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👍🏼

Answers to your auto locksmith service questions
Yes — we cover all of Bournemouth and the surrounding BH postcodes, including the town centre, Westbourne, Charminster, Boscombe, Southbourne, Kinson and Throop. We also cover the wider Dorset region, most of Hampshire, and Salisbury in Wiltshire from the same mobile fleet.
Bournemouth drivers trust Auto Locksmith Specialists for every car key, lock and ignition need. Whether you're stranded on the A338 Spur Road, locked out on Bournemouth seafront, or dealing with a snapped key at home in Winton, we attend with the right tools and the experience to get you back on the road quickly — without damaging your paintwork, windows or trim.
Lost your car keys in Bournemouth? We cut and programme replacements on the spot using dealer-level diagnostic equipment, even in all-keys-lost situations where every original key is gone. If your keys have been stolen, we can reprogramme your vehicle's immobiliser so the old keys are wiped from the system and can never start the car again. We stock blanks for most makes and models, from Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen to BMW, Mercedes and Audi.
Car key remote programming is one of our core services. Modern vehicles need precision work, and we have the equipment and experience to pair new keys and fobs perfectly with your car's electronics. The same goes for ignition repair and replacement — if your ignition barrel is worn, jammed or damaged, we rebuild or replace it on-site and recode it to your existing key where possible.
Broken key extraction is another regular call-out across Bournemouth. Snapped keys stuck in door locks or ignition barrels cause real problems, but we remove them cleanly with specialist tools and without damaging the mechanism. We also handle car lock repairs and replacements for doors, boots and central locking systems, and we duplicate spare car keys quickly and affordably so a future lockout doesn't catch you out. Whatever the problem, whatever the hour, call Auto Locksmith Specialists 24/7.
