Common questions

Call if your exact vehicle or key problem is not covered here.

Can a locksmith open my car without damaging it?

The method depends on the vehicle and the condition of its lock. The technician assesses the safest appropriate opening method before work begins.

Can you help if I have lost every key?

Lost-all-key jobs may be possible, but the exact process depends on the make, model, year and key system. Call with those vehicle details so the team can assess the job.

Do you come out to the vehicle?

Yes. AAA Locksmiths provides mobile assistance across Cape Town. Give the dispatcher the vehicle location and identifying details when you call.

What information should I have ready?

The vehicle make, model, year, current location, the symptoms you are seeing and whether you have any working key or remote.
