Auto Locksmith Alrewas
AutoVault is the mobile auto locksmith for Alrewas, coming to your car in the village, at the National Memorial Arboretum and in Fradley, Kings Bromley and Orgreave for lost keys, lockouts, spare keys and ignition faults. An arrival in the village can be about 35 to 45 minutes, with no call-out fee.
Who Is the Auto Locksmith for Alrewas?
AutoVault is the mobile auto locksmith for Alrewas DE13 in Staffordshire, working from its own unit at Bramshall Industrial Estate in Uttoxeter, about 19 miles away. AutoVault cuts and programmes keys, opens locked cars and repairs ignitions at the car, including at the National Memorial Arboretum, with no call-out fee.
Alrewas is a village of about 2,850 people in Lichfield District, beside the River Trent and the A38, five miles north east of Lichfield and seven miles south west of Burton upon Trent. Its post town is Burton upon Trent, so addresses in the village carry the DE13 postcode and the 01283 dialling code. The Trent and Mersey Canal runs through the village, and the National Memorial Arboretum lies just to the east.
AutoVault is run by Ben Astle, and the phone is answered by the person who comes out, not by a call centre. Every job is done where the car is, on Main Street, in a car park at the Arboretum or on a farm lane, so there is no tow and no dealer booking.
How Much Does an Auto Locksmith Cost in Alrewas?
Auto locksmith prices in Alrewas start from £50 for key cutting and from £180 when every key is lost, with no call-out fee. Unlocking starts from £85, key programming from £60 and a spare or replacement key from £145, confirmed from the registration before travelling.
Three things move the price. The first is the key type, because a smart key for a newer car costs more than a blade with a remote. The second is whether a working key is left. The third is the time, because a call late at night can cost more than the same job in the day. The place does not change the price, so a job at the Arboretum costs the same as the same job on Main Street.

Which Auto Locksmith Services Does AutoVault Offer in Alrewas?
Every AutoVault service is available across Alrewas and the villages around it, at the car and with the price confirmed first, for Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Nissan, Peugeot, Kia, Toyota and every other common make.
Car Key Replacement in Alrewas
Lost your only key and need a new one cut and programmed? It is done at the car, on a driveway in the village, at work on Fradley Park or in an Arboretum car park, and most replacements are finished in one visit.
Starting from £145Lost Car Keys in Alrewas
When every key is gone, a new key is made at the car from the registration once the V5C and photo ID are checked, and the lost keys are removed from the car so they no longer start it.
Starting from £180Emergency Vehicle Unlocking in Alrewas
Keys locked inside at the Arboretum, by the canal or outside the village pubs? The car is opened with non destructive entry tools, usually in under 15 minutes on site.
Starting from £85Spare Car Keys in Alrewas
A spare cut and programmed while one key still works costs far less than a new key once every key is lost, which matters in a village where help is a drive away. Most spare key jobs take under 30 minutes.
Starting from £145Car Key Programming in Alrewas
A key that turns the ignition but will not start the engine usually needs its transponder paired to the immobiliser again, which every new car sold in the UK has carried since October 1998. AutoVault carries AUTEL, ACDP and Xhorse equipment to programme keys on site.
Starting from £60Car Key Cutting in Alrewas
Standard and laser cut blades are cut at the van to the code or the original key, and programmed on the same visit when the car has an immobiliser.
Starting from £50Transponder Keys in Alrewas
From older fixed code chips to current encrypted systems, the right transponder for your car is identified and programmed at the car, without sending the vehicle away.
Starting from £145Key Fob Repairs in Alrewas
Remote locking stopped working but the key still starts the car? The cause is often a flat battery, a worn switch or lost pairing, so the fault is found first, which usually costs less than a new fob.
Starting from £60Broken Key Extraction in Alrewas
A key snapped in a door lock or the ignition is drawn out with extraction tools, without drilling the lock wherever that can be avoided, and a new key is cut on the same visit if needed.
Starting from £80Ignition Repair and Replacement in Alrewas
A stiff, seized or dead ignition is checked first to find out whether the fault is wear or electrical, then repaired or replaced, keeping your existing key wherever the barrel allows it.
Starting from £150Automotive Module Services in Alrewas
Faults beyond a standard key or ignition job, such as immobiliser faults that standard tools cannot clear or coding after a repair, are handled with module level equipment.
Starting from £150Van and Commercial Keys in Alrewas
Vans and works vehicles at the Fradley Park warehouses, on the farms and on the A38 are covered on site, with the same urgency as a car.
Starting from £155How Long Does AutoVault Take to Reach You in Alrewas?
An AutoVault arrival in Alrewas can be about 35 to 45 minutes. The base at Bramshall Industrial Estate is 18.8 miles from Main Street by Abbots Bromley and Kings Bromley, about 35 minutes of driving, and the time for your exact street is confirmed on the call.
The van leaves Uttoxeter by the B5013 to Abbots Bromley, takes the B5014 and then the A513 through Kings Bromley, and comes into the village on Kings Bromley Road. Orgreave and Fradley Junction are passed on the way in, so both are reached a few minutes sooner.
The Arboretum on Croxall Road is on the far side of the A38, about 20.2 miles from the base, so an arrival there can be about 40 to 50 minutes. Busy days at the Arboretum and the Alrewas Show are what most often add time, so say exactly which car park the car is in and the quickest way in is planned before setting off.

Where in Alrewas Does AutoVault Work?
The National Memorial Arboretum on Croxall Road has been called the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens since September 2026. It covers 150 acres and receives more than 300,000 visitors a year, many of them a long drive from home, so a lockout or a lost key in its car parks needs help that comes to the car.
The village itself has narrow streets of timber framed cottages around Main Street and Post Office Road, the Grade I listed All Saints Church on Church Lane, and the Trent and Mersey Canal, built between 1766 and 1777, which meets the River Trent just north east of the village. The Alrewas Show is held every year and the Alrewas Arts Festival every other summer.
A mile to the south west, Fradley Park is a 300 acre warehousing and distribution park on the old RAF Lichfield airfield, and the A38 dual carriageway along the line of the Roman Ryknild Street carries the trade traffic past the village. That is why vans and works vehicles are a regular part of the work here as well as family cars. When a key turns but will not start the car, programming a car key to the immobiliser is done on the same visit.
