FAQs

BMW key questions

Can you programme a BMW key in Southampton?

Yes. We programme BMW keys at the vehicle. Call with the registration so we can confirm the system before we arrive.

What if I've lost every BMW key?

We can usually still make a new key, though some systems need extra module work. We explain what's involved on the call.

Is it cheaper than the dealer?

Often, and there's no need to tow the car. We quote before any work starts.

What customers say

450+ five-star / 10-out-of-10 reviews across Google and Checkatrade

Transit Custom Ignition Repair.

"I cannot recommend Alec enough. My transit custom lock was not turning. I did not know Alec at this point and called another locksmith. To cut a long story short the other locksmith attempted a repair and then gave up, leaving me with a van I could no longer use. I called Alec who came out next day; he repaired the damage done by the other locksmith and custom made a replacement ignition barrel so one key still does the doors and the new ignition. I couldn't be more pleased. Price was very fair too!"

"Did the work at a 3rd of the price of the dealership and I'm sure to a higher quality, the work was quick and professional. Could not recommend more!"
Google customera year ago (at screenshot)

Can work on most cars! Pricing is very reasonable! Fast reliable service!

"Absolutely spot on! After ringing about 15 different companies who said they couldn't help and one company even saying the series of my car doesn't exist I found smarttech who I contacted who could finally help! The next day he came out and I now have access and a new key to my car! Fast and efficient polite service! Highly recommend!!"
