How it works
When the locksmith arrives at the car, five things happen in sequence.
- The locksmith reaches the car, at your home, at work or at the roadside in Walsall.

Remote fobs and smart keys explained
A remote key fob is the remote that locks and unlocks the car and, on many cars, starts it. A smart key, or proximity key, works without being inserted, on cars fitted with keyless entry. Both are key types — never a capability claim per make.
Smart and proximity keys
A smart key works without being inserted, on cars fitted with keyless entry. A replacement smart key is supplied and programmed at the car, like any other fob.
Fob battery, shell and water damage
A fob battery that has run down, a shell that has cracked, or a fob that has been in water can all be dealt with at the car — as a repair or a replacement, by the locksmith. No fitting steps are taught on this page.
Vehicles covered
Whether a fob can be supplied or programmed for your car turns on the make and model — no list of cars is promised here. Tell us what car it is when you call — 07367 634032 — and we will say whether we can help with your car.
Pricing guidance
What you pay turns on the fob, the car, and whether the fob needs repair or replacement. Call 07367 634032 for a quote on the phone today — the price is agreed before the locksmith travels to the car.
Why call a mobile locksmith instead of a dealer
A fob fault can leave the car unusable, and a dealer visit means getting the car to them. A mobile locksmith comes to the car and deals with the fob there, open 24 hours. No dealer price is quoted here — ring 07367 634032 and ask for a quote before the work starts.
