Porsche Boxster S 986 – Barnsley – All Keys Lost

There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of getting a beautiful motor back on the road. This Porsche Boxster S customer came to us in a tough spot – our customer had lost his last remaining working key, leaving multiple vehicles blocked in and one seriously unhappy Porsche locked away.

The good news? Word of mouth is powerful. A relative had used our services before and trusted us with their prized possession. We got straight to work.

We unlocked the car quickly and non-destructively, then sourced a working remote key and obtained the data we needed. After programming a fully functional replacement remote key, this beauty was back where it belongs – in the hands of one very happy customer.

That's what we do at Top Lock Auto. Fast, reliable, transparent service for all makes and models. Whether it's a Porsche or a daily runner, we treat every job with the same level of care and expertise.

🚗 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2026 CAR MAINTENANCE TIP 🔐

Starting the year right? Let's talk about something most people ignore until it's too late – YOUR CAR DOOR LOCKS!

A sticky or frozen lock can turn a normal day into a nightmare. Here's how to keep yours in perfect working order:

✅ USE DRY LUBRICANTS ONLY – Graphite powder or silicone-based sprays are your best friends. Avoid WD-40 and oil-based products – they attract dirt and gum up the mechanism.

✅ LUBRICATE REGULARLY – Especially before winter! A quick spray into the keyhole every few months prevents rust, corrosion, and freezing.

✅ WORK THE KEY – After lubricating, insert and turn your key 10-15 times to distribute the lubricant evenly throughout the lock cylinder.

✅ CLEAN FIRST – Remove any visible dirt or debris before applying lubricant. A clean lock is a happy lock!

✅ DON'T FORCE IT – If your lock feels stiff, don't jam the key in. That's when breaks happen. Call us instead!

🔧 STRUGGLING WITH A STUBBORN LOCK?
We've seen it all – frozen locks, broken keys, worn cylinders. Whether it's maintenance or emergency repair, Cerberus Automotive has you covered 24/7!

SUZUKI ALTO - IGNITION REPAIR

Customer rang asking for a spare key, believing her only key had become faulty.

Upon arrival, it was diagnosed as a COLLAPSED IGNITION - not the key at all!

Given it was coming up to Christmas and the owner needed their car urgently, we completed a temporary fix so the vehicle could be driven safely while a new ignition was ordered.

Once the part arrived, the ignition was fitted and new key blades created.

Result? Many more years of motoring left for the Suzuki Alto with minimal disruption to the owner. ✅

🚗 All manner of ignition work undertaken
✅ Fast diagnosis, quick turnaround
✅ Transparent pricing - up to 50% cheaper than dealerships

🚗 GRIMESTHORPE - BARNSLEY 🚗

Stranded in an Asda car park, the owners of this Vauxhall Insignia had rang a few other locksmiths. They were convinced it was a dreaded collapsed ignition.

Varying from "not today" to "bank loan territory" from the other locksmiths... however that was NOT the response they got from us.

Once the brew was finished we were back in the van and travelling.

It turns out the ignition was good and it was just a faulty key.

A repair on the fly with two new buttons, a new key shell and a new blade. The car was locking, unlocking and starting like the day it left Vauxhall.

As you can see from the before picture, the buttons had long since left the board.

The repairs and time were considerably cheaper than an ignition swap.

Vauxhall Spare Key Programming - Stradbrook, Sheffield

🔑 Faulty keys left this Vauxhall unable to unlock and lock when the remote was pressed. One of the original remotes had also stopped starting the car entirely.

Ford Ranger - Birley, Sheffield

🚗 Crippled BCM left this Ford Ranger with no headlights. Not ideal when it's dark pretty much all the time this time of year!

The fault was found and rectified, and the BCM was fully reset. This is a common problem on newer Fords – when the BCM finds an issue with any of its components, it goes into protect mode. It's not as simple as changing a fuse, but we have a solution without the expensive dealership purchase of a new BCM.

✅ Up to 50% cheaper than dealerships
✅ Transparent pricing, no hidden fees

🚗 FORD FIESTA - NO CRANK, NO START

Got the call - this Ford Fiesta was completely stranded. Turn the key and... nothing. Not even a cranking sound. Classic nightmare scenario for any driver.

Here's what we found:

🔍 Full diagnostic scan performed
✅ Electrical circuits checked
✅ Keys tested for damage
🎯 THE CULPRIT: Transponder ring had stopped receiving signal input - the vehicle wouldn't recognise the keys!

The fix? New transponder ring fitted, and this customer was back on the road faster than you'd expect. No dealership fees, no stress, just transparent diagnostics and a proper solution.

This is exactly why having a trusted mobile diagnostic specialist matters. We don't just guess - we find the real problem and fix it.

Stranded with a no-start? Don't panic. Call Ash now.
