When You Might Need A Dacia Auto Locksmith

• Lost or Stolen Keys: We can create a new Dacia key without the original, and when needed, we can erase the missing key from your car’s immobiliser so it won’t start the vehicle.
• Locked Out Of Your Dacia: Keys inside the boot or cabin? We use non-destructive entry techniques to get you back in quickly.
• Faulty Or Water-Damaged Key Fob: We test, repair where possible, or replace and programme a new fob on-site.
• Key Not Detected / Car Won’t Start: We run diagnostics using OBD2 to check immobiliser sync, antenna issues, or key chip faults, and reprogramme or replace as required.
• Snapped Or Worn Key: We can cut a fresh blade to Dacia specifications and, if needed, programme the transponder so your car starts reliably.

How Our Dacia Key Replacement And Programming Works

1. Quick Assessment

• We confirm your Dacia model, year, and key type (standard transponder, remote flip, or smart key).
• We check security details (proof of ownership) for your protection.

2. Mobile Arrival And Non-Destructive Entry

• If you’re locked out, we use professional lock-picking tools to open your Dacia without damage wherever possible.
• We only consider invasive methods when locks are severely damaged, and only after explaining options.

3. Cutting And Coding Your Dacia Key

• We cut a precision key blade using high-accuracy cutting machines.
• We programme your key or fob to the immobiliser using dealer-level diagnostics.
• For complex cases, we can perform EEPROM programming on the bench to sync the key with the ECU/UCH module.

4. Functional Testing And Handover

• We test remote locking, boot release (if applicable), and engine start.
• We provide simple aftercare advice and warranty details on keys and workmanship.

Common Dacia Key And Immobiliser Questions

Can you make a Dacia key without the original?

Yes. We can create and programme a new Dacia key even if you’ve lost the only one. We verify ownership, then cut and code a replacement using OBD2 or EEPROM methods depending on model and system.

Do you programme Dacia smart keys and keyless entry fobs?

Absolutely. We supply and programme proximity smart keys for Duster, Sandero Stepway, Jogger and more. We test “key not detected” faults and re-sync the immobiliser where necessary.

Will unlocking my Dacia damage the car?

We use non-destructive entry techniques in the vast majority of cases. If your lock is already damaged or previous attempts have caused issues, we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.

My Dacia key fob has stopped working. Do I need a whole new key?

Not always. We’ll check the battery, buttons, and circuit board. In some cases, repair or re-soldering can help; otherwise we can replace and programme a new fob.

How long does Dacia key replacement take?

Many jobs are completed during a single mobile visit. Simple replacements may be finished within one appointment; complex immobiliser cases take longer due to EEPROM or module work. We’ll outline timings when you call.

Is it cheaper to use a locksmith than a Dacia main dealer?

Often, yes—especially for lost keys. We come to you, saving towing and wait times. For a personalised estimate without guesswork, see our guide to auto locksmith prices in Dartford or request a quote.
