Auto Key Services0
Locked your keys in the car, or lost them altogether? We come to you with the tools to cut a replacement on the spot.
Most replacement keys can be cut and programmed at the roadside, without a tow.
We diagnose whether the problem is the key, the lock or the immobiliser before we start work.
A practical, locally based alternative when the dealer’s wait time does not work for you.
Locked out, lost your keys or dealing with a snapped one? We cut replacements on site, without the dealer’s long wait.
Being locked out of your own car is stressful, and it rarely happens at a convenient moment. Whether you have locked your keys inside, lost them altogether, or had one snap off in the lock, Auto Key Services can diagnose the problem and get you back in your vehicle without you needing to tow it anywhere.
We offer on-site key cutting for most cars on the road, old or new, using computerised key-cutting equipment and quality key blanks. In many cases we can cut a working replacement at the roadside, rather than sending you to a dealer who may take several days to source one for your specific model.
That sinking feeling of realising you are locked out never comes at a good time, whether it is early morning, late at night, or in the middle of a busy car park with the shopping melting in the boot. The first instinct is often to call the dealer, but they may not be open, and even when they are, sourcing a replacement key can take days.
Auto Key Services is a practical alternative. We carry the tools and expertise to diagnose the situation, whether you have lost the key, locked it inside, or broken it off in the lock, and to work out the most efficient way to get you back in and back on the road.
Going straight to the dealer for a replacement key is rarely the fastest or cheapest option. Dealers often do not stock keys for every model on their premises, and a replacement can take days to arrive, sometimes longer for imported vehicles. If your car cannot be moved safely, you may also face a towing bill on top of the dealer’s fee.
With Auto Key Services, a technician comes to you, wherever you are in Kampala, using key-cutting technology and quality blanks to cut and, where necessary, programme a new key on site, so you are not left waiting on parts to arrive from elsewhere.
We offer on-site key cutting for the large majority of cars on Kampala’s roads, whether they are old or fairly new. Using computerised cutting machines and quality key blanks, we aim to have a working key cut and, if the vehicle uses a chip key, programmed before we leave.
If your situation needs more specialised equipment or workshop diagnostics, we will tell you honestly rather than leave you waiting at the roadside, and we will arrange the quickest practical way to get the job done properly, safely and without unnecessary delay.
Calls are answered 24 hours a day. Tell us the make, model and year, and we will tell you what we can do and what it will cost.
Call us with your location and vehicle details. In most cases we can send a technician to assess the lock and cut or retrieve a key on site, without damaging the vehicle.
Yes. We can usually extract the broken piece and cut a replacement key, or repair the lock or ignition if the mechanism itself has been damaged, so you are not left waiting on a new lock assembly.
