How a Mobile Auto Locksmith Visit Works
A Locked Out visit follows three steps, from the first phone call to a working key in your hand.
Call With the Car Details
Give the make, model, year and registration of the car, where it is parked and whether any working key is left.
Show Proof of Ownership
No further proof is needed when the car is at the home address of the owner. Anywhere else, a driving licence or the V5C logbook is checked before any key is made.
Get the Key Made at the Car
The key is cut in the van, programmed to the car and tested on the doors and the ignition before the job is finished.

Mobile Auto Locksmith, Main Dealer or Breakdown Service
A mobile auto locksmith, a main dealer and a breakdown service differ on where the work is done, what it costs and how long the driver waits for a working key.
| Point | Mobile auto locksmith | Main dealer | Breakdown service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the work is done | At your car | At the dealership | At the roadside |
| New key with every key lost | Starting from £135, no VAT | Commonly £250 to more than £400, VAT included | No key made, the car is recovered to a garage or dealer |
| Spare key | Starting from £80 at your car | Ordered, then programmed at the dealership | Not offered |
| Locked out with the keys inside | Starting from £80 | Not offered at the roadside | Often included with breakdown cover |
| Time to a working key | Usually one visit | A few days to a few weeks when the key is ordered | Depends on the recovery and the dealer |
For a lost key, a mobile auto locksmith is usually the faster and cheaper choice, and the guide to replacing a lost or broken car key sets out the details to have ready before you call.
