How Our SEAT Locksmith Service Works
-
Call for diagnosis and quote
Tell us the model, year, and what’s happened. We’ll outline the approach, confirm ID requirements, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. -
We come to you, anywhere in RH postcodes
Our fully equipped mobile units attend your location—home, work, roadside, retail park, or station—across Redhill, Reigate, Horley, Dorking, Oxted, Crawley Down, and beyond. -
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
If you’re locked out, we use specialist lock picks and air wedges to gain entry without damage wherever possible. In rare cases where drilling or component removal is the only safe option, we explain the reasons and costs before proceeding. -
Cut and program your SEAT key on-site
Using dealer-level tools, we cut laser keys and program transponder chips and remotes on the spot. We carry key blanks and remotes for popular SEAT models. For advanced jobs, we use OBD2 diagnostics and, when required, EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming to pair a new key securely to your vehicle. -
Test, demonstrate, and hand over
We confirm remote locking, start authorisation, and ensure everything works as it should. You’ll receive guidance on battery care, spares, and what to do if a key is lost again. Our workmanship and keys are covered by warranty.

Security, Immobilisers, and Your Data

FAQs
Can a locksmith make a SEAT key without the original?
Yes. With the correct tools and data access, we can cut and program a new SEAT key or fob without the original. We use OBD2 diagnostics and, if necessary, EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming to pair the key securely to your vehicle.
How long does it take to get a new SEAT key?
Most replacements are completed in a single visit, often the same day depending on availability of the correct key type for your model and year. We’ll give a realistic timeframe when you call.
Will you damage my SEAT when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare situations where components are too damaged or security features dictate otherwise, we’ll explain the method and get your approval before proceeding.
My SEAT key fob has stopped working—do I need a new key?
Not always. Sometimes a battery or button repair resolves the issue. We’ll test the fob and advise whether a repair is viable or if a replacement and reprogramming is the better option. See our guide to a key fob not working.
Is it better to use a locksmith or a main dealer for SEAT keys?
A local mobile auto locksmith is often faster and more convenient. We come to you, which saves towing and waiting time. Our dealer-level tools and training allow us to handle most SEAT keys at the roadside.
Do you cover my area?
Yes—Redhill, Merstham, Earlswood, Reigate, Horley, Dorking, Oxted, Crawley Down, and the wider RH postcode region. If you’re unsure, just ask.
