Auto Locksmith
Calm help when the key is the problem.
Lost keys, broken keys, failed fobs and smart keys that have stopped talking to the car. Call or message and we will talk through what has happened first.
ECU Remapping
Considered optimisation, explained honestly.
Software changes to the engine control unit for drivability, efficiency or performance. Suitability depends entirely on your engine, its condition and how you use the car.
Diagnostics & Coding
Read the car properly before touching it.
Fault finding, module communication, retrofits and adaptations, approached methodically: scan, interpret, test, then act.
The full line-up
Every service, in detail
- 01
Tell us what is happening
Call, or send the make, model and situation on WhatsApp. Photos of the car or key help.
- 02
We confirm what is possible
Many jobs depend on the exact vehicle. We explain options and limits before anything starts.
- 03
Ownership is verified
For keys and programming we ask for proof the vehicle is yours. It protects you.
- 04
The work is done and explained
You get a plain account of what was done and what, if anything, to follow up.
For enthusiasts
Remapping, without the hype.
A remap is a modification with consequences. We start with whether your engine is suitable, then cover what to tell your insurer and how UK emissions rules apply. We do not promise gains, and we will not touch emissions equipment.
- Vehicle suitability checked before any recommendation
- Insurer notification explained up front
- Road legality and emissions respected

Questions
Straight answers.
Can you make a key if I have lost every one?
For many vehicles, yes, but it depends on the make, model, year and immobiliser. Give us the details and we will tell you what is realistic.
Do you need proof the car is mine?
Yes. Expect to be asked for identification and proof of ownership or entitlement, such as the V5C, before a key is produced or programmed.
Will a remap affect my insurance?
It can. A remap is a modification and must be declared. Some insurers adjust terms or decline. Check with yours before any work.
Is remapping legal on the road?
The vehicle must remain compliant with UK road and emissions requirements. We do not remove or disable emissions equipment.
Which areas do you cover?
We take enquiries from Cinderford and across the Forest of Dean, and nearby places such as Coleford, Lydney, Newnham, Mitcheldean, Ross-on-Wye and Gloucester. Tell us where the vehicle is and we will confirm.
