Automotive Locksmiths

Automotive Key Cutting & Programming

Vaal Locksmiths cuts and codes vehicle keys at the roadside throughoutSasolburg and the Vaal Triangle, covering everything from a plain blade for an older bakkie to a proximity fob that has to be paired with the car's immobiliser. Keys shut inside the boot, keys that never made it back from the shops, a spare you have been meaning to sort out for years — all of it gets handled where the vehicle is standing, with no tow truck in the story.

Transponder and proximity keys make up most of what we cut these days, and we can work either from a key you still hold or from none at all. Losing every key to a car makes the job longer rather than impossible — the coding is read off the vehicle itself, not copied from an existing blade.

Keys We Work With

• Genuine remote keys
• Smart keys
• Aftermarket non-remote keys
• Transponder and electronic keys
• Key fob programming and repairs
• Ignition repairs and replacements

Coding the Key at the Vehicle

The diagnostic kit rides in the van, so cutting a blade and writing it to the car both happen wherever the car is parked — a driveway, a shopping centre bay, the verge of a road. For the great majority of cars on our roads that removes both the tow and the wait for a dealer booking. If yours is one of the exceptions, you will hear it on the phone rather than after we have already arrived.

Why Choose Vaal Locksmiths for Your Vehicle?

A car lockout is a worse position than a house lockout for obvious reasons: you are usually somewhere you never planned to stop, often with children or shopping in the back, and often after dark. Our mobile locksmiths operate throughout Sasolburg, Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging and the surrounding areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you're never stranded for long. Nearly every one of those calls ends at the kerb with what the van is already carrying.

Between us we have coded keys for German, Japanese, American and Korean cars, and the differences genuinely matter — one marque hands over a key in minutes, the next wants a security code pulled first, and a few enforce a waiting period the car controls rather than the locksmith. Experience mostly shows up as knowing which camp your car sits in before the van leaves. On the rare vehicle that only a franchised dealer can code, we say so on the first call instead of charging you for the trip out.
