Frequently Asked Questions

There is NO regulation in the locksmithing industry –  this means an auto locksmith can charge as they wish.

The price depends on:

  1. Type of job – Some jobs are more complex than others, for example, cutting keys for an older vehicle is likely to be cheaper than replacing lost keys for a newer locked car
  2. Vehicle – Make/model/age, for example, a 1984 Ford Fiesta with no immobilizer will be cheaper than a 2018 BMW 3 series.
  3. Day & Time –   for example, a Saturday night at midnight will be more expensive than 1 pm on a Monday.
