Auto Locksmith in Co. Wicklow
3 businesses offering auto locksmith across Co. Wicklow.
Auto locksmithing is a distinct speciality from domestic work. Modern car keys are not simply cut: they contain a transponder chip that has to be programmed to the vehicle's immobiliser, and keyless entry fobs need pairing to the car. An auto locksmith who carries the right diagnostic equipment can usually do this at the roadside for considerably less than a main dealer, and without the car having to be recovered.
Typical jobs are a spare key cut and programmed, a lost key replaced and the old one deleted from the immobiliser, a worn or snapped key repaired, a fob case or battery replaced, and opening a car when the keys are locked inside.
When calling, have the make, model, year and registration ready, since key type and programming method vary considerably between manufacturers and model years. Expect to be asked to prove ownership: any competent auto locksmith will want to see the vehicle registration document and your ID before cutting or programming a key, and one who does not ask is a poor sign.

Common questions
Can an auto locksmith replace a lost key without the original?
Yes, in most cases. The key is cut to the lock and the transponder programmed to the immobiliser using diagnostic equipment. Where a key is lost rather than duplicated, the old key should also be deleted so it can no longer start the car.
Is it cheaper than going to the dealer?
Usually, and it avoids recovering the vehicle to a dealership, since most auto locksmiths work at the roadside. Prices vary by make and key type, so ask with your registration to hand.
What will I be asked to prove?
Ownership. Expect to show the vehicle registration document and photo ID. A locksmith who is willing to cut and programme a key without checking that is one to avoid.
