Audi locksmith services across Dorset, Hampshire and Salisbury
Auto Locksmith Specialists covers the full Audi range — from older A3, A4 and TT models through to the current Q8 e-tron, A6 allroad and RS variants. Whether your Audi uses an older blade key, a flip remote, or Advanced Key with push-button start, we cut and programme replacements on-site using VAG-compatible diagnostic platforms, without towing the vehicle to an Audi dealer.
Audi shares its key and immobiliser architecture with Volkswagen, Skoda and SEAT across the VAG group, but the programming process is specific to each model line and generation. Replacing or adding an Audi key requires IMMO coding via VCDS or equivalent OEM-level tools — it is not a job for a generic key machine. We carry the right equipment for the full Audi range, including all-keys-lost situations and Advanced Key proximity system faults.
Locked out of your Audi? We use non-destructive entry methods suited to Audi's door locking systems and Advanced Key handles, getting you back in without damaging the door frame, paint or trim. If your Audi's ignition lock cylinder is worn — common on higher-mileage A3 and A4 models — we can rebuild or replace it and recode it to your existing key in most cases, avoiding the cost of a full steering column assembly.
Advanced Key faults — where the car fails to detect the proximity fob or the push-button start becomes unreliable — are a regular Audi call-out. Causes typically include fob battery depletion, programming corruption after a vehicle battery swap, or an antenna fault. We diagnose on-site and reprogramme or replace the fob as required. Spare key programming is also available: particularly worthwhile for Audi owners, given the cost of emergency dealer replacements. We cover all Audi models across Dorset, Hampshire and Salisbury, 24 hours a day.

I was down in Bournemouth for the weekend when I lost my keys. I called up Auto Locksmith Specialists, they sent out a guy called Matt who helped me get back in my car. Matt was a lovely lad, and I was very impressed he managed to get me into my car without my keys! They also cut me a key! 10/10 would recommend👍🏼
