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 all of Southampton and the surrounding SO postcodes, including the city centre, Shirley, Portswood, Bitterne, Woolston, Bassett, Millbrook and Highfield. We also cover the wider Hampshire area, Dorset and Salisbury in Wiltshire from the same mobile fleet.
Southampton drivers, students and commuters trust Auto Locksmith Specialists for fast, mobile help with car keys, locks and ignitions. Whether you're locked out at the docks, stranded on the M27 or M3, or dealing with a faulty fob at home in Portswood or Bitterne, our technicians attend with full mobile workshop equipment and get you back into your vehicle without damaging paintwork, glass or trim.
Lost your car keys in Southampton? We cut and programme replacements on-site using dealer-level diagnostic tools, including for all-keys-lost cases. If your keys have been stolen — a common issue around the city centre and university areas — we reprogramme the immobiliser so the old keys are removed from the car's memory and can no longer be used. We stock blanks for most makes and models, from Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen to BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Land Rover.
Car key remote programming is one of our core services. Modern Southampton vehicles — from city runarounds to executive cars, vans and motability vehicles — rely on precise pairing between the fob and the car's electronics, and we have the platforms to do it properly. Ignition repair and replacement is equally routine, with worn barrels and seized steering locks rebuilt or replaced on-site and recoded to your existing key wherever possible.
Snapped keys, damaged locks and forced-entry repairs are regular work across Southampton and the surrounding Hampshire area. We extract broken keys cleanly from door locks and ignition barrels, repair worn or seized lock cylinders, and restore vehicle security after attempted break-ins. Spare key duplication is available on-site, so you're never one missing key away from a full lockout. Whatever the problem, whatever the hour, call Auto Locksmith Specialists 24/7.
