Auto Locksmith Blythe Bridge
AutoVault is the mobile auto locksmith for Blythe Bridge, ST11, Forsbrook and the villages on the edge of Stoke-on-Trent, coming to the car for lost keys, lockouts, key programming and ignition faults. An arrival in the village can be about 20 to 30 minutes by the A50, with no call-out fee.
Who Is the Auto Locksmith for Blythe Bridge?
AutoVault is the mobile auto locksmith for Blythe Bridge, ST11, working from its own unit at Bramshall Industrial Estate in Uttoxeter, about 11.9 miles away by the A50. AutoVault cuts and programmes car keys, opens locked cars and repairs ignitions at the car in Blythe Bridge, with no call-out fee.
Blythe Bridge is the Staffordshire Moorlands village of about 5,900 people in Forsbrook parish, south east of the city, on the River Blithe and the A50 between Stoke and Uttoxeter. It has its own station on the Crewe to Derby line and the Foxfield Railway, a heritage steam line, just north of it.
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, at the station, on a housing estate or at the steam railway, so there is no tow and no dealer booking.
How Much Does an Auto Locksmith Cost in Blythe Bridge?
Auto locksmith prices in Blythe Bridge 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.
| Service | When you need it | Starting from |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency vehicle unlocking | Keys locked inside the car | £85 |
| Key cutting | A blade cut for a key you already have | £50 |
| Car key programming | A key that turns but the engine will not start | £60 |
| Key fob repair | Buttons or remote locking stopped working | £60 |
| Broken key extraction | Key snapped in a door or boot lock | £80 |

These are the starting prices on the AutoVault service pages in October 2026. Prestige and newer smart keys cost more, and the figure for your car is given on the call before anyone sets off.
