When You Need a SEAT Auto Locksmith
SEATs use modern immobiliser systems and transponder chips that require precise programming. You’ll likely need our help if:
- You’ve lost your only SEAT key or it’s been stolen
- Your SEAT key snapped in the door or ignition
- The car won’t start and a key symbol shows on the dash
- The remote won’t lock or unlock the car, or the fob isn’t detected
- Your smart/proximity key for keyless entry isn’t responding
- The central locking works intermittently or on one door only
- The key blade is bent, worn, or the flip key hinge has failed
We regularly support popular SEAT models, including Ibiza, Leon, Arona, Ateca, Tarraco, Toledo, Altea, Alhambra, Mii, and older models too.
If your immediate issue is getting into your car, see our dedicated car unlock service in Bromley. For persistent fob or remote issues, our guide to a key fob not working may help you troubleshoot before we arrive.

Helpful Tips For SEAT Owners
- Keep a spare key
- A spare SEAT key saves time and money compared with an all-keys-lost situation. Ask about on-site car key cutting and duplication while we’re with you.
- Watch for early signs
- A sluggish or intermittent fob, or central locking working on only some doors, are early signs to act before a failure strands you.
- After a battery change
- Some SEATs need a brief re-sync after replacing the fob battery. If the remote still won’t respond, we can test and reprogram it quickly.
- Security after loss or theft
- If keys are stolen, we can delete the missing keys from the vehicle’s memory and create new ones that only you control.
FAQs
Can you make a SEAT key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new SEAT key from scratch using your vehicle’s security data and immobiliser system. Our dealer-level tools allow us to program transponders and remotes even when all keys are lost.
Will you need to tow my SEAT to a dealer?
No. Our mobile service brings the equipment to you anywhere in Bromley or the BR area. We cut and program keys roadside or at your home/workplace, typically faster than a dealer appointment.
Is unlocking my SEAT going to damage the car?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, protecting your locks, windows, and seals. In uncommon situations where a component is already damaged or security design demands it, we will explain options first and replace parts as needed.
How long does SEAT key programming take?
Most replacements and programming can be completed the same visit. Time varies by model, year, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe when you call.
Do you cover newer SEAT models with keyless entry?
Yes. We support smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems on current SEAT vehicles. We’ll confirm compatibility and availability of keys when you contact us.
Can you fix a SEAT key fob that has stopped working?
Often, yes. We diagnose the fob, replace the battery if needed, and re-sync or reprogram it. If the fob is defective, we supply and code a replacement.
