A Tadley customer lost the only key to their Fiat Grande Punto. The car was locked, and they were stranded.
We arrived at their home, opened the car safely, and programmed a brand-new remote key within 30 minutes.
💡 If they had gone to the dealer, the process would have taken 15–30 days. The car would need to be towed to the dealer, and the bill would be very expensive. With our service, the customer was driving again the same day at a fraction of the cost.
Case Study 2 – 2016 Ford Transit Van
Another Tadley customer needed a new key for a 2016 Ford Transit. The original key design had a flaw—the battery was not changeable, so when it failed, the whole key stopped working.
We supplied and programmed an aftermarket remote key with a changeable battery. This key was not only cheaper but also more practical and durable.
Result: The customer got back on the road with a better key than the one provided by Ford.
