Had damage to both sets of my Bentley car keys. Auto locksmith specialists in Bournemouth went above and beyond to help me out by repairing both sets very quickly and at a great & comprehensive price . Fantastic service from start to finish would highly recommend them and would definitely use again !! Shawn

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👍🏼

Really prompt, efficient call out from Matt. Cut a spare key for a van - no issues. Would highly recommend this company.

Answers to your auto locksmith service questions
Yes. Using purpose-made extractor picks and lock probes, we can normally remove a snapped key from a door lock or ignition barrel in 10–20 minutes, without dismantling the lock.
A key snapping in the door or ignition usually happens at the worst possible moment — and many drivers don't realise it can be fixed without replacing the whole lock. Auto Locksmith Specialists provide a fully mobile broken key extraction service across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Weymouth, Dorchester, Southampton and Salisbury.
We arrive with specialist key extractor sets, lock probes and inspection tools that grip the broken blade and slide it out cleanly. In most cases the original lock is undamaged — no expensive replacement, no waiting on a dealer part.
If the key snapped because it's worn or has a weak point near the shoulder, we'll cut you a fresh laser-quality replacement on-site and code it to your immobiliser — removing the underlying cause rather than just the symptom. Call Auto Locksmith Specialists for fast, clean key extraction anywhere across Dorset, Hampshire and Salisbury.
