What Affects The Cost Of Car Key And Lock Services
Every job is different. To keep quotes accurate and fair, we base pricing on:
- Vehicle make, model, and year
- Premium and newer vehicles (e.g., BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) may require advanced diagnostics or high-security keys
- Key type
- Basic chipped keys, remote fobs, and smart/proximity keys all differ in parts and programming complexity
- Service required
- Vehicle unlocking is typically simpler than creating a key from scratch with no working key
- Ignition or lock repair can vary depending on parts wear and security profile
- Timing and location
- Standard daytime work vs urgent call-outs in the evening, weekend, or holidays
- Mobile response across Maidenhead neighbourhoods such as Furze Platt, Cox Green, Pinkneys Green, Holyport, Riverside, Cookham, and Bray

FAQs
How much for a new car key in Maidenhead?
There’s no single fixed price. Cost depends on your vehicle and key type (basic, remote, or smart) and whether you have a working key. Contact us for an exact locksmith quote Maidenhead drivers can trust.
Is a locksmith cheaper than a dealer for key replacement?
Often yes, especially when you factor in towing and wait times. Our mobile service cuts, programs, and tests at your location, which usually lowers overall cost versus the dealer.
Can you give a price before you come out?
Yes. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate once we know your vehicle details, location in Maidenhead, and the service needed.
Do you charge extra for evenings or weekends?
Emergency and out-of-hours work may affect the price. We’ll confirm any surcharges upfront so you can decide before booking.
Can you match or beat Timpsons, AA, or RAC on price?
We’re a local, specialist alternative and often more cost-effective once convenience, speed, and mobile service are considered. Call us for a like-for-like comparison.

Yes. We itemise parts, cutting, programming, and labour so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Warranties are included.
