Auto Locksmith West London

Car key replacement and emergency auto locksmith across West London, priced upfront with no hidden fees

If you have already rung a couple of numbers off the first page of Google, you will have noticed the prices. A lost car key quoted at several hundred pounds, a call out fee on top, and a company that cannot tell you who is actually coming. That is what most of those results are, national call centres that take your details, add their margin and pass the job on.

We are Hunter Locksmiths, an independent auto locksmith covering West London. Car and van keys are our main job rather than a sideline, and you speak to the people who do the work rather than an office somewhere taking a booking.

Quoted on the Phone, Before We Set Off

Most of our West London work comes from people who have already been quoted somewhere else and want a second number. So we make it simple. Ring us with your registration, or send a photo of the key or the vehicle, and we will price the job there and then.

That price is the price. There is no call out fee added at the end, no surcharge for an evening or a weekend, and no discovering the job was more complicated once somebody is standing next to your car. We fix what you rang about, and if we notice something else worth knowing we will mention it rather than sell it to you.

It is not complicated, but it is unusual enough that customers keep writing reviews about it.

Where We Get Called in West London

The airport is the obvious one. People park at Heathrow for a fortnight and come back to a fob that has quietly died, or realise somewhere over the Atlantic that their keys are in another country. We can cut and program a new car key in the car park, which is a good deal cheaper than recovering the car on top of a flight.

Then there are the big car parks. Westfield London at Shepherd’s Bush, event nights at Wembley Stadium and the OVO Arena, and the Metropolitan line car parks out at Uxbridge, Ruislip and Northwood where cars sit untouched all day.

And there is Park Royal, one of the largest industrial estates in Europe and full of vans. Van keys and van security are a significant part of what we do. A van that will not open on a Monday morning is not an inconvenience, it is a day of work gone.

If the key goes in but will not turn at all, that is usually the barrel rather than the key, and we repair ignition faults at the roadside too. Our coverage also runs right across North London.

The Calls We Get Most

Lost Car Keys

We cut and program replacement keys at the vehicle for almost every make and model, including transponder keys, remote fobs and proximity keys. You do not need the original and the car does not need to go anywhere. Send us a photo of the vehicle and we will price it before we leave.

Heathrow and Long Stay Car Parks

Coming back from a trip to a fob that has died, or landing without the keys at all, is one of the most common calls we get in West London. We can generate and program a new key in the car park so you are not paying for recovery on top of a flight.

Ignition Faults and Keys That Will Not Turn

If the key goes in but will not turn, it is usually the ignition barrel rather than the key. We diagnose and repair ignition faults at the roadside, which avoids recovering the vehicle to a garage and the bill that comes with it.

Immobiliser and Keyless Entry Problems

Failed key fob programming, immobiliser faults and keyless systems that have stopped recognising a key that worked yesterday. If the car turns over but will not start, the problem is usually here rather than in the engine.

Van Keys and Van Security

Park Royal, Greenford and the estates along the A40 run on vans. We cut and program van keys for all the common makes, and fit deadlocks, slam locks and additional security for trades who leave tools in the vehicle overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a replacement car key in West London?

It depends on the make, model and year, because the key and the programming differ between vehicles. Ring us with your registration, or send a photo of the key, and we will price it before we set off. That price does not change afterwards.

How quickly can you get to me?

Ring us and we will give you a straight answer for where you actually are. We would rather tell you honestly on the phone than promise a number we cannot keep.

Can you come to Heathrow?

Yes. Long stay car parks are one of our most common West London jobs. A fob that sat for two weeks and will not wake up is usually straightforward, and we can program a new key in the car park.

I have lost every key I own. Can you still help?

Yes. We do not need an existing key. We can generate and program a new one to the vehicle for almost every common make.

Do you charge a call out fee?

No. The price we quote on the phone is the price you pay. No call out fee, no surcharge for evenings or weekends, nothing added once we are there.

Why are the quotes I am getting elsewhere so much higher?

A lot of the results on the first page are national call centres rather than locksmiths. They take your details, add their margin, and pass the job to somebody else. You pay for that middle step. We are independent, so you do not.

Will you try to sell me things I did not ask for?

No. We fix what you rang about. If we spot something else worth knowing we will mention it, but you will never be pressured into it.

Can you get into my car without damaging it?

Yes, that is the normal way we do it. Drilling is a genuine last resort, and we would explain why before touching anything.

Do you do van keys and van security in West London?

Yes. Park Royal, Greenford and the A40 estates are a regular run for us. Van keys, deadlocks, slam locks and additional security for tools left overnight.

Do you come out at night?

Yes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays.
