About KeyMotive Auto Locksmith

KeyMotive Auto Locksmith is a 24/7 mobile auto locksmith based in Rhyl, covering all of North Wales. The business cuts and programs replacement car keys, fobs and remotes on site, opens locked vehicles, and handles specialist work including VW, Audi, SEAT and Škoda ODIS coding, EGR and DPF work, and CanPhantom immobiliser installs. Services cover lost car keys, spare keys, car key replacement, car key programming, key fob and remote repair, car lockouts and vehicle entry, broken key extraction, transponder and chip keys, and ignition barrel repair and replacement. Costs are from £80 for non-destructive lockouts, from £90 for spare keys and from £240 for new keys when all keys are lost, which are 40 to 60 per cent cheaper than main dealers.

KeyMotive attends homes, workplaces and roadsides across North Wales. The business comes to the customer's vehicle. The service is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Response time is 20 to 45 minutes in coastal towns and 45 to 75 minutes in rural areas. Price is agreed up front before work starts. The business uses dealer-level diagnostic kit to cut, code and pair keys to vehicle security systems on site. Photo ID plus the V5C or insurance documentation is required as proof of ownership before any key is cut.

The business works from vans out of Rhyl and treats the whole of North Wales as its patch, from Prestatyn and Abergele along the coast to Llandudno, Conwy, Betws-y-Coed and Caernarfon. It runs round the clock on every day of the week, weekends and bank holidays included, and takes enquiries by phone or WhatsApp.

Replacement keys cover traditional blades, remote fobs and proximity keyless keys, with the blank and transponder sourced for the vehicle and programmed to the immobiliser on site using dealer level diagnostic kit. For a lost all keys job it asks for the V5C logbook and photo ID before starting. Beyond keys it names ODIS coding on Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda, EGR and DPF work, and CanPhantom immobiliser installs. Fob and remote repairs and broken key extraction are also listed.

All of North Wales from a base in Rhyl, including Snowdonia (Eryri).

Worth knowing: Proof of ownership is asked for before any lost key or programming job begins.
