About us

A mobile auto locksmith, not a garage

Only Car Key is a mobile auto locksmith service covering East London, Essex and surrounding areas. Car keys are all we do — lost keys, spare keys, vehicle unlocking, key programming and key repairs, carried out at the vehicle rather than at a workshop.

Because we come to you, there is no recovery truck and no waiting for a dealer appointment. We work on driveways, in car parks, at workplaces and at the roadside where it is safe to do so.

For vehicle security, proof of ownership or authority to access the vehicle may be requested before locksmith work is carried out.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Call or WhatsApp us

    Tell us what has happened — locked out, keys lost, key not detected or a spare key needed.

  2. Step 2

    Send registration and location

    Your registration number and postcode let us check which key and programming method your vehicle needs.

  3. Step 3

    We confirm availability and quote

    We confirm whether we support your model, what is involved and the price before anything is booked.

  4. Step 4

    Mobile locksmith attends

    We come to the vehicle — at home, at work, in a car park or at the roadside where it is safe to work.

  5. Step 5

    Key or lock service completed

    Keys are cut and programmed, locks are opened or diagnosed, and we test everything with you before leaving.
