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 — we cover the whole New Forest National Park and surrounding villages, including Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, Lymington, Ringwood, Burley, Beaulieu, Sway, Fordingbridge, Hythe and Ashurst. The wider Hampshire, Dorset and Salisbury area is covered from the same mobile fleet.
New Forest drivers, residents and visitors rely on Auto Locksmith Specialists for genuine mobile cover — without the long round-trip to a main dealer in Southampton, Bournemouth or Salisbury. Whether you're locked out at a forest car park near Lyndhurst, stranded on the A31, or have a snapped key at a holiday cottage in Brockenhurst or Burley, our technicians attend with full mobile workshop equipment and get you back on the road without damaging paintwork, glass or weatherseals.
Lost your car keys in the New Forest? We cut and programme replacement keys on-site, including transponder keys, flip remotes and proximity smart keys, even in all-keys-lost situations. Lost keys on a forest walk, a campsite or at the beach in Lymington are surprisingly common — and rather than waiting days for a recovery truck and a dealer slot, we can usually get you a fully working replacement key the same day. If your keys have been stolen, we reprogramme the immobiliser so old keys are wiped from the car's memory and can never be used again.
Car key remote programming, ignition repair and lock replacement are all routine work for our mobile teams. We rebuild and replace worn ignition barrels and seized steering locks, recode new parts to your existing key wherever possible, and cover everything from older 4x4s and estate vehicles common across the forest through to modern BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Land Rover keyless systems. We also regularly support holiday lets, campsites, hotels and equestrian properties where multiple drivers can mean an awkward lockout at the worst possible time.
Snapped key extraction, lock repair and forced-entry damage are all regular call-outs around the New Forest. We remove broken keys cleanly from door locks and ignition barrels, repair worn or seized lock cylinders, and restore vehicle security after attempted break-ins — including at remote car parks and rural laybys. Spare key duplication is also available on-site, which we strongly recommend for households, holiday lets and businesses reliant on a single working key. Whatever the problem, whatever the hour, call Auto Locksmith Specialists 24/7.
