How Our Skoda Auto Locksmith Service Works
We combine experience, specialist tools, and genuine care to resolve Skoda key and lock issues efficiently.
- Diagnose and Verify
- We begin with a quick phone assessment, confirming your Skoda model, year, and symptoms.
- On arrival, we carry out diagnostics using OBD2 tools to read immobiliser data and fault codes. For certain immobiliser systems, we can use EEPROM techniques to extract pin codes and program new keys without dealer delays.
- Non-Destructive Entry Where Possible
- If you’re locked out, we use professional lock picks, airbags, and access tools for non-destructive entry wherever possible.
- Rare exceptions: In cases of severe lock damage or certain deadlocks, minimal drilling or part removal may be required, but we always explain options and obtain your approval before any invasive work.
- Cut and Program Your Skoda Key
- We cut laser keys and traditional blades to precise code, then carry out transponder key programming and remote key programming to sync with your Skoda’s ECU/immobiliser system.
- We handle smart key programming for keyless entry and push-to-start vehicles, including proximity keys and fobs.
- Where needed, we can perform ECU/immobiliser programming and adapt new keys to your vehicle’s security system.
- Test and Handover
- We test central locking, remote functions, and engine start.
- You receive guidance on caring for your new key, plus any warranty details.

FAQs: Skoda Keys and Locks
Can you make a Skoda key without the original?
Yes. Using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 access, and where needed EEPROM techniques, we can retrieve the necessary data to cut and program a new key to your Skoda without the original.
Will you damage my Skoda when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In the rare event that a lock is severely damaged or deadlocked, we’ll explain any minimal invasive steps and obtain your approval before proceeding.
How long does Skoda key programming take?
Many replacement or spare keys can be cut and programmed within the same visit, often under an hour once we’re on site. Complex immobiliser systems may take longer, but we’ll advise realistic timeframes on arrival.
My Skoda key fob has stopped working. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a dead battery, worn buttons, or a sync issue. We offer key fob repair, re-synchronisation, and, if needed, full key fob replacement with programming.
Do you cover Skoda cars across the RH postcode area?
Yes. We’re based in Redhill and cover RH postcodes including Reigate, Merstham, Horley, Dorking, Crawley, Horsham, and many nearby towns and villages. See the complete list under areas we cover.
Is a locksmith faster than a Skoda dealer?
In most cases, yes. As a mobile auto locksmith, we come to you, avoid recovery costs, and can cut and program keys on the spot—often far quicker than dealer ordering and booking times. Learn more on our pricing and value page.
