Expert Auto Locksmiths in Uttoxeter – Driven by Experience, Built on Trust
Since 2023, AutoVault has been providing fast, reliable and professional automotive locksmith services across Uttoxeter and the wider Staffordshire area. Whether you’re locked out of your car, need a key replaced, or your vehicle’s immobiliser has failed, we’re here to get you back on the road – safely and quickly.
We’re not a national chain or a faceless call centre – we’re a small, local team who believe in doing things properly. That means using genuine parts, arriving when we say we will, and offering clear pricing without surprises.
AutoVault began with a simple idea: to bring dependable, mobile locksmith services to motorists in Staffordshire who were tired of poor communication, slow response times, and generic service.
Our founder, Ben Astle, had already spent years in the locksmith trade, gaining hands-on experience with everything from key fob programming to complex ECU resets. In 2023, he decided it was time to build something of his own—something with heart.
Starting with just a van, some trusted tools, and a mobile phone, Ben launched AutoVault with one goal in mind: to be the local locksmith service people would happily recommend to family and friends.
Over the next six months, the business grew rapidly, thanks to word of mouth, great results, and a knack for getting to people fast—even in the middle of nowhere. Today, we’re proud to serve residential customers, insurance providers, delivery fleets, and tradespeople alike—with an average of 30+ calls a week and growing.
We don’t cut corners. We don’t guess. We don’t disappear halfway through the job.
At AutoVault, we work to a simple set of values:
Looking ahead, we’re continuing to invest in better equipment, faster systems, and local partnerships to support more businesses and individuals across the county.
