Auto Locksmith Audley
AutoVault is the mobile car and auto locksmith for Audley, covering lockouts, lost keys, spare keys and key programming across the village, Bignall End, Halmer End, Alsagers Bank and Wood Lane, at the car. An arrival in Audley can be about 40 to 50 minutes, with no call-out fee.
Who Is the Auto Locksmith for Audley?
AutoVault is the car and auto locksmith for Audley ST7, based at Bramshall Industrial Estate, Uttoxeter, 26.5 miles from the village by the A50 and the A500. Lockouts, lost keys, spares and key programming are done at the car in Audley, Bignall End and Halmer End, with no call-out fee.
Audley is a large village in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, about 4 miles north west of Newcastle and 3 miles from Alsager on the Cheshire border, with the ST7 postcode and the 01782 dialling code. It sits on the B5500, just south of the A500 and a few minutes from the M6, at the centre of the Audley Rural parish.
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 Church Street, on a drive in Bignall End or by the road in Halmer End, so there is no tow and no dealer booking.
What Should You Do If You Are Locked Out of Your Car in Audley?
If you are locked out of your car in Audley, check every door and the boot, then call AutoVault with the registration and where the car is. The car is opened at the car with non destructive tools, from £85, with no call-out fee.
- 1Check every door and the boot
A rear door or the boot is sometimes still open, and a spare key at home in the parish may be closer than a call out. If neither helps, move to the next step.
- 2Call with the details
Call AutoVault with the registration, the make and model and where the car is, such as Church Street, a road in Bignall End or a lay-by near the A500. The price and the arrival estimate are confirmed first.
- 3Put safety first
If a child or an animal is locked inside and at risk, call 999 straight away, then call AutoVault. Otherwise wait somewhere safe near the car.
- 4The car is opened without damage
Non destructive entry tools open the door, usually in under 15 minutes on site, and the keys are back in your hand.
If the keys are lost rather than locked inside, a new key is made at the car from £180 once the V5C and photo ID are checked.
How Much Does an Auto Locksmith Cost in Audley?
Auto locksmith prices in Audley 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 village does not change the price, so a job in Halmer End costs the same as the same job on Church Street.

Starting from £145Lost Car Keys in Audley
Lost every key? AutoVault cuts and programmes new keys when every key is lost, 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 Audley
Keys locked inside on Hall Street, in Halmer End or on your own drive? The car is opened with non destructive entry tools, usually in under 15 minutes on site.
Starting from £85Spare Car Keys in Audley
Down to one key? A spare cut and programmed while that key still works costs far less than a new key once every key is lost, and it is made on your drive or at work.
Starting from £145Car Key Programming in Audley
A key that turns the ignition but will not start the engine usually needs its transponder paired to the immobiliser again, and every new car sold in the UK has carried an immobiliser since 1998. AutoVault carries AUTEL, ACDP and Xhorse equipment to programme keys on site.
Starting from £60Car Key Cutting in Audley
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, so no shop counter is needed.
Starting from £50Transponder Keys in Audley
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 Audley
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 Audley
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 Audley
A stiff, seized or dead ignition barrel 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 Audley

Where in Audley Does AutoVault Work?
Audley is in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Aldidelege, and a low earthwork on Castle Hill is all that remains of its medieval castle. St James Church, Grade II* listed, stands on Church Street, and the Audley Theatre has run since 1969 in the former Coronation Cinema on Hall Street.
The parish is a group of villages rather than one place. Bignall End lies about a mile east of Audley near M6 junction 16, Wood Lane and Miles Green sit between them, and Halmer End and Alsagers Bank lie to the south. Despite its name, Alsagers Bank takes it from the Alsager family, not the Cheshire town.
Coal shaped the parish. On 12 January 1918 a firedamp explosion at the Minnie Pit in Halmer End killed 155 men and boys, the worst disaster in the North Staffordshire Coalfield, and Wilfred Owen wrote his poem Miners in response the same month.
