Automotive Key Cutting & Programming
ES Locksmith Services works on car keys and vehicle locks at the roadside across Cape Town: keys lost with no spare anywhere, keys shut inside the car, worn keys that no longer turn the ignition, and spares cut before the day you need one. You will be told what the job involves and what it costs while you are still on the phone, not once the car is already open.
Having a working key to copy makes the job quicker, but it is not a requirement — where the vehicle allows it we can originate a key from the lock and the car's own data. Have your ID and the registration papers within reach when we arrive, because we will ask you to show the car is yours before any key is cut or coded.
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 Done Where the Car Is Standing
Key-cutting and coding gear rides with the technician, so on most vehicles the replacement is cut, matched to the immobiliser and tested in the ignition while the car sits exactly where it stopped. That usually saves you a tow and a wait for a dealership slot, and it lets you stand there and watch the work instead of handing your car over to a stranger for the day.
Keys shut in the car or gone missing? Call us and you will have an arrival time and a price before we roll.

Why Choose ES Locksmith Services for Your Vehicle?
Standing next to a locked car after dark, with shopping or a child behind the glass, is not a situation to leave hanging on a vague promise. Our vans are out through the night and over weekends acrossCape Town, and when you call you get a realistic arrival time and a straight answer on cost — including an honest one if the job turns out to be beyond what can be done at the kerb.
Between them our technicians cover most of what is sold locally, European, Japanese, American and Korean badges alike, and we will say upfront when a particular model has to go through the dealer for coding rather than letting you find that out on the day. Give us the make, model and year on the phone and we can check what the key needs before anyone leaves.
