What happens at the car

Losing every key does not mean the car is out of reach. On the call we ask for the car's location, a short account of what has happened, and the make, so the locksmith knows what to expect. The locksmith travels to the car, wherever it stands in Leicester, Leicestershire, East Midlands (LE1): outside your home, at your workplace, or in a public car park. At the car, we make a replacement key and programme it so it works with your car. Everything is done at the car, so there is nothing to arrange about moving it anywhere. We keep you posted in plain language as the work goes on, and we explain what we need from you at each step. If the keys show up later, mention it when you call, because it changes what the job looks like. If you are not sure whether every key is really gone, say so on the call and we will talk it through with you.

Stolen keys

If your keys were stolen, report it to the police first, then phone Auto Locksmith Leicester on 07988 388514. Give the car's location, say the keys were stolen, and bring something that shows the car belongs to you, ready for when we arrive. Tell us on the call that the keys were stolen, so we know the background before we come to the car. We come to the car in Leicester, Leicestershire, and make and programme a replacement key at the car. If the stolen keys are found or handed in later, tell us straight away, because it matters for what happens next with the car. Keep the crime reference number the police give you somewhere safe, and have it to hand when you call if you can.

What if the keys turn up later?

Lost keys have a habit of turning up in a coat pocket, a bag, or down the side of a seat after a new key has been made. If that happens, tell us straight away when you call or when we are at the car, because it matters for what happens next. Do not assume the old keys are fine to use again without saying anything — talk it through with us first, and we will explain the position in plain language. The same goes for keys handed in somewhere after you reported them lost: let us know, and keep any reference number you were given. If you find the keys before we arrive, call 07988 388514 and say so, because the job may change. Either way, the car is not going anywhere until the key situation is sorted, and we will talk it through with you at the car.

What to have ready

Before we arrive, bring something that shows the car belongs to you, ready to show us, and stay with the car so you can show it to us. Knowing the make of the car helps, and so does a clear description of where it is parked — the street name, the car park, or the workplace — so we can find you easily. Tell us on the call if the keys were lost, stolen, or left somewhere you cannot reach, and tell us if this is the only key you had or one of a set. If someone else owns the car, say so, and keep them reachable in case we need to speak to them. We explain on the call what we will need from you when we arrive.

When this service applies

This service applies when every key for the car is gone — lost on a walk, left behind somewhere you cannot get back to, dropped and never found, or taken. It applies whether the car is at home, at work, or parked somewhere else in Leicester, Leicestershire. It also applies when the only key you had is gone, leaving no second key to fall back on. It does not apply when you still have one working key and want a second one — that is a spare key job, and it means a different visit at the car. It does not apply when the keys are locked inside the car and you can see them through the window — that is a lockout, not a lost-keys job. Not sure whether this is a lost-keys job or something else? Call 07988 388514, describe what has happened, and we will point you to the right service.
