How We Resolve Škoda Key And Lock Problems

We combine experience, training, and the right equipment to work efficiently and safely on your Škoda.

1. Diagnose the issue

• We confirm your model, year, key type, and the problem symptoms.
• A quick vehicle security assessment ensures the best non-destructive route into the car if it’s locked.

2. Gain entry non-destructively

• Using refined lock-picking and air wedge techniques, we open most Škodas without damage.
• Rare exceptions: If a lock is severely damaged or a mechanism has failed internally, we will explain options and get your permission before proceeding.

3. Cut a precise key

• We create a new, high-security laser cut key using code or by decoding your lock.
• For flip keys, we fit a new key blade and case when needed.

4. Program the key and immobiliser

• We use OBD2 diagnostics and, where required, EEPROM and immobiliser programming to pair new keys correctly.
• We handle contemporary Škoda immobiliser generations and MQB platform models, using anti-theft programming workflows that protect your vehicle’s security.

5. Test and handover

• We test remote locking, boot release, proximity functions, and engine start.
• You’ll receive guidance on caring for your new key and any warranty details.

If your fob has simply stopped working, our team can often restore function with a new battery or by repairing the board and buttons. Read more about fixes on our page for a key fob not working.

FAQs: Škoda Keys, Fobs, And Immobilisers

Can you make a new Škoda key without the original?

Yes. We can create a new key from your Škoda using lock decoding and immobiliser programming. This service is ideal if you’ve lost your only key.

My Škoda key fob has stopped working. Do I need a whole new key?

Not always. Many fobs can be repaired with a new battery, button pad, or case. If the board has failed, we’ll advise on a cost-effective replacement and program it on site.

Do you provide non-destructive vehicle entry for locked Škodas?

Wherever possible, yes. We use specialist tools to open doors without damage. If a lock is damaged or deadlocked beyond safe entry, we’ll discuss options and only proceed with your consent.

Can you programme smart/proximity keys for Škoda push-to-start models?

Yes. We handle smart key programming for modern Škodas using dealer-level equipment, including OBD2 and, where required, EEPROM and immobiliser programming techniques.

How long does Škoda key replacement take?

Most replacements are completed during a single visit. Time varies by model and key type, but we aim to get you back on the road efficiently with on-site cutting and programming.

Is a mobile auto locksmith quicker than going to a dealer?

Often, yes. We come to you, avoid towing, and can programme keys at the roadside or on your drive. For many drivers, this is the fastest and most convenient solution.
