🔑 ALL KEYS LOST – 2010 AUDI A3 – ILFRACOMBE! 🔑

Another successful job completed today!

We were called out to an Audi A3 in Ilfracombe after the customer had lost all their keys.

We supplied, cut and programmed two brand-new keys, getting the customer back on the road without the hassle and expense of a main dealer visit.

These later Audi models can be particularly challenging when it comes to immobiliser programming. They use a sophisticated immobiliser system, and unlike many vehicles, the data cannot always be retrieved using traditional OBD methods.

This particular vehicle was fitted with a Micronas instrument cluster, requiring a more involved procedure:

🔧 Instrument cluster removal
🔧 EEPROM data extraction directly from the microchip
🔧 Placing the module into service mode
🔧 Reflashing the module
🔧 Extracting the immobiliser data
🔧 Cutting and coding two brand-new keys

All carried out on site at the customer’s location!

No recovery truck, no expensive dealer bills and no unnecessary delays.

💰 A professional, cost-effective solution at a great price!

Lost all your car keys? Don’t panic – we can help with even the more complicated vehicles.

🚐 Another busy day on the road covering some serious miles!

A few jobs from today to keep us on our toes!

🔑 First stop – Withypool, near North Molton

Two jobs for the same customer. We supplied and programmed two new transponder keys:

• 2007 Lexus RX400
• DAF lorry

Both jobs completed on site, nice and quickly!

🚗 Next stop – Exeter

We headed over towards Exeter to assist a fellow auto locksmith with an All Keys Lost job.

It’s always good to help out a fellow locksmith. By working together, both businesses benefit, the customer gets sorted quicker, and we can support each other when an extra pair of hands is needed!

🔑 Next up – Newton Tracey

A 2013 Ford Mondeo owner was attempting to replace the battery in their only working key when they accidentally knocked a capacitor off the circuit board!

We headed out that same evening, supplied and coded two brand-new keys, getting them back up and running in no time.

🚘 Last stop – Bideford East of the Water

An All Keys Lost job on a W-reg Skoda Fabia!

We supplied and programmed two brand-new remote keys, getting the customer safely back on the road that same evening.

💪 Four locations, multiple vehicles and plenty of miles covered!

Whether it’s lost keys, damaged keys, spare keys or an emergency situation, we’re here to help get you moving again . 07723373061

🔑 Two New Proximity Keys Supplied & Programmed this morning – 2014 Ford Fiesta

Another happy customer over in Bideford!

The customer’s original proximity key was draining batteries very quickly, so they asked us to supply and programme two brand-new spare proximity keys.

With two additional keys now supplied and programmed, they have the added reassurance of having spares ready whenever they need them.

🔑 A COUPLE OF JOBS FROM THIS MORNING!

First up, we headed over to Westward Ho! to assist with a 2016 Vauxhall Vivaro that had developed a fault with its original remote key.

These Vivaros require specialist programming equipment to safely back up the BCM data before carrying out key programming. Battery support is also essential throughout the process to eliminate any risk of voltage-related damage to the module.

All programmed successfully, and the customer is now back up and running with a fully working remote key! ✅

Next up was a 2012 Volkswagen Polo. The customer had accidentally lost the metal blade from their key, leaving them with no way of turning the ignition.

After receiving some eye-watering quotes from other local companies, they got in touch with us following a recommendation from Marshall Volkswagen.

We headed out, decoded the vehicle’s lock, cut and fitted a brand-new blade to their existing key and, to top it off, even supplied a brand-new spare key included in the original quote! 🔑

🚗🔑 Mercedes A-Class Key Replacement in Barnstaple!

We were over in Barnstaple today supplying two brand-new spare keys for this lovely 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class!

As an added bonus, we upgraded the customer to 3-button keys, giving them a fully working boot release function too! 🙌

Another happy customer with extra peace of mind and added convenience. 🔑✨

Thank you to my local timpsons branch who recommend us for these specialist jobs too! 🙂

🚗🔑 A Busy Day on the Road Today! 🔑🚗

It’s been a busy one today, covering Barnstaple, Roundswell, Fremington and all the way over to the Valley of the Rocks in Lynton! Here’s a little rundown of today’s jobs.

🔑 First stop – Barnstaple

A visit to a 2025 Nissan Juke for our trade customer, Taw Motor Centre, to program a spare key. This involved partially removing the lower dash trim to access the body control module and fit our bypass cable. All sorted, and the vehicle now has a reliable spare key ready for its new owner!

🔑 Next up – Roundswell

We headed over to program a transponder key for a 2015 Suzuki Celerio. A big thank you to Jack at Timpson’s for the recommendation and for helping bring this job our way. Much appreciated!

🔑 Then – Fremington

A 2015 Vauxhall Zafira was next on the list for a new remote key. These keys have been on back order for some time, but luckily we had a couple in stock, so we were able to get the job sorted without any further waiting!

🚨 Emergency call-out – Valley of the Rocks, Lynton

Our final job was an urgent vehicle lockout involving a 2015 Skoda Yeti, with the keys locked in the boot and a dog inside the vehicle! 🐶

With the situation being so urgent, we headed straight over to get the vehicle unlocked as quickly as possible. Thankfully, we were able to help!

A huge thank you to Tony at TGB Automotive for recommending us for this job.

👏 A massive thank you to all our trade contacts and customers for the continued support and recommendations. It really does make a difference to a local business!

🔑 2010 Renault Clio – Barnstaple

Another vehicle back on the road! 🚗

This one was technically an all keys lost scenario, after the original key became damaged and would no longer start the vehicle.

We carried out the job for our friends at GH Auto Worx in Barnstaple, who were relying on the Clio as a courtesy car for their customers.

Knowing how important it was to get the vehicle back in action, we headed over as soon as we could and had them back up and running in a matter of minutes! ⏱️🔧

Another happy customer, another vehicle sorted, and minimal disruption to their day! ✅

25/10/2026

🚐🔑 Emergency Vehicle Lockout in East the Water!

Another emergency lockout job, this time involving a Renault Master van belonging to a security firm.

The team had accidentally locked their keys inside the van and were preparing to smash a window when they decided to give us a call! With their security dogs locked inside the rear of the vehicle, time was of the essence. 🐕🐕

We wasted no time getting to work and had the van open within just 30 minutes of the initial call — avoiding unnecessary damage and getting everyone back on track!

23/10/2026

🚗🔑 Out and about in Barnstaple and Twitchen today!

First stop, Barnstaple, to replace a faulty ignition on this 2010 Volkswagen Golf. Then it was off to Twitchen, near North Molton, to supply a spare key for a 2019 Honda HR-V.

Even with Storm Austen causing chaos, we’re still battling the elements to get our customers out of sticky situations! 💪🌧️

Whatever the weather, we’re here to help with your vehicle key and ignition problems. 🚘🔐

Proving we’re one of North Devon’s most trusted and affordable auto locksmiths!

🌧️🔑 Another all-keys-lost job, this time in Braunton!

A very dark, wet and miserable evening for an emergency call-out to a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

The customer had accidentally lost all their keys and needed to get the vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible, so we headed over as soon as we could.

Despite the awful weather, we got the job sorted and supplied two new keys: a proximity key and an emergency transponder key. 🔑

Another customer back on the road, whatever the weather! 🚗💨
