Auto Locksmith Alrewas
Lost keys, lockouts, ignition faults and spare keys across Alrewas — from the village and the National Memorial Arboretum to Fradley, Wychnor and Kings Bromley. Ben attends on-site, no call-out fee.
Alrewas — Canal Village and the National Memorial Arboretum
Alrewas sits where the Trent and Mersey Canal meets the River Trent, north-east of Lichfield. It is a conservation village of timber-framed and brick cottages, and the canal running through it still brings steady boat and towpath traffic through the warmer months.
Its most significant neighbour is the National Memorial Arboretum, the UK’s year-round centre of Remembrance, which sits just outside the village and draws very substantial visitor numbers from across the country. A large share of the vehicles parked there on any given day have travelled a long way to be there.
That matters for this kind of work. Somebody who has driven two hours to visit the Arboretum and then locked their keys in the car has a genuine problem, and it is exactly the situation a mobile locksmith is for. Every AutoVault service is available here — emergency vehicle unlocking, lost car keys, car key replacement and more.

Car Key Replacement in Alrewas

Full details & FAQs →Lost Car Keys in Alrewas
All-keys-lost calls come from right across Alrewas and the surrounding lanes. Ben recovers the vehicle and programmes a new key from scratch on-site, without the car needing to be recovered anywhere.
Full details & FAQs →Emergency Vehicle Unlocking in Alrewas
Locked your keys inside the car in Alrewas? Ben uses non-destructive entry to get you back in without any damage to the vehicle, the glass or the door seals.
Full details & FAQs →Spare Car Keys in Alrewas
A spare key cut and programmed before you need it costs a fraction of an emergency replacement. Particularly worth doing in a rural village where a single working key is a genuine risk.
Full details & FAQs →Key Programming in Alrewas
If a key turns the ignition but the engine will not start, the transponder likely needs programming to the immobiliser. Ben carries the full diagnostic toolkit to complete this on-site anywhere in Alrewas.
Full details & FAQs →Key Cutting in Alrewas
Standard and laser-cut key blades, cut precisely on-site. For any vehicle with an immobiliser — which covers virtually every car on the road today — Ben also programmes the key in the same visit.
Full details & FAQs →Transponder Keys in Alrewas
Whatever transponder chip your vehicle uses, from older fixed-code chips through to current encrypted systems, Ben identifies and programmes the correct type on-site across Alrewas.
Full details & FAQs →Key Fob Repairs in Alrewas
Remote locking stopped working but the key still starts the car? Often a flat battery or lost pairing rather than a full fob fault. Ben diagnoses the actual issue first, which usually means a cheaper fix.
Full details & FAQs →Broken Key Extraction in Alrewas
A snapped key in a door lock or ignition barrel is extracted using specialist tools, without drilling out the lock where avoidable — a common fault on higher-mileage vehicles doing rural miles.
Full details & FAQs →Ignition Repair & Replacement in Alrewas
Stiff, seized or completely dead ignition — Ben diagnoses whether it is mechanical wear or an electrical fault before recommending a repair or replacement, keeping your existing key wherever the barrel allows.
Full details & FAQs →Automotive Module Services in Alrewas
For faults beyond a standard key or ignition job — BCM data corruption, module coding after a repair, or immobiliser faults that standard tools cannot resolve — Ben carries the module-level equipment this work requires.
Full details & FAQs →Commercial Auto Locksmith in Alrewas
Farm vehicles, trade vans and delivery drivers working around Alrewas make commercial vehicle work a regular part of coverage here.
Full details & FAQs →Ford Transit & Custom in Alrewas
The Transit is one of the most common working vehicles on Staffordshire roads, and ignition barrel wear from heavy daily use is a frequent callout. Ben covers every generation, keys and ignition, on-site.

Covering Alrewas Village and the Arboretum
The Arboretum is the defining feature of coverage in this area. Its car parks hold a high proportion of visitors from outside the region, often on a day trip with no local contacts and no spare key within reach. A lockout there is a different problem from a lockout on your own driveway.
The village itself has the usual mix of residential streets, canal-side parking and a conservation area with narrow access in places. Trade vehicles working the A38 and the surrounding villages add commercial callouts on top of that.

AutoVault came to produce a spare key for my vehicle and programme a lost one out of the system. The service was exceptional and communication was excellent throughout. I was called before arrival (on time) and he did a stellar job. My vehicle posed several issues with the programming process and he went above and beyond to resolve this for me, perservering and having to come back the next day after some additional time and work was needed to complete the job which he did successfully. Extremely knowledgeable and professional, and a top guy! I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I will definitely use again in future.Posted on Google![]()

Fast and professional service. I rang Ben to replace my lost car key, he rang back within the hour with a price. The following morning he arrived bang on time and supplied a genuine Range Rover key. Excellent communication and a hassle free service at a great price.Posted on Google![]()

We were locked out our car at Alton Towers and had no other option but to Google for car locksmith. We tried the first one that came up and so glad we did! They came to us within 20 minutes, got us in the car quickly with no damage at all done to the car. Would 100% recommend if you are in the area. We are from Scotland so wasn't sure who to use but glad we used these guys.Posted on Google![]()

I have a courtesy car and the key fob stopped working. The garage were shut for the whole weekend and I needed the use of a car. Ben was amazing and went over and beyond. He was very patient with me trying to identify where the emergency override was. . He then offered to come out and he arrived within 15 minutes. Bizarrely the key fob started to work as he pulled up. He still checked the fobs battery for me and showed me where the override on the car was. He refused to charge me the agreed call out charge. In fact he refused to charge me at all. If I could have given him 10 stars I would .Very knowledgeable and a gentleman. If you ever get locked out of your car definitely give Ben a callPosted on Google![]()

Outstanding, quality service at a reasonable price. Ben went above and beyond to ensure I was back on the road which I really appreciate. I think he had to utilise all his knowledge and expertise whilst having to improvise on my challenging mercedes immobilser failure. He has a real talent and professionalism. Thank youPosted on Google![]()
