Locksmith services for Volkswagen keys, locks and ignitions.
Faster & cheaper than Volkswagen dealerships.
We've been cutting and programming Volkswagen keys across Dorset, Hampshire & Salisbury for years. From Golf, Polo, Passat, Tiguan, Touareg and the Transporter — and even classic models like the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1.
Auto Locksmith Specialists covers the full Volkswagen range — from older Golf, Polo and Passat models through to the current ID.3, ID.4, ID.7, Touareg and Tiguan. Whether your VW uses a traditional blade key, a flip remote, or a proximity key with Keyless Access, we cut and programme replacements on-site using VAG-compatible diagnostic tools, without towing the vehicle to a VW dealership.
Volkswagen shares its key and immobiliser platform with Audi, Skoda and SEAT across the VAG group. Programming a replacement or spare key requires IMMO coding via OEM-level equipment — the same generation-specific process we use for all VAG vehicles. We cover the full range, including all-keys-lost situations on older mechanical ignition Golfs and Polos through to the latest ID-series electric models with their card-style Keyless Access systems.
Locked your keys in your VW? We use non-destructive entry techniques suited to Volkswagen's door mechanisms and Keyless Access handles, getting you back in without marking the paintwork, bending the door frame or triggering the alarm in most cases. Worn ignition barrels and seized steering locks are also common on older Golf and Passat models; we carry replacement parts and recode them to your existing key where possible.
Keyless Access faults — where the car fails to detect the proximity fob, or the push-button start stops responding — are a regular VW call-out. The most common causes are fob battery depletion, programming corruption after a vehicle battery swap, or a door antenna fault. We diagnose on-site and reprogramme or replace the fob as needed. Spare key programming is also available, and strongly recommended for households relying on a single VW key. We cover all Volkswagen 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👍🏼
