Auto Key Services

Keys Made
Easy.

Lost, broken or dead car key? Kampala's specialist auto locksmith cuts, programmes and repairs keys for almost every make on the road.

— Good tools help, but they don't make a locksmith great. Years of hands-on experience with Kampala's cars do, and that is what we bring to every job.

Broken key, dead remote, jammed ignition, or a car that simply won’t start: we handle it, on site, across Kampala.

Our mobile technicians carry the diagnostic and programming equipment to cut, programme and repair keys at the roadside, at home or at work, for the Toyota-heavy used-import fleet that fills Kampala’s roads.

What We Do

Twelve specialist services covering every key, remote and ignition problem a Kampala driver or rider can run into, from routine duplication to full immobiliser diagnostics.

Cutting and programming standard, transponder and high-security keys for almost every make on Kampala’s roads.

Locked out or lost your keys? On-site replacement and cutting for most cars, wherever you are in Kampala.

Repairing water damage, worn buttons and cracked casings on car and motorcycle remotes, often cheaper than replacing.

Whether you drive a Toyota Premio, a Land Cruiser or ride a boda boda, our tools and training cover the vehicle you actually own.

What is a chip key?

A chip key, or transponder key, has a small computer chip in the head that is programmed to your vehicle’s immobiliser system. Most vehicles built from the mid-1990s onward use them. The chip and the car’s security system work together, cutting the risk of theft and making the vehicle harder to start without the correct key.

No. Our equipment only needs one working chip key to cut and programme a duplicate, so a single working key is enough to get you a spare.

Both are possible. For many jobs our mobile technicians can come to your home, office or roadside with the tools they need. For more involved ignition or diagnostic work, we may ask you to bring the vehicle to our workshop.

We need to confirm that you are the vehicle’s owner before we cut or programme any key. Bring your National ID or driving permit along with your car’s ownership documents.

It depends on your vehicle’s make and model, the type of key it uses, and whether programming is required. Call us with your vehicle’s details and we will talk you through the cost before any work begins.
